Why choose solar?
Solar energy is a renewable resource, meaning it won’t run out like fossil fuels. It also doesn’t emit harmful greenhouse gases or other pollutants. By choosing solar, you’re reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment.
Yes, while there’s an initial investment to install solar panels, in the long run, you can save significantly on energy bills. Depending on your location and the size of your solar system, you may generate enough power to offset your entire electricity bill. Plus, with feed-in tariffs or net metering, you could even earn money back by exporting excess energy to the grid.
Absolutely. While solar panels depend on sunlight, they can still generate power on cloudy days. Also, with the right battery storage system, you can store excess power to use during the night or on darker days.
Yes, by generating your own electricity with solar panels, you are less reliant on the national grid and on fluctuating energy prices. This means you can enjoy greater energy security and independence.
Home solar panels FAQ
Installing solar panels can bring several benefits. It allows you to generate your own renewable electricity, which can significantly reduce your energy bills. It also helps to lower your carbon footprint, supporting the fight against climate change. Finally, if your system is connected to the grid, you might be able to sell any excess energy back to your energy provider.
Solar panels are designed to last for many years, so if you move house, you can either leave the panels for the next homeowner or, in some cases, you may choose to remove them and install them at your new property.
Solar panels generally require minimal maintenance. They are designed to withstand various weather conditions and do not have moving parts, reducing wear and tear. Regular cleaning and an occasional check by a professional to ensure they are working efficiently is usually all that is needed.
This depends on your system setup. If you have a standard grid-tied system, it will shut down during a power cut to prevent backfeeding the grid and ensure the safety of repair workers. However, if you have a solar battery storage system, you can still have electricity during a power cut as your system can switch to use the stored energy.
Solar panels (no battery) FAQ
Installing solar panels without a battery is a cost-effective way to start utilising renewable energy. You’ll be able to generate electricity during daylight hours and reduce your reliance on the grid, which can lead to substantial savings on your energy bills.
Without a battery, the electricity generated by your solar panels will be used immediately within your home. Any excess electricity that isn’t used will be fed back into the grid. In the UK, you could be eligible for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which pays you for the surplus electricity you export back to the grid.
Yes, it’s entirely possible to upgrade your system to include a solar battery at a later date. This can be a good option if your energy needs increase or if you want to make the most of the solar power you generate by storing excess energy for use when your panels aren’t producing electricity.
Absolutely. Even without a battery, your solar panels will reduce the amount of electricity you need to draw from the grid, especially during daylight hours. This can result in significant savings on your energy bills.
The best solar panels for your home depend on several factors including your roof’s size and orientation, your household’s energy needs, and your budget. At MyHomeSolar, we’re happy to guide you through the process and help you select the best solar panels for your specific circumstances.
Solar battery only FAQ
A solar panel battery, also known as a solar battery, stores the excess energy produced by your solar panels. This stored energy can then be used when your solar panels are not producing electricity, such as during the night, on cloudy days, or during power outages.
Installing a solar battery increases your energy independence by allowing you to use the energy produced by your solar panels whenever you need it, not just when the sun is shining. Additionally, it can help you save on energy bills by allowing you to avoid drawing power from the grid during peak tariff periods. Solar batteries also provide a reliable power source during grid power outages.
Adding a solar battery to an existing solar panel system is generally straightforward. However, the process should be handled by a professional to ensure the battery is correctly integrated with the rest of the system. At MyHomeSolar, we offer comprehensive solar battery installation services, helping you select the right battery for your needs and ensuring it is correctly installed and integrated.
The choice of brand depends on your specific needs and budget. At MyHomeSolar, we offer a wide range of solar batteries from leading brands such as GroWatt, SolaX, Samsung, LG, Tesla, and Energizer. Each brand has its unique features and benefits, and our team can help you select the one that best suits your requirements.
The lifespan of a solar panel battery depends on the brand and model, as well as how frequently it is used. Most high-quality solar batteries last between 10 and 15 years, and many come with warranties to guarantee their performance for a certain period. Regular maintenance can also help extend the lifespan of your solar battery.
Commercial Solar FAQ
There are primarily three types of commercial solar panel systems: rooftop solar systems, ground-mounted solar systems, and solar carport systems. The choice of system depends on the available space, energy requirements, and business objectives.
Choosing the right system for your business depends on several factors such as the available space (roof, ground, or car park), your energy consumption, and your budget. At My Home Solar, we offer a comprehensive site assessment and provide a customised solution that meets your specific needs and objectives.
Commercial solar panel systems can significantly reduce your energy costs, increase your energy independence, and contribute to environmental sustainability. Additionally, they can increase your property value and enhance your brand’s corporate social responsibility.
Yes, depending on the available space and your energy needs, you can install more than one type of commercial solar system. For instance, if you have a large plot of land, you could install a ground-mounted system in addition to a rooftop system to maximise your solar energy production.
The process begins with a site assessment to determine the most suitable type of system for your business. Following this, our team at My Home Solar designs a customised solution. Once approved, we schedule the installation at a time that minimises disruption to your operations. After installation, we provide ongoing maintenance and support to ensure your system operates at peak efficiency.
