FAQ FOR SOLAR PANELS INCLUDING ARE SOLAR PANELS WORTH IT?

Solar Panel Installations can help you reduce your energy costs and become less dependant upon the grid.  You can also sell any surplus energy back to the grid, thus providing an additional financial benefit.

The number of Panels you require will depend on the size of your roof or land area, it will also depend on your energy consumption.

As Energy prices currently fluctuate, it is difficult to know what to do.  At Lectec Ltd we are here to help you move forward and to try to assist you in reducing your Energy Bills with the installation of Solar Panels and possibly Battery Storage. 

Solar panel efficiency depends on the materials and design. Monocrystalline panels are the most efficient because they capture more sunlight and generate more power. Choosing a high-efficiency panel means you can produce more electricity using less space.

Searching for the right Solar PV Installer can be a minefield.  At Lectec Ltd we understand this and want to make the process as stress free as possible.  We are there to help you through the whole process.   We recommend you use an MCS Accredited Installer, at Lectec Ltd we have this Accreditation.

Solar panels work during daylight, even when it's cloudy or overcast, as they use light, not heat, to generate energy. They don't need direct sunlight, although they'll produce the most electricity when it's sunny.  

Solar panels allow households and businesses to generate their own electricity, which reduces their dependence on grid electricity. This can lead to substantial savings on energy bills.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) allows solar panel owners to sell excess electricity back to the grid. This provides an additional income stream and further offsets energy costs.   To qualify for the SEG utility providers will require a copy of your MCS Certificate.  This is something that can only be provided by an MCS Installer.  Lectec Ltd are Accredited with MCS and can therefore provide you with this Certification.

The UK government supports the adoption of renewable energy through various incentives and grants. These can reduce the initial installation costs of solar panels, making solar energy a more attractive investment.  Contact us to find out what current incentives there are in place.

 By switching to solar energy, households and businesses contribute to reducing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, promoting a cleaner and more sustainable environment. 

Some people may feel that Solar Panels visually unappealing or detract from the aesthetics of their homes or buildings.  However Solar Panels have developed over time and have become sleeker in design.  There is also the option to have built in panels, thus looking as though they are part of the roof.

Solar power is a renewable energy source that uses sunlight to create electricity.  Solar panels, often placed on roofs or in open spaces, capture sunlight and turn it into usable energy for homes and businesses.  

In the UK, solar power works even on cloudy days and is a great way to lower electricity bills and reduce your carbon footprint while supporting clean, sustainable energy.
