Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on solar PV (photovoltaic) and battery storage cover a range of topics, from how the technology works to practical considerations for installation. Here are some common FAQs and their answers:

Solar PV stands for photovoltaic, a technology that converts sunlight into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels contain solar cells that generate electrical current when exposed to sunlight.


The cost of a solar PV system can vary based on factors like system size, location, equipment quality, and installation costs. It's best to get a quote from SOLEC for a quote.


The size of the system you need depends on your energy consumption, location, and available roof space. Here at SOLEC we can help determine the right size for your needs.


Government incentive schemes often change criteria offering tax reductions, rebates, and feed-in tariffs to promote solar adoption. Check with local authorities or government websites for what incentives are available today or speak with us.


Following the closure of the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme to new applicants in March 2019, the government recognised the need to pay small-scale renewable energy generators for the electricity they export to the grid. Consequently, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) introduced the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).


Under the scheme, all licenced energy companies with 150,000 or more customers must provide at least one SEG tariff. Smaller suppliers can offer a tariff if they want to on a voluntary basis. All suppliers can also choose to offer other means of making payments for exported electricity, separate to the SEG arrangements (see ‘Alternative finance arrangements’ below).


If you already receive a FIT on your installation, this is unaffected by the introduction of the SEG.

Solar panels can generate electricity on cloudy days, but their efficiency is reduced. They work best in direct sunlight, but they continue to produce some power in diffused or indirect light.


Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25years or more. Most manufacturers offer warranties that guarantee a certain level of performance over a specified period.


Battery storage systems store excess electricity generated by your solar panels for use at night or during power outages. They increase self-consumption of solar energy and enhance energy security.


Yes, common battery chemistries for home storage systems include lithium-ion, lead-acid, and more. Lithium-ion batteries are popular due to their high energy density, efficiency, and long cycle life.


The ideal battery size depends on your energy needs, how much of your electricity usage you want to offset, and budget. Our team can help you size the battery appropriately.


Solar panels typically require minimal maintenance, while batteries may need periodic checks and possible replacement after a certain number of cycles (Usually 6,000). Cleaning panels and monitoring performance is advised.


Going off-grid is possible with the right system and enough battery capacity, but it's a more complex and costly solution compared to grid-tied systems. Careful planning and an energy backup plan are essential.


These FAQs provide an overview of some common questions related to solar PV and battery storage. The answers may vary depending on the specific circumstances and technology in use. Consulting with us is often the best way to get tailored advice and information. Call Today on 01642 041 847
