How Solar Panels Work
Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) power.
Your solar PV system then uses an inverter to convert that into usable alternating current (AC), which powers your property.
Any surplus electricity not used immediately can be stored in a solar battery or exported to the grid.
By generating your own solar energy, you can use what you produce and sell the rest, helping you save money on your electricity bills while reducing your impact on the environment.

We usually complete installations within 5–7 working days from your quote approval.
Do you cover my area?
Yes, we serve all major towns in Kent including Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury, Tonbridge, and more.
How much money can I save with solar panels?
Most Kent homeowners save between 50–70% on their electricity bills annually, depending on system size and usage.
Can I add battery storage later?
Yes. Our systems are battery-ready, so you can add storage anytime without replacing your solar setup.
What if my roof isn’t ideal for solar?
We offer solutions for complex roofs, including ground-mounted systems and east/west-facing arrays.
Is solar energy reliable in the UK?
Absolutely. Modern solar panels are highly efficient even on cloudy days and can generate energy year-round.
What warranties do you offer?
All our systems come with manufacturer warranties of 10–25 years, plus our own workmanship guarantee.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
Yes. We work with trusted finance providers to offer flexible payment options that suit your budget.
How many solar panels do I need?
It depends on your roof size and energy usage. Most homes install between 8–16 panels for 3kW–6kW systems.
What is the typical payback period?
Most homeowners see full ROI within 6–9 years, faster if paired with battery storage or under a group buying scheme.
Will my system work on cloudy days?
Yes. While solar panels work best in full sun, modern solar technology still generates power in low light.
Can I use solar to charge my electric car?
Absolutely. We install EV chargers that work seamlessly with your solar panel system, helping you reduce fuel costs and emissions.
What is the 20% rule for solar panels?
The 20% rule for solar panels refers to a UK planning regulation that limits how much of your roof’s surface area can be covered by solar panels without needing planning permission. In most cases, as long as the solar panels cover less than 20% of your roof area, you can proceed under permitted development rights. However, this rule can vary slightly depending on the type of building and location, so it’s always best to check with your local council or solar installer to ensure compliance.
What is the Kent solar panel scheme?
The Kent solar panel scheme, often part of a group buying scheme, is a local initiative supported by councils like Medway Council that helps residents purchase and install solar panels at reduced rates. By grouping together multiple households, the scheme allows installers to offer lower prices on quality systems. It typically includes free surveys, fixed quotes, and the option to add battery storage or EV chargers. It’s designed to make renewable energy more affordable and accessible for Kent homeowners.
Are solar panels worth it Martin Lewis?
According to money-saving expert Martin Lewis, solar panels can be worth it—especially if you use a lot of electricity during the day and plan to stay in your home long-term. He notes that with rising energy bills, a well-designed solar PV system can help you save money and even earn from selling surplus electricity back to the grid. While initial costs are high, the long-term savings and environmental benefits often make solar panels a smart investment for many households.
Is it still worth getting solar panels in the UK?
Yes, it’s still worth getting solar panels in the UK. Thanks to falling installation costs, rising electricity bills, and improved solar technology, homeowners can see a return on investment within 6–9 years. Despite the UK’s mixed weather, solar panels still generate power year-round and work efficiently in daylight—not just direct sunlight. When paired with battery storage or EV charging, the savings and energy independence can be even greater, making solar a future-proof solution for UK homes.
