Right from the start the approach was professional with clear communication and accurate time lines. A team of 4 handled the installation maintaining a high quality and obvious attention to detail. The commissioning and handover process was very good. All of this was co-ordinated by a project manager who did a great job scheduling and communicating.

We had our first power outage today, after an incident locally which necessitated turning off the grid to over 800 houses! Our Powerwall kicked in exactly as designed, and we were powered by battery and solar throughout the power cut, with absolutely no intervention from us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many solar panels are needed to power a typical house?

It’s estimated that the average one-bedroom house needs six solar panels, while a three-bedroom house needs ten. The number of solar panels you will need to power your home depends on the size of your property. We have installed solar in many home across Kent and will be able to show you examples of the different systems we have designed.

Do solar panels work in winter?

A common myth is that solar panels do not work during winter, but on the contrary, the cold temperature will typically improve solar panel output. The white snow can also reflect light and help improve PV performance. Winter will only hurt solar production if the panels are covered with snow.

How long does a solar panel installation take?

Solar panel installation can take up to two days. A considerable amount of time is spent on constructing scaffolding for the panels, so if you do not require scaffolding, the installation will take less time.

Will the solar and battery system work if I have a power cut?

The back up facility of the Powerwall cuts in almost instantly in the event of a power cut and the Tesla monitoring app provided with the system shows an estimate of how long the house can be supplied based on the current power usage.

Do solar panels work in the rain?

Solar panels will still work even when light is reflected or blocked by clouds. Rain actually helps keep your panels operational by washing away any dust or dirt that may obstruct the PV cells.
