Solar power
Everything you need to know about solar power
How it works, how we size it, and what you actually get for your money.
How does solar power work?
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. That energy flows through an inverter which powers your home, and any excess goes back to the grid — or into a battery, if installed. It's simple, silent, and slashes your power bills from day one.
How do we size your solar system?
We size the system around how you actually use power, not a rule of thumb. We look at your past bills and consumption pattern, your roof space and orientation, and what you want the system to do — then recommend the panel count and inverter capacity that gets you there.
Can solar work on cloudy days or at night?
Panels still generate on cloudy days, though output is reduced compared with clear conditions. At night they produce nothing, but you can store the day's excess in a battery, or draw from the grid and offset it through your feed-in tariff.
How long does a solar system last?
Panels typically last 25–30 years, with most manufacturers offering performance warranties across that period. Maintenance is minimal — occasional cleaning to remove dust or debris, and periodic checks that connections and inverters are working properly.
