Understanding how solar panels work
Understanding the basics of solar installation can help you feel confident in your decision. Solar panels are typically mounted on your roof, positioned to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day - ideally facing south with minimal shading from trees or neighbouring buildings. Before installation, our team will carry out a full roof survey to check its condition, position and structural integrity. On average, a standard residential solar panel weighs between 18 and 25 kilograms so your roof must be able to withstand this amount of weight. A typical system will require around ten panels.
The panels are fixed securely using specialist mounting brackets that don’t damage your roof. Wiring is then connected to an inverter, which converts sunlight into usable electricity for your home. If you choose a battery storage system, this will store excess energy so you can use it later - for example, in the evening when the sun isn’t shining.
Most domestic installations take just one to three days, depending on the size of your system and roof layout.
