Welcome to a brighter and more sustainable future for your home! In 2023, an increasing number of households—averaging 17,000 each month—chose to harness the power of the sun by installing solar panels. This trend was fuelled by a trifecta of compelling reasons: the ever-growing cost of electricity, the increased affordability of solar panels, and a shared commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
Homeowners who invest in Residential Solar PV Power Systems for their properties experience a range of benefits, including decreased energy costs, a reduction in carbon emissions, and an appreciable increase in property value.

The photovoltaic effect is what’s known as a thermodynamic process. Solar panels directly convert sunlight into electricity and are formed of photovoltaic cells, which are usually made of silicon. When sunlight strikes the cells, the photons from the sunlight are absorbed by the atoms in the silicon material. This absorption excites electrons in the silicon, causing them to move and create an electric current. The electric current is then captured and can be used to power electrical devices or sent to the grid for distribution.
The cost of solar panels can vary significantly depending on factors such as the size of the system and your specific energy requirements. For a more accurate estimate tailored to your needs, we recommend completing our quick remote survey to receive detailed pricing information.
The cost of solar panels depends on your energy usage and roof space. A typical 4kW system, consisting of 10-16 panels, is usually the most cost-effective option for homes. Commercial properties, with higher energy needs and more roof space, generally require more panels. Smaller businesses might need a few dozen panels, while larger operations could need significantly more. To get an accurate, no-obligation quote tailored to your needs, complete our free survey.
UPS Solar panels typically last 25-30 years, retaining at least 80% of their power output. With good quality, favorable conditions, and proper maintenance, their lifespan can be even longer. UPS Solar offers a 25-year manufacturer warranty and a 25-year performance guarantee to protect your investment.
The energy a solar panel system produces depends on its size, panel efficiency, and sunlight exposure. In the UK, a 4kW system typically generates 3,400 to 4,200 kWh annually, enough to cover an average household’s electricity needs. Actual output can vary based on installation conditions and weather. For a precise estimate, request a free quote survey.
South-facing roofs (south-east, south, south-west) are the most efficient for solar panels, but flat roofs and ground-mounted systems are also viable. It’s crucial that the installation area has minimal shading and gets sunlight most of the day. For a detailed assessment of your home’s solar suitability and options, request a free quote survey.
Solar panel batteries are used for storing the electricity from solar panels, which get the energy from the sun directly. Solar panel batteries can be used to give power to your house or your workplace in the form of electricity, when the weather is cloudier, or at night. Some of them can be used as well to charge by charging electric cars, which increases their usefulness and is practical.
Cleaning your solar panels regularly maximises their efficiency by ensuring they absorb the most sunlight. Dust, dirt, and bird droppings can reduce their effectiveness. Panels typically need cleaning once a week. In dry areas, manual cleaning is required, while in rainier regions, natural cleaning is often sufficient.
Battery storage maximises the benefits of commercial solar panels by storing excess energy for use during peak times, at night, or on cloudy days. This boosts energy independence, reduces reliance on the grid, and lowers costs by avoiding peak utility rates. Additionally, battery storage provides backup power during outages, ensuring continuous operations.
Yes, solar panels generate electricity in cloudy weather, though less efficiently than on sunny days. They use daylight to produce energy, so even on overcast days, they can generate 10% to 25% of their full capacity. Solar panels remain effective in regions with varying weather.
