Solar PV

With our expert installation services and high-quality solar panels, you can save money on your electricity bills while also helping the planet.

How do Solar Panels work?

Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells.

These cells are made of silicon and other materials that can generate an electric current when exposed to sunlight.

The solar panel system generates electricity during the day, which is then stored in a battery or fed back into the grid. At night, the stored energy is used to power your home.

How much money could solar panels save you?

The potential savings from solar panels depend on various factors, such as the size of your solar panel system, the amount of sunlight your home receives, and your energy consumption.

However, on average, solar panels can save homeowners thousands of pounds over their lifetime. By using solar panels, you can reduce or eliminate your dependence on grid power, which means lower electricity bills and potential earnings from the government’s Feed-in Tariff (FIT) and Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).

Frequently asked questions

Does my roof need to be south facing to install solar panels?

No, your roof does not necessarily need to be south facing to install solar panels. Solar panels can generate electricity even when they are not facing directly south. However, the orientation of the panels will affect their efficiency, with south-facing panels typically providing the highest yield. At Heron Electrical, we can provide a free consultation to determine the optimal placement of solar panels on your roof.

How much roof space do I need for solar panels?

The amount of roof space required for a solar panel system will depend on several factors, including the size of the system and the efficiency of the panels. As a general rule, a typical solar panel system for a home will require between 8 and 20 panels, which can range in size from 1.6 to 2 square meters each. At Heron Electrical, we can provide a free consultation to determine the optimal size and placement of solar panels for your specific needs and circumstances.

Do solar panels work all year round?

Yes, solar panels can generate electricity all year round, even during cloudy and overcast conditions. While the efficiency of the panels may be reduced during periods of low sunlight, the panels can still generate a significant amount of electricity. Additionally, excess electricity generated during periods of high sunlight can be stored in batteries for later use.

How long do the solar panels last?

The lifespan of solar panels can vary depending on several factors, such as the quality of the installation and the level of maintenance they receive. However, most solar panels are designed to last for at least 25 years or more. At Heron Electrical, we only use high-quality, tier 1 solar panels that are designed to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting performance.

Where can my solar battery system be installed?

Solar battery systems can be installed both indoors and outdoors, depending on your specific needs and circumstances. At Heron Electrical, we can provide a free consultation to determine the optimal location for your solar battery system, taking into account factors such as available space, access, and ventilation.

How much electricity does an average solar panel system produce?

The amount of electricity a solar panel system can produce will depend on several factors, such as the size and efficiency of the panels, the orientation of the panels, and the amount of sunlight received. As a rough guide, a typical solar panel system for a home can generate between 3,000 and 4,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. At Heron Electrical, we can provide a free consultation to determine the optimal size and placement of solar panels for your specific energy needs.

If you’re ready to take the first step in reducing your carbon footprint and saving money on your electricity bills, contact Heron Electrical today. Our team of experts is here to help you every step of the way, from initial consultation to final installation. Don’t wait any longer to start enjoying the benefits of solar panels for your home.

Can I add solar batteries to an existing solar system?

Yes, it is possible to add solar batteries to an existing solar system. Solar batteries can store excess electricity generated by the panels during periods of high sunlight, which can then be used to power your home during periods of low sunlight. At Heron Electrical, we can provide a free consultation to determine the best solar battery solution for your specific needs and circumstances.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We chose a Heron PV/battery installation following a poor customer service experience with Octopus. Heron were a breath of fresh air.... any queries answered in minutes. When the installation was undertaken the workmanship was excellent and the after-sales help was spot-on.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole process from initial enquiry to completion was handled very efficiently by the team at Wetherby. Booked dates for the process were adhered to. Karl and Jo did the work over 2 days and all went to plan. They worked very well together and there was no disruption to our routine. I would thoroughly recommend Heron Electrical to anyone contemplating solar panels and associated kit.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a 10 kw solar panel system fitted with a Tesla PW3 and Zappi charger. The team completed my install in 2 days as scheduled. They were all fantastic and knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I had no issues with the install which was very clean and tidy install and the system has been working perfectly. I would definatley recommend them when getting a solar install. They very helpfully came out prior to the install upon request and talked through helpfully the cable run so that I could prepare and clear out the area they needed as my meter tails are under my stairs in the middle of the house. This was very helpful and didn't mean a mad dash last minute. During the install the team was very helpful in communicating when the power would go off which was needed give we work from home and they did so for a short period of 30/45 minutes. My install was at the beginning of February so that I could see how it worked for a period before I gave a honest review as I knew how helpful this was for me when going through the process. I went through EGG Cracking Energy for the equipment and pre install arrangement who outsourced to Heron, which I was worried due to Internet concerns of outsourced work, however I had a very good experience which I'm grateful for. Thank you to Kieran and the team who were fantastic and I have no hesitation in giving them 5* rating.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with Tom and Alex for my electrical and solar installation! Tom was fantastic with the electrical work, handling everything with precision and care. He made sure everything was up to code and explained the process thoroughly. Alex, who took care of the solar installation, was equally impressive. He was highly skilled and ensured my solar system was set up for maximum efficiency. Both were incredibly professional, punctual, and friendly. The whole process was smooth, and I’m already seeing the benefits of my new setup. I highly recommend Tom and Alex for any electrical or solar needs!
