Frequently asked questions

Are solar panels right for my home? expandable section
PV panels will work for most homes, but things like the direction, angle and the size of your roof will affect how much energy you’ll capture.

Your installer should provide a free survey to make sure solar is suitable for your home.

Ideally:
- Your roof should face south, without too much shade caused by trees or buildings. Panels on east or west facing rooftops will produce 80-85% of this energy.
- The perfect angle to capture solar energy is between 30-40º, the most typical angle of a UK rooftop.
- The more panels that can fit on your roof, the better. A roof area between 10-20m2 can usually deliver up to 45% of an average household’s electricity needs.
Do I have to get a battery? expandable section

You don’t have to add a battery to get solar energy in your home. But without one, you will only be able to use energy at the time it is generated. A smart solar battery stores your energy so you can use it when you need it.
