FAQs
How much can I expect to save on my electricity bills after installing a solar system with Efficient Solutions Electrical in Guild?
Savings depend on your roof size, orientation, current consumption and the tariff you are on, but most Guild households that install a 4–6 kW array see their grid-purchased electricity drop by 50–70 %. At today’s rates that equates to £500–£900 in annual savings. With Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments for excess generation, typical pay-back periods are 5–8 years, while the panels are warranted for 25 years or more, meaning two decades of largely free energy after the system has paid for itself.
What incentives or rebates are available for solar installations in Guild right now?
Domestic solar in England benefits from 0 % VAT until at least March 2027. Homeowners can also earn SEG payments for every kilowatt-hour exported to the grid; rates vary by supplier but average 4–15 p/kWh. If you add battery storage, some suppliers offer favourable export-boost tariffs that pay even more in peak periods. Businesses can additionally claim capital allowances such as the full expensing scheme on solar assets, offsetting the cost against taxable profits in year one. Our team will help you apply for all eligible incentives and complete the DNO (Distribution Network Operator) notification to ensure you receive them.
How long does the entire solar installation process take, from the first call to switch-on?
A typical residential project in Guild follows this timeline: 1. Free site survey & quotation – 1 week from enquiry. 2. Design, performance modelling and DNO application – 1–2 weeks. 3. Equipment ordering and scheduling – 1 week after approvals. 4. On-site installation – usually 1–2 days for a standard 4–6 kW system. 5. Electrical testing, MCS certification and hand-over – immediately after installation. Overall, most customers are generating their own power within 4–6 weeks of the initial consultation. Larger, complex or commercial systems can take a little longer, but we keep you updated at every stage.
What maintenance will my solar panels and associated electrical equipment require?
Solar PV is largely maintenance-free. Panels have no moving parts; an occasional visual inspection and a clean once or twice a year (to remove dust, leaves or bird droppings) is usually sufficient. Inverters, which convert DC to AC, have a 10–15-year design life and may need replacement once in the system’s lifetime. We provide remote monitoring that alerts you to any performance drops, carry out an annual electrical safety check, and offer optional service plans that include cleaning, thermal imaging and full system reporting.
Can you integrate battery storage or EV charging with my new solar array?
Absolutely. Around 60 % of our residential clients now pair their PV array with a lithium battery (typically 5–15 kWh) to maximise self-consumption and give backup during power cuts. We are certified installers for leading brands such as Tesla Powerwall, GivEnergy and SolarEdge Home. We can also install smart EV charge points that prioritise surplus solar generation, reducing vehicle charging costs by up to 90 %. All components are designed to work together under a single monitoring app for ease of use.
What warranties and after-sales support do Efficient Solutions Electrical offer?
Every system we install is MCS-certified and comes with multiple layers of protection: • Solar panels – 25-year performance warranty (at least 80 % output) and 12-year product warranty. • Inverter – 10-year standard product warranty, extendable to 20 years. • Workmanship – 10-year insurance-backed warranty covering installation quality. • Monitoring – Free lifetime access to your online portal or app. • Support – Local Guild-based engineers on call, guaranteed 48-hour response for fault diagnosis, and priority service visits for maintenance plan customers. Should you sell your property, all warranties are fully transferable to the new owner, protecting the value of your investment.
