Help and answers

Frequently
asked
questions

How much do solar panels cost and how long to pay back?

Costs vary by system size, starting from around £5,000 for smaller homes. Most customers see a return on investment in 4–7 years, thanks to bill savings and Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments.

Do solar panels work in the UK climate?

Absolutely. Panels don’t need direct sunlight—they just need daylight. Even on cloudy days, modern high-efficiency panels still generate energy. The UK’s mild temperatures also help panels perform more consistently.

What happens if I generate more electricity than I use?

Excess energy is exported to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee. You’ll get paid for each unit sent back—boosting your savings and shortening your payback period.

How long do solar panels last?

High-quality panels, like those Simple Solar installs, last 25–40 years. SUNPOWER panels even come with up to 40-year warranties, ensuring performance and protection over the long term.

What kind of maintenance do solar panels need?

Solar panels are extremely low maintenance. With no moving parts, they’re designed to self-clean with rainfall and require only occasional checks for debris or buildup. Simple Solar systems come with remote monitoring, so we can track performance in real time. If something needs attention, we’ll know before you do. We also offer optional service packages for long-term peace of mind.
