FAQ

Questions worth answering before the project starts.

Solar decisions are easier when the assumptions are clear. These answers cover the questions that tend to matter before a project moves into survey, design and proposal.

The useful answer is often: it depends on the property.

That is not a way of avoiding the question. Solar performance, storage value, installation time and warranties all depend on the actual system and project conditions.

If your question is specific to a property or site, the quote journey is normally more useful than a generic FAQ.

Savings vary with the property, system size, energy usage, tariffs and whether battery storage is part of the setup. Project-specific figures should be based on the information gathered for your property rather than a generic promise.

Not always. A battery can be useful where your generation and usage pattern make storage worthwhile. It should be considered alongside the rest of the system rather than added automatically.

Installation time depends on system size, access, property complexity and any additional works. The expected installation window is confirmed for the individual project before work begins.

Suitability depends on usable roof area, orientation, pitch, shading, structure and condition. A proper assessment is the best way to understand what is practical for the property.

Solar PV panels can still generate electricity in daylight when conditions are cloudy, but output varies with light levels and the system design.

Most standard grid-connected solar systems shut down during a grid outage for safety. Backup operation requires a compatible system specifically designed and installed for that function.

Warranty terms vary by product, component and installation scope. The specific warranties that apply should be set out clearly in the project proposal and handover information.

In many cases a battery can be added later, but compatibility depends on the existing system and equipment. If future storage matters to you, mention it during the initial planning stage.

Yes. EV charging is a smaller supporting part of Eco Solar's work and can be discussed for suitable domestic or commercial projects. The charger options and installation scope are confirmed for the individual job.

Yes. Heat pumps are another supporting service Eco Solar can discuss for suitable domestic or commercial projects. Suitability depends on the building, existing heating system and the individual project, so the appropriate equipment and scope are confirmed after reviewing the job.
