FAQs about home solar panels
Is my home suitable for solar panels?
Many homes are suitable for solar panels, but the best system will depend on your available roof space, roof orientation, shading and household electricity usage. Eco Renewables SW assesses each property individually and designs the solar PV system around the home rather than using a standard one-size-fits-all package.
Do solar panels work on cloudy days in Devon?
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than requiring constant direct sunshine, so they continue producing energy on cloudy days. Generation will naturally be higher during brighter conditions, but solar PV can provide renewable electricity throughout the year in Devon.
Does my roof need to face south for solar panels to work?
No. A south-facing, unshaded roof can provide excellent solar generation, but east- and west-facing roofs can also be suitable. Roof angle, available space, shading and your household’s energy usage all need to be considered when deciding on the best layout for your property.
How many solar panels will I need for my home?
The right number of solar panels depends on your electricity consumption, available roof space and what you want the system to achieve. Eco Renewables SW considers your current energy usage alongside future requirements to recommend a system appropriately sized for your home.
How much could I save by installing solar panels?
Potential savings vary from household to household and depend on factors including the size of your solar system, electricity consumption, when you use electricity and your energy tariff. Using more of the electricity your panels generate within the home can help reduce the amount of power you need to purchase from the grid.
Can I add battery storage to my home solar panels?
Yes. Combining solar panels with solar battery storage allows surplus electricity generated during the day to be stored and used later, such as during the evening or when your panels are producing less energy. This can help you make greater use of the renewable electricity generated by your home.
Can I use my solar panels to charge an electric car?
Yes. Solar PV can work alongside a compatible home EV charger, allowing electricity generated by your panels to contribute towards charging your electric or hybrid vehicle. Solar panels, battery storage and smart EV charging can also be considered together as part of a wider home energy system.
Do I need planning permission to install solar panels on my home?
Many domestic rooftop solar panel installations in England can be completed under permitted development rights, provided certain conditions are met. Different rules can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas and some other properties, so the individual site should always be checked before installation.
Can I get paid for electricity my solar panels export to the grid?
Eligible solar PV owners may be able to receive payments for surplus electricity exported to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Requirements apply, including suitable export metering and evidence that the installation meets recognised standards. Eco Renewables SW is an MCS-certified solar installer, helping ensure installations meet the standards required for schemes such as SEG.
Where does Eco Renewables install home solar panels?
Eco Renewables SW provides residential solar panel installation throughout South Devon and the South Hams, including Kingsbridge, Totnes, Dartmouth, Salcombe, Ivybridge and surrounding towns and villages.
