Solar panels are typically self-cleaning when installed at an angle of 15 degrees or more, as rain and natural elements help to wash away dust and debris. However, if cleaning is required, many professional window cleaning companies offer specialized reach-and-wash systems that can safely and effectively clean your panels, ensuring optimal performance without risk of damage.

The cost of a solar panel system can vary significantly based on several factors, including the number of panels required, the type of system chosen, and whether additional components, such as a battery storage system, are included. Other considerations, such as the complexity of installation, the size and type of your property, and the specific energy needs of your household or business, can also impact the overall price. Due to these variables, it is difficult to provide an exact price without assessing your unique requirements. Our team is happy to provide a tailored consultation to offer a detailed, accurate quote that aligns with your energy goals and budget.

Solar panels typically come with a manufacturer’s performance guarantee, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the system. Warranty terms can vary between manufacturers, and our team will be happy to provide detailed information on the specific guarantees available, included as part of your tailored quote.

Solar PV systems have no moving parts, apart from the inverter, which contributes to their long lifespan. You can expect the panels to last for at least 25 years. While a slight drop in performance is expected over time, it is typically minimal—usually only a few percent—ensuring dependable energy generation for decades.

To receive payment for any excess electricity you generate, a smart meter is required. Most electricity suppliers offer smart meter installations at no additional cost if you do not already have one in place.

A. The amount you can save with a solar panel system depends on several factors, including the size of the system, your energy consumption, the amount of sunlight your location receives, and whether you incorporate additional features like battery storage. By generating your own electricity, you can significantly reduce your reliance on grid power, which can lead to long-term savings. For a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific situation, we recommend a consultation to assess your needs and provide a customized savings projection.
