Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a south-facing roof to install solar panels in Leicester?
No. While south-facing roofs generally produce the highest output, east and west-facing roofs can still generate excellent levels of electricity. During our survey, we’ll assess your roof’s orientation, pitch and any shading to design the most efficient solar PV system for your Leicester property.
Can I install solar panels if I live in a Leicester conservation area?
In many cases, yes. Most domestic solar panel installations are permitted development, but additional planning rules may apply if your property is listed or located within a conservation area. Sheffield Renewables can advise you on any local planning requirements before work begins.
Is battery storage worth adding to a solar panel system?
For many homeowners, battery storage is a worthwhile addition. It stores excess electricity generated during the day so you can use it during the evening or at times when solar production is lower, helping reduce your reliance on the National Grid and make better use of the energy your system generates.
How long does a solar panel installation take?
Most domestic solar panel installations are completed within one to two days, depending on the size and complexity of the system. If you’re also having battery storage installed, we’ll explain the expected timescale during your quotation so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you install solar panels on older properties in Leicester?
Yes. We regularly install solar PV systems on both modern and older properties. Before installation, we’ll assess the condition of your roof, available space and structural suitability to ensure the system is safe, efficient and designed to perform reliably for years to come.
Will I still receive electricity if there's a power cut?
Standard grid-connected solar panel systems automatically switch off during a power cut for safety reasons. However, some battery storage systems can be configured with backup power functionality, allowing selected circuits in your home to continue operating during an outage.
Can I expand my solar panel system in the future?
Yes. Many homeowners choose to start with a solar PV system and add battery storage or additional panels later. During your survey, we’ll discuss your future energy plans so we can recommend a system that offers flexibility as your household’s needs change.
