Solar Panel FAQs

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. When sunlight hits these cells, they generate direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity by an inverter for use in the home, to be stored in a battery or exported to the grid.

What are the key benefits of installing solar panels

The main benefits from the installation of solar panels include more energy independence, reduced electricity bills and a lower carbon footprint. Lastly, installing solar panels can increase the value of your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers and providing a solid return on investment.

Are solar panels suitable for every home?

Solar panels can be installed on most homes with suitable roof space and sun exposure. Factors such as roof orientation, shading from trees or nearby buildings, and local regulations may affect the feasibility and efficiency of solar panel installations.

Does Durham receive enough sunlight for solar panels?

Durham enjoys around 1,525 hours of sunshine annually, making it an excellent location for solar energy generation. This consistent sunlight provides ample opportunity for solar panels to capture and convert energy efficiently, ensuring that homeowners can maximise their solar investment.

How much can I save on my energy bills with solar panels?

Homeowners in Durham can save between £200 to £400 annually on their energy bills, depending on their energy usage and the size of their solar panel system. Over the lifespan of the solar panels, these savings can add up significantly, providing a substantial return on investment and long-term financial benefits.

How do solar panels help in reducing carbon emissions?

By generating clean, renewable energy, solar panels reduce reliance on fossil fuels, thereby decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. On average, a standard home solar system can save approximately 1.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, contributing significantly to reducing your carbon footprint and promoting a more sustainable environment.

Can solar panels work during Durham's cloudy days?
