20+ Years Experience
Specialist Solar Panel Company
Solar panel installation in Taverham has become increasingly popular over the years, with both residential and commercial solar panels taking up a major spot in Taverham energy generation statistics. For many people, installing solar panels on their own homes or property is an idea they like but do not really know anything about.
More effective and far cheaper than they used to be, solar PV systems are incredibly popular for a reason, and more people are adopting them every week. But why is installing solar panels a good idea, and how can you get hold of a solar panel installer that can help you lower your energy bills?
We are a team of dedicated solar PV system experts with a deep understanding of photovoltaic systems, creating bespoke solar panel systems for each of our clients. If you want to know more about what we offer, get in touch today, or keep reading for more.
We are accredited solar installers in Taverham with a range of certifications and happy customers backing up our work. As one of the best solar panel installer groups in the country, we know how to install entire solar PV systems to a high standard of quality.
With over 10 years of experience as solar panel installers, we have managed to build strong connections with local suppliers of renewable energy technologies. We can keep our prices lower than average while ensuring that each client gets the exact solar PV system they are looking for, designed bespoke for their needs.
Photovoltaic (PV) panels work using an array of solar cells, with can convert sunlight into AC energy. This AC electricity is then converted into DC electricity, the same kind that we use to power our homes.
Solar PV panels each generate energy based on how much sunlight is hitting them, meaning that we – as professional solar installers in Taverham – need to understand where they’are best placed. The more sun a panel can get, the more power it will generate.
There are many different types of solar PV systems on the market, but we can boil down solar panels in Norfolk into three distinct types.
Monocrystalline panels use thin silicon wafers and are the most expensive option offered by most solar companies. However, they have the longest lifespan and create the most energy on average, making them an effective source of renewable energy.
Polycrystalline panels are more affordable and waste less silicon, but drop their efficiency rating quite dramatically. They also boast a shorter lifespan, making them less energy-efficient in the long term but more cost-efficient as a whole.
Thin film solar panels are much less efficient but are very cheap and can be installed onto almost any surface. This makes them a very effective PV system in terms of cost, but they also produce the least energy overall out of any major solar panel system.
In terms of your home, Taverham solar installers only care about one major thing – the roof angle. Solar panels generate more energy on direct exposure to sunlight, but how much energy depends on both the amount of light it gets and how long the sun is shining on it.
Most solar companies, us included, want to set up panels in places where they will get sunlight throughout the day. Before you can get solar panels installed, we can take a look at your property to find roof areas that might work best or identify roof areas that would not.
The three kinds of panels mentioned above are all great, but for different purposes.
Monocrystalline is the most powerful but cost the most, making it ideal for pure energy generation.
Polycrystalline is a middle-ground option, making it a common choice for people dipping into green energy without wanting to spend too much.
Thin film is incredibly flexible and can be placed on any part of a roof – even curving around curved roof areas or placed in roof corners. It is also incredibly cheap compared to the other options but generates the least energy.
Some people in Taverham will prefer to pay more for higher energy generation, while others will want cheaper options offering less energy. Thin film is best for roof areas that don’t suit other panels since they can bend and flex on a roof much more, allowing them to fit onto almost any roof spot.
The price of solar panel systems in Taverham depends entirely on what you are choosing to get.
On the market’s overall ‘menu’, solar panels (as a complete system) cost around £2,900 and £6,700 on average. For example, a two-panel system for a three-bedroom house will generally require around £5,500.
We can offer free solar quotes before installation planning even begins. Contact us if you want to compare quotes for a new system.
Solar systems can be installed in a range of locations. As professional installers, we know how to adapt each project to suit your property or building.
Commercial installation is fairly straightforward. We can design a system that is ready for installation into your commercial business or office, including larger battery storage options to ensure that your business has extra power even after the sun goes down.
We can set up domestic panels for Taverham homeowners with ease. These installations are quick and simple, requiring basic installing work and power testing on a smaller scale. Residential customers can enjoy easy roof installation at the best prices we can offer.
We can be the professional installer for solar systems in:
And many, many more locations, whether it is for independent homeowners or entire companies.
Our installation process is fairly straightforward. As professional installers, we take our work very seriously. Installation of a new system involves the following steps:
We can also perform maintenance for customers who need it much later on – nobody understands the systems we construct better than our own experts do.
There are many benefits to using solar PV systems in Taverham, some of which are far more obvious than others.
Creating your own free energy through solar PV systems naturally means that you are paying less for energy bills.
Solar energy is completely natural, apart from the panel itself. This means that you are effectively making energy from nothing, contributing nothing to your carbon footprint.
With our help, the installation experience can be incredibly easy and quick. We can get your system up and running in a matter of days, or sometimes even hours, if you only need a basic system.
Renewable energy ensures that your battery storage will always be full and that you do not have to keep burning up a limited resource just to power your home. This also frees you from relying on any company to keep giving you more fuel.
There can always be disadvantages with these solar systems in Taverham, but we do our best to minimise the issues.
The initial price of these panels can be a little high at first, although the money saved on energy bills quickly pays for the panels anyway.
Solar systems rely on good Taverham weather, so they can be unreliable in bad weather conditions. Even so, saving power in a battery can counteract this, and solar still works in dim or slightly cloudy weather.
Even smaller systems can take up space, meaning that you need to set aside some room for them. While roof space might not matter, you might put the inverter and batteries indoors, as they need to be kept safe.
Heat pumps provide heat directly, whereas solar provides energy. This means that solar can be the more flexible option, especially for a business that might not need heat in every part of their property.
Generators are powerful but costly to run. The price of a solar power installer service may even turn out to be less than a month of fuel would be. Pollution is also a concern with generators.
Regular sources of electricity are still useful, but solar is always a better idea if you can manage it. The savings alone are worth it to any business.
Wind turbines are impossible to set up on any small scale, making them impractical for all but the largest businesses or operations. Even then, they are nosy, loud, and hard for a business to maintain.
Like generators, these are expensive to run and produce pollution. That can be reason enough to move to solar options in Taverham instead.
Solar systems use solar cells and photovoltaic cells, including a lot of silicon. The exact contents of each unit depend on the design.
Panels can generate energy, either to power individual things (like lights) or contribute to your own home energy grid. You can also sell surplus energy to the national grid for profit.
Solar systems only need planning permission if they alter how your building looks or take up a lot of space. Planning permission also applies to listed buildings and conservation areas.
Our expert installer teams can have a unit ready on your home or business property within about two days on average. Of course, this depends on the scale of the project.
The price of replacing components in a Taverham unit is about £100 a year, but that really only happens once every few years – some systems go for a decade without needing repairs.
This means that you generally do not need to even think about repairing a panel, and occasional maintenance work is extremely cheap in most cases.
In Taverham, these systems need to:
There are a lot of other standards, but we can go over them as needed during the job.
