Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve answered some of the most common questions UK homeowners ask about residential solar.
Do solar panels work during power cuts?

A standard on-grid system shuts down for safety during an outage. However, a hybrid system with battery storage can provide backup power to keep essential appliances running.

How quickly will my investment pay back?

The payback period typically ranges from 6–10 years, depending on system size, household energy use, and SEG income.

Can I add a battery later if I start with just panels?

Yes. Many homeowners start with a panel-only system and add a solar battery later to store energy for night-time use.

Will I need planning permission to install solar panels?

In most cases, solar panels are classed as permitted development in the UK, so no planning permission is required. Exceptions may apply in conservation areas or listed buildings.

How long do solar panels last?

Most solar panels last 25–30 years, with performance warranties guaranteeing at least 80% efficiency after 25 years.

Are there finance options available?

Yes. Through Phoenix Financial Consultants, you can spread the cost of your system with flexible monthly payments.

What maintenance is required?

Solar panels need very little maintenance. Occasional cleaning and annual system checks are usually enough to keep your system performing at its best.

How long does installation take?

Most residential solar installations are completed within 1–3 days, depending on system size and property type.

Will installing solar increase my property value?

Yes. Homes with solar PV are often more attractive to buyers, as they come with lower running costs and sustainable energy.

Do solar panels work in the Ireland climate?

Yes. Solar panels don’t need direct sunshine; they generate electricity even on cloudy days. The Ireland has plenty of daylight hours to make solar worthwhile.
