Question 1

What are solar panels?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels are an easy and reliable way to harvest renewable energy. They are made of silicon, one of the most abundant materials on Earth. Today, the majority of solar panels are made with silicon cells that transform sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are surrounded by glass and enclosed into a black frame that protects them and makes them look sleek, modern and handsome!

Question 2

How do solar panels work?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels are one of the most eco-friendly ways to generate electricity. When sunlight hits solar panels, much like a magnifying glass that focuses sunlight, it produces energy that can be used to power your home or office. Solar panels absorb the energy produced by sunlight and convert it into electricity, which can power other electrical loads.

Question 3

Are they worth the investment?

Accepted Answer

The answer to the question of whether solar panels are worth the investment is yes. Solar panel installation is a worthwhile, long-term investment for those wanting to save money and harness energy from the sun. Many homeowners are now seeing the benefits of installing solar panels. Not only will you save money on your energy bills each month, but you can also contribute to a better environment. While the upfront costs are higher than purchasing power from the grid, over the lifetime of your solar system those savings will start to add up and make a real difference.

Question 4

How do I know how many solar panels I will need?

Accepted Answer

The calculation you’ll need to make involves three variables: your household’s hourly energy requirement, the peak sunlight hours for your region, and a panel’s wattage. To determine how many panels you need, multiply your household’s hourly energy requirement by the peak sunlight hours for your region and divide that by a panel’s wattage. The result should be the number of solar panels you need to cover your roof.

Question 5

Do I need planning permission for solar panels?

Accepted Answer

If you’re planning to get solar panels installed at your home or business, you may be wondering if you need planning permission. It depends on where you live and whether your council is a Solar Friendly Council or not. You can check here: www.solarshop.co.uk/planning-permits
