FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Plymouth's coastal position means it benefits from strong solar irradiance and above-average sunshine hours for the UK — typically around 1,550–1,650 hours per year. Modern solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than direct sunshine alone, meaning your system will produce energy year-round even on overcast Devon days.
In most cases, no. Residential solar installations in Plymouth are covered by permitted development rights and do not require a planning application. Exceptions apply to listed buildings, properties within Plymouth's conservation areas, and some flat-roof or front-of-property installations. We confirm all planning requirements at no cost during your free survey.
Most residential installations in Plymouth are completed in a single day. The full process from initial estimate through to a live, commissioned system typically takes 3–5 weeks, which includes DNO notification and grid connection paperwork — all of which we handle on your behalf.
Yes, and it's particularly valuable for Plymouth homeowners. Many households use the majority of their electricity in the evenings, after solar generation has peaked. Adding battery storage means you can use your own solar energy around the clock rather than exporting it cheaply and buying it back at peak rates. We install Tesla Powerwall, Duracell, SunSynk, Fox, Sigenergy, and Solax batteries.
