What Is Solar PV?

Solar panels offer an eco-friendly and economical way to power your household. The power of the sun is captured by solar panels and converted into electrical energy, to power your household devices.

Any surplus electricity produced can be fed back into the grid or saved in a battery, resulting in substantial savings on your energy bills and a reduction in carbon emissions.

These solar systems require little maintenance and incorporate advanced features that make them nearly self-cleaning, ensuring maximum energy production as often as possible.

Types of Solar Panels

Not all solar panels are the same, and finding the right fit for your roof can make a real difference to the efficiency and output of your system. We’ll always recommend the most suitable option for your home and circumstances.

Monocrystalline solar panels

Monocrystalline panels are widely regarded as the most efficient option on the market. They perform well even in lower light conditions, making them ideal for homes in the UK climate.

Polycrystalline solar panels

Polycrystalline panels are a cost-effective alternative to monocrystalline. They’re a practical choice for homeowners looking to maximise roof coverage on a budget.

Thin film solar panels

Thin film solar panels are a more adaptable option for homes where traditional panels may not be suitable. Their efficiency is lower than crystalline panels, but they hold up well in heat and low-angle sunlight.

Solar tiles and integrated systems

Solar tiles are an increasingly popular choice for those who want the benefits of solar without the appearance of traditional panels. They’re particularly well suited to new builds or properties where aesthetics are a priority.

Benefits of Installing Solar Panels

Making the switch to solar is one of the smartest decisions a homeowner can make. From reducing energy costs to reducing your carbon footprint, solar panels deliver tangible, lasting benefits. With our expert installation, you can enjoy the results straight away.

Reduced energy bills

Solar panels generate free electricity from sunlight, meaning you depend less on energy suppliers and more on your own clean energy. Many of our customers see a notable decrease in their electricity bills from day one, with savings that only build over time.

Lower carbon footprint

Every unit of solar energy you generate is one less unit sourced from non-renewables. Installing solar panels is one of the most impactful steps you can take to reduce your household emissions and play your part in a greener future.

Energy independence

With solar panels, especially when paired with battery storage, you’re no longer at the mercy of rising energy prices. Generate, store, and use your own electricity on your own terms, giving you greater control over your home’s energy supply.

Increased property value

Solar panels are increasingly regarded as an attractive addition by prospective buyers. A well-installed solar system can add meaningful value to your property, making it a smart long-term investment as well as an everyday money-saver.

How Much Does Solar PV Cost in Bridgwater

Average installation costs in Bridgwater

A typical residential solar PV system in the UK costs between £5,000 and £9,000, depending on the system size and property type. For most homes, a 3.5kWp to 6kWp system covers the bulk of day-to-day energy requirements, and our team will always recommend the most suitable system for your circumstances.

What affects the price of solar panels?

Various elements influence the overall cost of a solar PV installation, including the size of the system needed, your roof’s type and angle, your location, and whether you decide to pair the system with battery storage. Our team will carry out a full assessment of your property to give you a straightforward, no-obligation quote tailored to your home.

Running costs and efficiency

Once installed, solar panels have very low running costs. Modern solar PV systems are built to last 25 years or more, with little upkeep needed. Efficiency ratings on today’s panels continues to improve, meaning you get more from your roof than ever before, keeping your long-term costs as low as possible.

Living With Solar Panels

01. Do solar panels work on cloudy days?

Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on overcast days, just at a reduced output. The UK receives enough daylight year-round to make solar a worthwhile and reliable source of energy for your home.

02. Do solar panels require much maintenance?

Solar panels are largely maintenance-free. Occasional cleaning and an annual check from our service team is all that’s needed to keep your system running efficiently for decades.

Day to day energy and savings

Your solar panels work quietly in the background, generating clean electricity throughout the day. Over the course of a day, your system will take care of your home’s energy needs, cut your dependence on the grid, and reduce your bills with every unit of energy produced.

Our Solar Panel Guarantees and Maintenance

Making the switch to solar you deserve the peace of mind that your system will stand the test of time. We only install from market-leading manufacturers and stand behind every installation we carry out, so you’re completely covered from day one.

Manufacturer warranties

All solar panels we install come with a manufacturer’s warranty, typically covering between 10 and 25 years. You’ll also benefit from performance guarantees, ensuring your panels carry on producing power at an agreed output level throughout their lifespan.

Expected system lifespan

A quality solar PV system will typically last 25 to 30 years. Output does gently decline over the years, but modern panels are engineered to retain the vast majority of their output long into their lifespan.

Ongoing maintenance requirements

Solar panels require very little ongoing attention. We recommend a yearly check from our service team together with occasional panel cleaning to keep your system performing at its best and safeguard your investment for the future.

Common Queries

Frequently Asked Questions

01. Can I sell excess solar energy back to the grid?

Yes, through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can sell any unused electricity back to the grid. Eligible homeowners are paid per unit of electricity exported, adding further value to your solar installation.

02. Do I need planning permission for solar panels?

In most cases, solar panels are considered permitted development and do not require planning permission. This may differ for listed buildings or homes within conservation areas, and we’ll let you know if anything applies to your home.

03. What happens to my solar panels on cloudy days?

Solar panels continue to generate electricity on cloudy days, just at a reduced output. Year-round daylight in the UK means solar remains a reliable and rewarding choice regardless of the season.

04. Can I add battery storage to my solar panels?

Yes, battery storage can be added at the time of installation or retrofitted at a later date. A battery lets you hold onto surplus energy and use it when your panels aren’t generating.
