We love our new home solar panels
Almost 1million homeowners have energised their lives with solar PV panels - isn't it time you joined them?
"Save up to £350 on your energy bills, every year! **"
"Recently had Solar fitted, and from day one up until install I am pleased with my experience with Effective Home, I've never experienced a virtual survey before and at first I was curious about it, but it was straight forward with no hassle and want to praise the company for doing a great job! "
""I was worried that I was dealing with an "office" hundreds of miles away from me. As it transpired this was not a problem. The negotiations were formal yet friendly. The idea of having a link person who you can contact easily was a great idea. It didn't always work, particularly when I was trying to get dates settled. Once agreed, the scaffolding and solar panel completion went very well, with great guys doing the work.""
"From start to finish brilliant. From assessor to fitter. We are very happy with the work - excellent service. They said they were going to do it in a day, and they did. They did not get in the way once."
"Above and beyond! The work was done to a high standard. No extra cost, right on the quoted amount. I'm always sceptical about these sort of things, but I'm extremely happy."
"They replaced an external oil fired boiler for us - it was the first time we had used them but we would be willing to use them again as they definitely lived up to our expectations."

FAQs
Do solar panels need maintaining?
A solar panel system needs hardly any maintenance at all – they even self-clean when it rains. A quick washdown with a hose a few times a year will shift any other dirt or dust. Zero expense and no need to call an expert out.
Will I need planning permission for the panels?
No. No red tape, no hassle – a solar panel system doesn’t need any special permission from your local authority to be fitted onto your home.
The only exception to this is if you live in a listed building or live in a designated Conservation Area or World Heritage site. Even then, you can still have solar panels installed – they need fitting onto a roof that isn’t visible from a road.
What happens if it’s not sunny?
There’s a big difference between sunlight and daylight. Solar panels need daylight to generate power – not the sun’s rays.
This means you can still generate power even on cloudy days. In fact, less direct sunlight can be beneficial – too much heat can reduce the power solar panels capture by up to 25%.
