What are solar panels?

Solar panels, also referred to as photovoltaic cells, use the Sun’s light energy which is trapped in silicon cells within the panels. Light energy is converted to electrical energy which can then be distributed within your home. This type of energy formation is renewable energy and does not produce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.

Benefits of solar panel installation

Most solar panels, although costly to begin with, most solar panel systems pay for themselves within 5-7 years.  An extra bonus is that solar panels have a shelf life of around 20 years so this means many years of free energy for your home.

D P Electrical Specialists experienced solar panel installers in Leeds can even assist you with your application for the SEG (Smart Export Guarantee), a scheme where energy suppliers actually pay you for any excess electrical energy that your home has generated through the solar panels.

You can consider combining a battery storage system with your solar panels as an ideal way to store excess energy that is made by the solar panels. You’ll be using more green energy and relying less on energy from the national grid.

Types of solar panels

Our solar panel installers recommend N-type monochrystalline panels as they tick the boxes for value and efficiency. We find many of our existing clients in Leeds prefer to install all black panels as they generally match the exterior of the building.

There are a wide range of solar panel manufacturers on the market today and we are experienced in installing from brands such as Jinko Solar, CAnadian Solar and Trina. Our friendly team of professionals can go through the different companies providing panels to ensure you choose the right solar panel with durability and efficiency.

How many solar panels should I install?

Once our electricians come out for the initial visit at your Leeds property, we will discuss factors such as the type of property, the number of bedrooms, the occupancy and we also discuss electrical demands for the property. Variables such as having an EV charger, heated flooring or even air conditioning will determine the number of solar panels you will need to install.

Is my home in Leeds suitable for solar panel installation?

If your property has a flat roof or is a listed building, you may need to apply for planning permission. If you do have a property with a flat roof, a frame will need to be installed to create a base for attaching any solar panels.

What happens during solar panel installation?

Our team of skilled solar panel installers can pretty much complete solar panel installations in a day or two, we try to minimise any disruption we may cause to your home.

We find the planning stage crucial, we communicate any scaffolding needs to be set up prior to installing the solar panels. Our team also assists you when it comes to communicating with your DNO or District Network Operator, they actually help to get the solar panels connected to the electricity network.

At D P Electrical Specialists, once installation is completed, we will guide you through the system and explain how it all works.

You’ll also receive all certification and paperwork upon completion of installation.
