Frequently asked questions
What is solar energy?
Solar energy is any type of energy that’s generated by the sun. It can then be harnessed directly using solar panels that take the energy and convert it to electricity.
How does solar energy work?
As sun shines onto a solar panel, the sun’s energy is absorbed by the photovoltaic (PV) cells in the panel. The energy from this makes electrical charges that move in response to an internal electrical field within the solar panel’s cell. This then causes electricity to flow for use around your home.
Are solar panels worth it?
If you’re looking towards going green and want to create your own energy to use and save on bills - then yes, absolutely!
How long does it take to install a solar energy system?
After you’ve expressed your interest and spoke to one of our solar experts, we aim to have everything up and running within 6 to 8 weeks*.
*Subject to system size and DNO approval which Effective Home update you on.
Will I need planning permission?
Not for the majority of homes. However, if you live in a listed building, conservation area or a national park, it’s worth checking with your local council and planning office.
How much maintenance is involved?
You don’t need an annual service for your solar panels. But every once in a while, give your panels a hose down to get rid of any dust or dirt.
How long is the warranty?
You’ll get a 25-year warranty on solar panels, a 10-year warranty on batteries and a 10-year warranty on inverters.
