FAQ

  • How Much Does Solar Installation Cost?
    Solar installation costs can vary widely due to individual circumstances. Factors like the size of your roof, energy needs, and the type of roof tiles you have can all affect the price. Generally, solar panel systems range from £5,500 to £12,500. depending on the size of the project.
    For a typical 4kW solar panel system in the UK, including installation, expect to pay between £6,500 and £8,000. If you add a battery to store excess energy, the total cost rises to £7,800-£9,550. This investment can lead to annual savings of £440 to £1,005 on your electricity bills, on average return on investment would be between 7 to 9 years.
    The 0% VAT scheme, available until 2027, can reduce installation costs by around £1,850 for the average household.
    Several factors influence solar panel costs in the UK, including the system's size, type of panels, installation, additional components, and your location. Adding a solar battery can further reduce your electricity bills by up to 70%.
    Solar panels provide a way to generate free electricity at home. With recent advancements and government incentives like the 0% VAT scheme, solar energy has become more affordable and accessible. If you’re considering making the switch to solar, we can help you get started with an accurate estimate tailored to your needs.
  • What’s the Most Affordable Solar Panel Deal?
    At DCL Renewables, we offer a package of six high-quality panels and installation for just £6,509. Installing fewer than six panels generally won't make a significant impact on your energy bills. To achieve a better return on your investment, we recommend opting for six or more panels.
  • Can I Get Free Solar Panels?
    Yes, you might be eligible for free solar panels through funded options like the ECO4 grant and HUG2 solar panel funding. If you have a very low EPC rating and a household income of less than £31,000, you could qualify. Learn more about your eligibility.
  • Can I Get Financing or an Interest-Free Loan?
    Yes, you can! Many banks now offer Green Loans, which are often interest-free. These affordable loans are designed to promote energy-efficient home improvements. Banks providing 0% or low-cost Green Loans
  • How Solar Panels Work Without Sun

    Solar panels primarily generate electricity using sunlight, but they can still function under certain conditions without direct sunlight. Here's how they manage to produce energy without direct sun exposure

    • Ambient Light

      • Solar panels can generate electricity from ambient light, which includes indirect sunlight and diffuse light from the sky, even on cloudy or overcast days. Although the efficiency is lower compared to direct sunlight, they can still produce a significant amount of energy.

    • Moonlight

      • While moonlight is actually reflected sunlight, it is much less intense than direct sunlight. Solar panels can technically generate a tiny amount of electricity from moonlight, but it is negligible and not practical for real-world energy needs.

    • Energy Storage Systems

      • Most solar energy systems are equipped with batteries or other storage solutions. During the day, excess energy generated by the solar panels is stored in these batteries. This stored energy can then be used during the night or on cloudy days when the solar panels are not producing enough electricity.

  • How Solar Energy Works

    Solar energy works by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells, made from semiconductor materials like silicon, absorb photons from sunlight, exciting electrons and creating an electric field. This movement of electrons generates direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter for use in homes and businesses.

    The AC electricity powers various devices or is fed back into the grid, often through net metering systems, which can provide credits for excess energy produced. Advanced solar energy systems may also include batteries for storing surplus electricity, ensuring a reliable power supply even when sunlight is not available. This clean, renewable energy source helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels and lowers carbon emissions.

  • Power Storage by Solar Panels

    Solar panels are also designed to store power in a battery. This way, even when the sun isn’t out, you can still have power. The batteries are charged during the day and then provide power at night or during a power outage. Solar panels can also provide power during a grid malfunction.
