Solar questions, answered plainly

Solar energy is electricity generated from sunlight. Solar panels convert light into direct current, and an inverter converts that into the alternating current your appliances and equipment actually use.

Panels on your roof produce electricity while the sun is up. That power flows through an inverter and into your electrical panel, where your property uses it first. Depending on the setup, anything you do not use can be handled by your utility arrangement or by storage, if storage is part of the design.

Most properties can be evaluated for solar, but suitability depends on roof space and condition, shading, orientation and how much electricity you use. A consultation is the only way to answer this properly for your address.

Yes. Residential and commercial requirements differ in load profile, space and system size, so each is planned separately rather than from a template.

There is no single figure that would be honest here. Cost depends on system size, equipment selected, roof type and access, electrical work required and the complexity of the installation. We would rather assess your property and give you a real number than quote an average that does not apply to you.

Mainly your energy usage and the system size that follows from it, plus the equipment chosen, mounting requirements, roof condition and height, wiring distances, and any electrical upgrades needed.

Yes. Submit a request through the consultation form or call us. You will get a ticket number so you can follow the progress of your quotation online.

A properly sized system may help reduce how much electricity you draw from the grid, which is where potential savings come from. The actual effect depends on your consumption pattern, system size and how your utility account works, so we will not promise a fixed percentage before assessing your property.

It depends on system size, roof type and site conditions. Smaller residential systems are usually a much shorter job than commercial installations. You will get an expected duration once the system has been planned for your property.

In broad terms: mounting hardware goes on first, then panels, then the inverter and electrical connections, followed by testing and commissioning. We keep the work area organised and walk you through the finished system.

Yes. A site assessment comes before installation so the design matches the real roof, real shading and real electrical setup rather than assumptions.

Output depends on system size, panel orientation and tilt, shading, weather and the season. Once we know your roof and target consumption we can talk through realistic expectations for your specific system.

Yes, but at reduced output. Panels respond to available light, so heavy cloud cover lowers production compared with clear conditions.

Panels do not generate after dark. Without storage, your property draws from the grid at night. If overnight supply matters to you, mention it during the consultation so it can be considered in the design.

Solar systems need relatively little attention, but they are not maintenance free. Periodic inspection of panels, wiring and mounting hardware helps keep performance and safety consistent.

Dust, leaves and bird droppings reduce output. Gentle rinsing with water is usually enough. Avoid abrasive tools and never work on a roof without proper safety measures. If access is difficult, ask us to handle it.

Your recent electricity bills, an idea of your monthly consumption, the type of property, and any specific goals such as reducing grid dependence or planning for future loads. Photos of your roof are helpful but not required.

It helps, but it is not a requirement. If you are unsure, we can work from your bills and a few questions about how the property is used.

No. A consultation is a conversation about your options. You decide whether to move forward.
