Solar Panel Specialists York

Decided now is the time to add solar panels to your home or business in York? It’s a great decision - not only will you reduce your energy bills, but also be doing your part to combat climate change. Running your home on clean, green energy is one of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint - something we’re all eager to do as society and for good reason! But, this doesn't take away from the fact that adding solar panels to your property is a big investment. Just like any other big purchase or project, it’s vitally important you do your research beforehand.

Hiring a solar panel specialist is definitely the way to go. Today, many electricians now offer solar services, from solar panels to battery storage. Any electrician appearing to offer these services will of course have completed all the relevant courses and exams - assuming they do things by the book of course. However, just because the electrician is qualified to install these systems doesn’t necessarily mean they’re a specialist. A solar panel specialist will have:

• A vast portfolio of past work.
• Several customer testimonials following successful solar panels installations. 
• Many years experience in both the electrical and renewable energy industry. 
• An MCS accreditation.
• The knowledge to not only install solar panels, but also:
  -    Add battery storage.
  -    Troubleshoot faults.
  -    Maintain the system when required. 
  -    Provide tailored solutions.

While maintenance for solar panels is kept to a minimum, at some point you may run into an issue with the system or require panel cleaning - a solar panel specialist can also assist you with these.

Solar panel installations - what do you need to know?

As we mentioned earlier, when it comes to solar panel installations it’s super important you do your research. Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know about solar panel installations.

Property suitability

Not all properties will be suitable for solar panels. Ideally your property should:

• Be south facing. 
• Have a well maintained, strong roof. 
• Be free from shade and surrounding obstructions. 
• Have a decent sized loft. 
• Have standard roof tiles.

Now if you’re struggling to tick some of these requirements off - don’t worry. This is just an ideal checklist. Many adjustments can be made to make your home suitable for solar panels such as installing the inverter and battery in your garage rather than a loft. Here at DP Electrical Specialists we’ve added solar panels to many different homes, and we’ve made many adjustments to make a home suitable. When you first get in touch with us, we’ll arrange to visit your home and determine what, if any adjustments do need to be made before we go any further. There’s literally nothing you need to do or worry about us, other than giving us a call!

Planning

After we’ve assessed your property, made any adjustments and talked to you about your specific needs we’ll then begin planning. This will include things like the size of the system, whether you plan on adding battery storage and where we’ll place the inverter and battery. Once you’ve reviewed our plan and given us the green light, we’ll then organise for scaffolding to be erected and get you booked in for installation.

Solar Panel Installation day

The big day has arrived! Solar panel installations are typically completed within a few days but this timeframe can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. Once everything has been installed, it’ll be fully tested and the works will be certified. Following a successful completion, we’ll continue to stay in touch just in case any teething problems arise.

…and that's a wrap! You’ll now be running your home or business on clean, green energy - a win for you and the environment. Ready to go green? Get in touch with DP Electrical Specialists today - your local solar panel installers based in York.
