How PV solar panels work

Sunlight hits the solar cells in the panel
The sunlight knocks electrons loose from the atoms of the semiconductor material
These electrons flow through the cell, creating an electric current
The electric current passes through an inverter, which converts it into AC electricity
The AC electricity can then be used to power your home or business

FAQs

You must have a few questions. Here’s the answer to a couple of the most frequently asked ones relating to solar panels and solar panel grants, but if you have any more, we’d be happy to help.

How are solar panels installed?

In Macclesfield, we typically mount solar panels on roofs, but they can also go on carports or ground mounts. Here’s a quick look at the process:

Site Evaluation – Assessing your property for solar panel compatibility.
Scaffolding and Roof Preparation – Ensuring safe roof access.
Mounting System Installation – Setting up a secure mounting system for the panels.
Solar Panel Setup – Carefully attaching the panels to the system.
Electrical Connection – Linking panels to an inverter to convert solar energy into home power.
Final Inspection and Testing – Checking system efficiency and operation post-installation.

How long does a solar PV installation take?

In Macclesfield, the time required for a solar PV installation can vary, but it is typically completed within one to two days.

Is my roof suitable for solar panels?

To determine if your roof is a good candidate, consider its size, orientation (south-facing is best), type, and condition. If you’re unsure, don’t worry – we’re here to help assess your roof’s suitability.

Do I need planning permission for solar panels?

Generally, in Macclesfield, solar panels do not require planning permission, unless your property falls under listed buildings, or conservation areas, or if the system is particularly tall or visible.

I live just outside of Macclesfield - do your solar fitters operate in my area?

We regularly fit solar systems across the county:

Is it worth buying solar panels in the UK?

Solar panel technology has advanced to the point where it can even be effective in rainy England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Solar panel costs have also dropped dramatically – almost 80% over the last decade – so there’s never been a better time to invest in solar technology than now. If you have any questions about potential solar panel efficiencies for your building, then speak to our team, who’ll be glad to help.

How many solar panels do you need to run a normal house?

According to studies performed by Ofgem and OVO Energy, the average UK household uses between 56 and 72 kWh of electricity each week. To put that into some kind of context, a one-bed flat would need approximately 6 solar panels, while an average 3-bed home would need 10 panels.

Are solar panels enough to power a house?

Definitely! However, the number of solar panels you’ll need will depend on the size of your home, the type of roof you have, the direction your home faces, and your energy usage. For example, if you have a small home and don’t use a lot of electricity, you may be able to power your entire home with solar panels, but if you have a large home or use a lot of electricity, you may need to supplement your solar panels with energy from the national grid.

How much do I get for selling electricity back to the grid in the UK?

This depends on the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariff that you’re on. The SEG tariff is set by your energy supplier, and the rates can vary. However, the average SEG tariff in the UK is around 4.5p per kWh, meaning that for every kWh of electricity that you export to the grid, you’ll be paid 4.5p. If you’re considering installing a solar energy system with a view to selling energy back to the National Grid, speak to one of our expert advisors, who can give you a better idea of the sort of setup that you’ll need.
