Solar panel FAQs

Should I have roof-mounted or ground-mounted solar panels?
Roof-mounted systems are simpler to install and typically don’t require planning permission. Ground-mounted options are available but may involve more regulation.
Do you need planning permission for commercial solar panels?
Most business premises are exempt, but heritage sites and listed buildings do require permission.

Find out more about planning permission.
How efficient are commercial solar panels?
Most panels convert 15–22% of sunlight into electricity – enough to make a significant impact on energy bills.
What affects solar panel efficiency?
Panels are tested for UK weather and performance. Our panels meet strict manufacturing standards, and our maintenance plans ensure lasting performance.
How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels typically last 25–30 years with many lasting. While efficiency may gradually decline, regular maintenance keeps them operating at their best.
