“Fantastic job done and excellent at saving us money!” — Mrs Hernan

At Channel Park, the customer was driven by a desire to live more sustainably. We installed a 5-panel, 2.2kW solar PV system on the east-facing roof, strategically chosen to capture maximum morning sunlight. The goal was to deliver meaningful energy savings from a compact, efficient system.

— Mr. Williams

“Simple Solar were great from start to finish, I was given plenty of options and they really listened to what I wanted. The install was done well and left tidy, and they even replaced some existing damaged slates on my roof. I was shown how to set-up the batteries and change any options as I needed. All in all I am very impressed with the whole process and can’t recommend them enough.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about switching to solar energy, clear and simple.

Is my house suitable for solar panels?

Most homes are. We check roof direction, shade, roof condition, and available space. If solar isn’t a good fit, we’ll tell you honestly, no bush gets beaten.

How much do solar panels cost and how long is payback?

Cost depends on system size and whether you add a battery. Your quote will show expected savings, SEG export income, and estimated payback tailored to your usage.

Does solar reduce the value of my property?

Actually the opposite — buyers like homes with lower running costs. A well-installed system could be a selling point.

Do solar panels work in the UK climate?

Yes. Panels generate from daylight, not just direct sun, and cooler temperatures can help efficiency.

What happens if I generate more than I use?

Excess power is exported to the grid and you can be paid via SEG. Rates vary by supplier.

How long do solar panels last?

Quality panels are built for decades. Systems often come with 25+ year performance warranties.

Do you offer battery storage?

Yes. Batteries let you use more solar in the evenings. Options include Tesla Powerwall 3, Fox range, SUNPOWER, and others.

How long does installation take?

Typically 1–3 days depending on system size and complexity.

What maintenance is needed?

Very little. Rain usually keeps panels clean. Occasional visual checks are recommended.
