Solar FAQ
A clearer picture before you decide.
Start here for the essentials. Your proposal should address the conditions and requirements of your own property.
Is my property suitable for solar?
We assess available roof or land area, structure, shading, access, electrical supply and your usage pattern. A site review is needed before confirming suitability or system size.
How much could I save?
Savings depend on when you use electricity, the tariff, system design, shading and sunlight. Ask for a site-specific estimate that clearly states its assumptions; savings and payback are not guaranteed.
Will solar work during a power cut?
A standard grid-connected solar system normally shuts down during a grid outage for safety. Backup requires suitable equipment, an approved design and dedicated backup circuits where needed. A battery alone does not guarantee whole-home backup.
What happens on cloudy days and at night?
Cloud cover can reduce solar output. Solar panels do not generate from moonlight at useful household levels. At night, the property uses the grid or suitable battery storage, depending on system design and battery charge.
How long does installation take?
The programme depends on system size, access, approvals, equipment availability and construction scope. The team can outline a realistic schedule after reviewing your site.
Which approvals or programmes apply?
Requirements vary by project, connection arrangement and current regulations. Confirm the applicable route with the team and the relevant authorities before committing. Tariffs, programme availability and eligibility may change.
What happens after installation?
Agree on commissioning, handover information, monitoring access where included, maintenance scope and warranty contacts in the proposal. Product warranties follow the relevant manufacturer’s terms.
What if I sell the property?
Ownership, warranties and any electricity or finance agreements need to be reviewed. Ask the team and your professional advisers what can transfer before completing the sale.
