Solar Panel Installation

Solar panels are one of the best innovations of the 21^st century. They not only help to reduce our energy bills, but also help our homes and businesses look more modern from the outside.

We have been fitting the best solar panels for years now. From cottage roofs to high-rise commercial buildings, we know our stuff when it comes to solar panels. By partnering with the best solar panel providers, and fitting them properly, we guarantee quality every time.

But before you commit to investing in solar power, it’s important to know what they’re for, and how they work.

The Importance of Solar Panels

Our top-notch solar panel installations help you harness the power of the sun while reducing your carbon footprint. For any business who is concerned about their environmental impact, installing solar panels is a step in the right direction.

In our homes, using solar panels can lead to significant cost savings. By generating your own electricity, you can reduce your monthly utility bills and even earn credits through net metering programs. The UK government is strongly encouraging solar panel installation too; they offer incentives and financing options to make them more affordable than ever.

If you are concerned about how much solar panels cost, remember that they save you money in the long run, and thanks to these incentives are often cheaper than they look at first glance.

How do Solar Panels Work?

Solar panels contain PV cells. These absorb heat from sunlight, using the natural energy to create electricity. This energy is then channelled through the building via a meter. Even on cloudy days they work well, and don’t need to be in direct sunlight all the time.

Once your solar panels are fitted, there’s nothing else you need to do. Your meter will supply any free energy your panels gather and switch you back to the main grid whenever needed.

It’s a relatively simple process, but the results speak for themselves. However, the building they’re fitted to is a major factor that affects their performance.

How Many Solar Panels do I need?

The number of solar panels your home or business needs depends on the following:

Your energy consumption
Climate
Location
Solar panel quality
How much space you have to work with

Of these, the latter is the most important. Naturally, the more space you have to fit solar panels, the more you can use. If you only have a small roof or have skylights and chimneys that take up a lot of room, you might only have space for a few.

No matter how many you use, you’ll always see savings on your bills, but a building with high energy consumption can’t rely entirely on its solar panels. Consider them a bonus, not a replacement.

Cheaper solar panels take up the same amount of room as the most expensive, so choosing quantity over quality isn’t always an option either.

To help you decide what’s best for your home or commercial building, we’ll meet with you to assess your roof and establish your goals. We then recommend the best solar panels, and if they are right for you, we’ll get to work setting them up.

How long do Solar Panels last?

If fitted correctly, your solar panels will work well for 25 years or more. That’s a quarter of a century of sustainable savings!

For many people, their home is an investment. When it’s time to sell, having solar panels fitted is a major feature you can show off. Sustainability is on everyone’s mind these days, so having an eco-friendly home to sell will make it much easier to get the right price.

However, you can only get the most out of your solar panels if you look after them.

How to Clean Solar Panels

Most solar panels are self-cleaning. However, if the panels titled less than 5 degrees, or the air around them has been particularly dusty, they may lose some efficiency due to the surface being coated with dirt or grime.

Cleaning solar panels should be left to the professionals. If you’ve noticed a drop in power from yours, it may also be because of a fault. If the latter is the case, you shouldn’t touch or try to adjust them yourself, give us a call instead and we’ll find out what the issue is and either give them a clean, or organise a repair.

After several attempts to find a roofer we came across Daniel Scott via a neighbour. We were very glad we did, Daniel and his team were excellent. We employed Daniel to re-roof my 93 year old's mother-in-laws roof. He and his team were very methodical and tidy and got the job done in next to no time and through some challenging cold weather (heavy morning frost). We would like to thank him and his team for a job well done.

Our roof was replaced in July 19. The lads were friendly, courtious and helpful at all times. They left us tidy each day and overall did an excellent job. Communication with Daniel was always very good with him visiting us regularly. Highly recommended.

We had Dan and his team to repair a significant leak that was coming straight through the roof and into the kitchen. They were professional, polite, remained on schedule, and even patched up a few extra bits for us along the way. Two months on, we have had no leaks, despite the terrible weather! They would definitely be our first contact if we need any work on the roof in future.

Daniel Scott Roofing have just finished doing a full clay tile re-roof for us (5 bed detached house, so big job), also including Velux skylight replacements, chimney repairs & gutter replacements. Am so pleased with the results! The workmanship & quality is superb; Dan could not have been more helpful, from discussing tiles & recommending materials to breaking down costs in detail so we knew exactly what we were paying for. Communication was great - we knew what to expect, and timescales. Everything was tidied & left in a neat state each day. Would highly recommend.
