What are Solar Power Systems Good for?

Traditionally, it was thought that you could only use solar power to replace electricity for things like lights, computers, and some household appliances. This is still the case, but more technology is being developed to enable you to fully power your house – central heating and all – with a suitably sized solar panel and battery setup.

And grid-tied systems let you either rely on solar as a backup, or otherwise run entirely off your solar electricity and use the grid as a backup. On good days, you’ll even be able to sell your surplus electricity back to the grid.

Are There Roofs That May be Unsuitable for Solar?

If you have a pitched roof, you’ll most likely not need to apply for planning permission to add solar panels.

The only instance where you may need to do so is for a flat roof where the panels will need to be stood up with ballast – but this tends to be a relatively niche scenario and doesn’t usually face much pushback from planning authorities if the panels aren’t then shading any adjacent properties.

Solar Installations in Maidstone to Suit Your Budget

The great thing about solar power systems is that it’s not an all-or-nothing investment. You can add to it in the future and upgrade systems as you go. Some forward planning would be highly recommended there though!

But in most instances, planning a suitable power system will be a case of assessing your average energy consumption and figuring out how many panels and batteries will suit your needs.

For a lower budget option, you can even forego batteries altogether and work entirely with a grid-tied hybrid system that powers your home and sells power back to the national grid during daylight hours, and then works from the grid at night.
