PLUG-IN SOLAR

1: What is the best position for Plug-In Solar Panels?

A south-facing location with direct sunlight will typically deliver the highest energy generation throughout the year. East and west-facing installations can also perform well, although energy production may be lower. For maximum performance, avoid areas with excessive shading from buildings, trees, or other obstructions.

2: How much can I save with Plug-In Solar Panels?

Savings vary depending on your property type, electricity usage, panel orientation, and time spent at home. Many households can reduce electricity costs by up to 25%, or with our future battery energy systems, up to 60% . For a personalised estimate, please get in touch via our Contact page.

3: What’s included in the box?

The contents vary depending on the package selected. Please refer to the information under each Solar Panel Package above.

4: What if I need more panels?

Additional panels can be purchased separately to expand your solar generation capacity. Our team can help recommend the most suitable configuration based on current UK legislation & your energy requirements.

5: Do the panels come with a warranty?

Yes – warranty information can be found in the product spec for each panel.

6: What is a microinverter and why do I need one?

A microinverter converts the electricity generated by your solar panels into usable power for your home. It allows the energy produced by the panels to be used safely and efficiently through your property’s electrical system.

7: What should I consider before investing in a Plug-In Solar Panel Solution?

Before purchasing, consider:

Any building management or freeholder requirements (if applicable)

Whether your chosen location receives sufficient sunlight

The structural suitability of the installation area

Potential shading throughout the day

Wind exposure and mounting security

8: Can I install the panels on my roof?

Yes. While our Plug-In Solar Solutions are designed for simple ground or balcony installation, professional roof installation can be arranged at an additional cost.

9: Can I use the panels indoors?

Solar panels generate electricity from light, so if possible, they should always be installed outdoors in direct sunlight. They can produce power indoors near a bright window. However, performance will be significantly reduced because:

• Window glass reduces solar irradiance
• Indoor light levels are much lower than outdoor sunlight
• A 540W panel may only generate a small fraction of its rated output indoors
• The panels are over 2 metres long and can be difficult to position effectively within a home

10: What’s the difference between Essential, Advanced, and Panels Only?

Essential Solution

A complete plug-and-play system including solar panels, microinverter, cables and mounting brackets.

Advanced Solution

Everything included in the Essential package, plus battery storage for greater energy independence and increased savings. Please note, battery storage systems must be installed by a professional and cannot be plugged directly into a mains socket.

Panels Only

This option includes solar panels only and is not a plug-and-play solution. No microinverter, battery, or mounting brackets are included. This option is intended for customers with existing equipment or bespoke installation requirements.
