01 The questions

Everything
people ask.

How much are solar panels?

Our guide pricing starts from £9,500 for a 4kWp system with 10kWh of battery capacity, rising to £12,500 for 8kWp with 10kWh. Those figures are inclusive of VAT, currently at 0%, and include DNO G98/G99, a 6 year financial protection policy, scaffolding and MCS registration and certificate. They are guide costs for information — the pricing depends on your requirements, compatible brands, capacity and additional components, so every quote is priced to your own usage profile, time of use and available roof space.

Which size system do I need?

Determining the appropriate size for your solar panel system involves considering factors like your energy consumption, roof space, and local sunlight conditions. Begin by assessing your average daily energy usage, which can be found on your electricity bill. Next, factor in your location’s solar irradiance. Areas with more sunlight may require fewer panels. Roof space is crucial; ensure it can accommodate the chosen system size. Consult with a solar panel professional for a personalised assessment. They’ll be the right person to understand your specific energy needs, budget, and any local regulations. Contact us now to speak to one of our specialists.

Are there any warranties or guarantees on your electrical services?

Working with a NICEIC-approved contractor (that we are) means receiving guaranteed professionalism, satisfaction, and high-quality service for your electrical works at home or on a commercial property. This further ensures safety and competence, compliance with building regulations, and our Solar PV installations come with a 6 year financial protection policy through the Consumer Protection Association for your peace of mind. So you can rest assured, all your electrical works will be in the safe hands of our expert electricians.

Can you assist with energy-efficient lighting solutions for businesses?

We can offer comprehensive electrical services for businesses, including energy-efficient lighting solutions such as solar PV installation. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are an excellent energy-efficient solution in the UK. They convert sunlight into electricity, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly energy source. It also reduces your business’s reliance on the grid and lowers energy costs. That said, you can trust our team with reliable and high-quality solar panels. We’ll also provide a return-on-investment report to aid in your financial decision.

How do I know if I need electrical maintenance for my home or business?

Identifying the need for electrical maintenance in your home or business involves paying attention to signs and conducting periodic checks: Do you face frequent electrical issues – blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers, flickering lights, regular power outages? If your property has old wiring, it may be time for an upgrade. Do you get unusual odours or see sparks when using electrical outlets or switches? Have you experienced mild shocks when using appliances or switches of late? Sudden spikes in energy bills can also be a signal that you need electrical maintenance immediately. Our team will help you with inspections, repair, maintenance, and other crucial electrical services.
