Frequently Asked Questions
Solar panels contain photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight into electricity. This power is generated as direct current (DC) and then transformed into usable alternating current (AC) by an inverter. Any unused energy can be stored in a battery or exported back to the National Grid for a guaranteed return.
Yes, the cost of solar installations has dropped significantly in recent years. A typical 4kW domestic system now costs roughly two-thirds less than in 2010. For more information, contact our solar team at 0808 196 3614 or email: essex@electrofiregroupltd.co.uk.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), introduced in 2020, requires licensed energy providers to offer payment for electricity exported back to the grid. You’ll earn for every excess unit (kWh) your system sends to the National Grid.
Export tariffs typically range from 1p to 5.6p per kWh, replacing the previous Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme, which ended in March 2019. If you installed panels after that date, you’re eligible for SEG instead.
When installed correctly and suited to your energy needs, solar panels can operate efficiently for up to 25 years or more with minimal maintenance required.
No, planning permission is not typically required as solar panel installations are considered permitted development in most areas of England and Wales.
