Frequently asked questions

Solar panel questions, answered.

Will solar panels work when it’s cloudy?

Yes — panels still generate power on overcast days, just at reduced output. They don’t need constant direct sunshine or a south-facing roof to work effectively.

Do I need a large roof to have solar?

Not necessarily. A typical 8-panel system for an average household fits comfortably on the roof of a standard 3-bed semi.

Can I use my solar panels during a power cut?

Solar systems include safety features that automatically shut off during a power cut, to protect anyone working on the grid. Adding battery backup lets you keep power running even when the grid goes down.

Can I go fully off-grid with solar alone?

Not on solar alone — panels only generate during daylight hours. Pairing solar with battery storage gets you much closer to energy independence.

Can I charge my electric car from my solar panels?

Yes, if you’re charging during daylight hours. To charge overnight from stored solar power, you’ll need a battery storage system alongside your panels.

How long does installation take?

Most domestic solar systems are installed within 1–3 days, with minimal disruption to your home.
