Frequently Asked Questions
Most domestic solar panel installations take no more than a few days, with scaffolding typically being installed a couple of days earlier and a come down a few days after.
Solar panel systems are built to last for more than 25 years and even after this time has passed, the system will continue to generate at least 80% of its initial output peak rate.
An air source heat pump is a system that sits outside of your home and utilises a fan to draw air through refrigerant piping. This air is then harvested for heat energy.
While it’s true that solar panels work best on any south facing roof, solar PV panels installed on roofs which are East or West facing will still operate at 85% efficiency and will still generate a significant amount of electricity throughout the day.
No, solar panels work in all daylight conditions, even on cloudy or rainy days.
Do I need planning permission to install solar panels?
Just like a Gas Boiler, your air source heat pump system will also require an annual service from a qualified engineer. Speak to our team today if you require a air source heat pump service.
You don’t usually require planning permission to install an air source heat pump. But if you are unsure do not hesitate to contact your local planning office to check.
You can clean the outside of the system. The internals are cleaned when your annual service takes place.
No, generally, an air source heat pump produces noise levels of 40-60 decibels from a distance of one meter away.
No, only a few meters squared outside.
Each panel measures around 1.8 x 1.1 meters. Therefore, for 8 panels you would need to have roof space which measured at least 14.4 x 8.8 meters. However, the more roof space you have the more panels can be installed.
All of our panels have a 25 year warranty and the batteries come with a 10 year warranty.
No, they are self cleaning. One less thing you need to worry about!
Yes, it is possible but most system do need to be connected to the grid.
On average a air source heat pump system will take around 4 days to install by one of our professional engineers.
An EPC can help indicate suitability. However, it may take a professional to carry out a survey.
Yes, if you have enough panels. We would highly recommend that you also install a battery storage system with your solar panels. If you would like advice on installing solar panels and EV charging in your property speak to one of our team.
Most charging points are now designed to be compatible for most electric vehicles. If you are unsure about the fitting speak to our team before installing.
On average it will take one of our professional engineers 4 hours to fit and test your new EV charging point.
No, we are lucky enough to have an in-house team of qualified engineers which means we can always monitor the quality and consistency of our work.
We can provide any solar panel installation, air source heat pump installation and servicing and EV charging installation across the whole of the South West.
