Solar Panel installations in Ross on Wye
Are you looking to reduce your carbon footprint and run your home in a more sustainable way? Well yes, solar panels will allow you to do just that. However not every property is suitable for a solar PV installation. Before any steps are taken, you must ask yourself the following questions:
- Is my roof big enough? Solar panels are deceptively big - 1.65 meters by 1 meter on average to be exact. It’s likely you’ll need around 6 to 12 panels of this size so a big enough roof is essential.
- Which way does your roof face? A South facing roof is ideal however East & West can still work - your electrician will advise you on this in more detail.
- Is my roof shaded? If your roof is shaded heavily, this will impact negatively on your solar panel’s performance. If it’s just a case of cutting back a tree - we may advise this before installing the solar panels.
- Is my roof in good condition? As we mentioned earlier, solar panels are very large. They also weigh a lot! With the average panel coming in at 20 kg. Remember the average system houses anywhere from 6 to 12 panels so your roof must be strong enough to withstand this weight.
Installing solar panels can take a few days, sometimes less. The process is pretty straightforward once everything has been ironed out. It’s expensive but adding solar panels to your home or business should be seen as a long term investment. You will benefit financially from adding solar panels, and of course you’ll be significantly reducing your carbon footprint and reliance on The National Grid. To gain even more benefit from your solar panels you should also consider adding a battery storage system. A battery storage system will allow you to store energy generated from sunlight during the day to use later on in the evening. Otherwise your panels are generating electricity during the day when demand is lower.
