Solar panels are an eco-friendly technology using the sun’s energy to generate electricity. They comprise small cells made of a special material called silicon. When sunlight shines on these cells, it creates an electric current that is then utilised to power your business or home.
A solar PV system usually consists of multiple panels, and each panel can produce about 250W-400W of energy when the sunlight is strong. An inverter is installed as the system’s component to convert the electricity from the panels into a form your appliances can use.

In most cases, solar PV installations on homes can be done without getting permission from the local authority. This is because they are usually considered ‘permitted development’ under the law. However, there are some exceptions.
You must obtain planning permission to install solar panels on a flat roof; panels must be bent at least 0.2 metres further from the roof slope to receive sufficient sunlight, and doing so breaks the permitted development rule, which says that the system cannot extend more than 0.2 metres above the plane of the roof slope.
Other than the flat roofs, a listed building or monument cannot have solar panels installed on it without obtaining both listed buildings and planning permission. These types of properties have additional regulations and restrictions in place.

Solar Solutions Oxford has been in the field of renewable energy for years and has been regularly completing all sorts of solar system installations throughout the UK. Our solar power installation process is simple and usually completed through the following steps:
To calculate the number of solar panels required, multiply your home's hourly energy needs by the peak sunlight hours and divide that by the wattage of a single panel.
You can get help from any online calculator or discuss with our team to define the precise number. Remember that factors such as roof size, sunlight exposure, and orientation will also impact this calculation.
Typically, solar panels are put in place on a rail system that is properly secured to the roof. Our solar PV systems are planned to sustain the integrity and strength of your roof while ensuring it remains watertight.
Yes, you can add a battery to your solar panel system. Integrating a battery allows you to store the excessive energy produced during the day and utilise it at your convenience. This enhances your home's self-sufficiency and allows for potential cost savings.
Solar Solutions Oxford is an independent company installing all kinds of solar panels from all brands.
We can accommodate your preferences or specific manufacturer requests and provide advice on similar panels or equivalent systems for your solar energy installation.
