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?
Installing solar panels involves several steps. First, our experts assess the location to find the best spot for installation. We then secure the panels to the roof or ground using strong brackets. The panels are connected with wires and linked to an inverter that converts the electricity.
How Long Does a Solar PV Installation Take?
The time it takes to install a solar PV system will vary depending on the size and complexity of the system. However, most installations can be completed within one or two days.
Is my roof suitable for solar panels?
Most roofs are suitable for solar panels. However, there are a few factors that can affect suitability, such as:
- Roof size: The size of your roof will determine how many solar panels you can install.
- Roof orientation: Solar panels should be installed facing south to receive the most sunlight.
- Roof type: Some roof materials, such as slate or tile, are more suitable for solar panels than others.
- Roof condition: Your roof should be in good condition to support the weight of the solar panels.
If you are unsure whether your roof is suitable for solar panels, give our team a call today – we’re always on hand to help.
Do I need to get planning permission for solar panels?
In most cases, you will not need to get planning permission for solar panels. However, there are a few exceptions, such as:
- If you live in a listed building or conservation area.
- If you are installing a large solar system that will be visible from the public road.
You can check with your local planning department to see if you need planning permission for your solar panels.
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.
