New Homeowner Information

The homeowner owns the system on private residences.

Nothing! As long as your electricity is switched on, the solar panels will automatically generate power during daylight hours and distribute it to your property via the consumer unit/distribution board.

Yes, installing solar PV will reduce your electricity bills. The exact savings depend on the system’s size and your specific electricity usage. Any excess power generated during the day flows back to the grid.

Solar panels generate energy only when there’s sunlight. On cloudy days or at night, the system will not produce power, and you’ll use electricity from the grid. There will be no power interruptions—it’s a seamless transition.

Solar PV is a reliable, proven technology. Panels have been used worldwide for years. Your system comes with manufacturer warranties, and we also provide a 2-year workmanship warranty.

The PV system ownership transfers to the new homeowner. If the property is part of the Feed-In Tariff (FIT), you’ll need to surrender your FIT, and the new owner will apply for it.

On top of or built into your roof is an array of solar panels that work together to produce power. The power that these create is sent to an Inverter (generally installed in your loft space) which is a device that converts direct current (DC) from the panels to alternating current (AC) for use in homes and the grid. The power that is created is measured using a generation meter. Finally, the power ends up at your consumer unit which is also known as a fuse board or electrical fuse box, this device distributes electricity from the mains supply and your PV system to individual circuits around a property. Any unused energy will be exported back to the grid, see Getting Paid for excess generation.
