Frequently Asked Questions
No. South facing roofs can be ideal, but east and west facing roofs can also work very well. The best setup depends on usable roof space, shading, and when you use electricity.
In many cases, yes. Heat pump systems usually require a compatible hot water cylinder as part of the overall system design.
Yes, you can install an EV charger at home, most commonly a Level 2 charger. Requirements include having a dedicated 240-volt circuit, sufficient electrical capacity in your home’s service panel, and compliance with local electrical codes and regulations. It’s recommended to hire a licensed electrician to ensure proper installation and safety. Additionally, you may want to consider the location of the charger for convenient access to your vehicle.
In most cases, yes. Older properties with natural slate roofs require more care during installation, and any property within Torquay’s conservation areas needs a planning position check before installation. We assess the roof type, covering condition, and planning status as part of every survey. Listed buildings require listed building consent rather than just permitted development rights.
The solar panels produce DC (Direct Current) energy which feeds into an inverter, The inverters job is to change that energy from DC to AC (Alternating Current) which we use in our homes then it will distribute this to your house loads in real time. If you are producing more energy than your house is using at that moment the excess will naturally export to the grid (the part you can get paid for) Alternatively if you have battery storage your excess energy will divert into the battery charging this up. If your battery becomes fully charged, then the system will return to export excess energy to the grid. In the event you are using more energy in your home then you are producing from your panels then the extra power will be supplemented from your battery (if you have one) or via the grid as usual. You system will always prioritise the solar and batteries to supply you power before calling on the grid.
This depends on your supplier and tariff, some pay monthly, others quarterly. Your supplier will confirm payment terms when you sign up.
