When your solar panels generate electricity, it is sent directly into your home’s electrical system through micro-inverters, which connect to your main grid. These inverters automatically ensure the energy flows smoothly into your home’s grid. When your solar panels are producing power, your appliances will automatically use this energy first, before drawing from the national grid.

If you’re using more energy than your solar panels generate, the system will provide as much energy as possible, with the remainder coming from the grid. Conversely, if you're generating more energy than you need, the excess is sent back to the national grid. This process happens seamlessly and without the need for any manual switching.

This integrated system allows you to save money on your electricity bills by using your solar energy first, reducing your reliance on the grid. Plus, it's completely legal and works in harmony to match your energy needs

When choosing the right Solar Power kit, consider these three key factors:

1. Electricity Usage:A medium household uses around 350 kWh per month. Our reccomendation is, 450W solar panel producing about 35 kWh per month, so a 10 panel Kit (4.5kW) would cover most of the average household’s daily energy usage.

2. Available Installation Area: Solar panels can be installed on roofs (tiled, slate, metal) or flat ground. The space available will determine how many panels you can install, but we can help design a system that fits your needs.

3. Budget: Your budget will determine the size of the solar kit you can afford. A smaller budget means fewer panels and lower savings, but you can gradually expand the system over time. With a larger budget and more space, you can install more panels for greater energy savings.

The good news is it starts saving money from day one. Not every situation is identical but you should expect your system to pay for itself between three to five years on the energy savings alone.

Added to the fact that it will add a 2% to 5 % value on your home and increase your EPC level means it has effectively paid for itself the minute you switch it on. 

For more accurate information we are more than happy to advice with our on hand professional consultant.

You can add as many panels to the system as you wish. The more you have the more you save. It is always best to call one of our on hand consultants if you are not sure what size or refer to our size guide page

The DIY Solar kits come with certifications based on the manufacturer’s standard. The solar panels and mounting system are MCS certified (please note, micro-inverters don’t require MCS certification). Both the solar panels and micro-inverters are also G98/99 and CE certified, while the mounting system doesn’t require G98 certification. If you need any of the certification details, feel free to ask – we’re happy to provide them!

In the UK, planning permission is generally not required and falls under Permitted Development for solar panel installations, Planning may be required if you are in a Area Of Natural Outstanding Beauty or a Listed Building. If you have any doubts please feel free to call us directly.

You are required to fill out a standard form called a G98 and send to your local network operator (DNO). The form is easy to complete. We are always on hand if you need any assistance.

We provide a 25 Year Manufacturers warranty on the Panels & Inverters.

This is a no quibble warranty.

All you need to do is let us know the roof type and we will provide the correct kit with easy to follow instructions.
