FAQs
What does the initial solar consultation in Whitwell include?
Our first visit covers a full electrical assessment of your property, a roof and shading survey, discussion of your energy goals, and a review of your current utility bills. We gather this data to design a system tailored to your home or business and explain the expected performance, costs, and timeline.
How do I know if my property in Whitwell is suitable for solar panels?
During the consultation we evaluate roof orientation, pitch, structural integrity, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings. We also check available ground space if you’re considering a ground-mount system. Using solar modeling software, we estimate annual production to confirm whether solar is a good fit for your site.
Will the consultation cover potential cost savings and financing options?
Yes. We prepare a detailed financial analysis showing estimated energy bill reductions, payback period, and return on investment. We also review available incentives such as the Smart Export Guarantee, zero-rated VAT for domestic systems, and local grants. If you prefer financing, we outline loan or lease programmes and how they affect cash flow.
Do I need planning permission for solar installation in Whitwell?
Most residential rooftop systems fall under ‘permitted development’ and do not require planning permission, provided they meet size and placement guidelines. However, properties in conservation areas or listed buildings may need approval. We clarify the rules for your specific address and, if necessary, handle the application on your behalf.
How long does the site assessment and quotation process take?
The on-site assessment typically lasts 60–90 minutes. Within five business days of the visit you will receive a comprehensive proposal that includes system design, performance estimates, itemised costs, and projected savings. We schedule a follow-up call to answer any questions before you decide to proceed.
Is there a fee for the initial electrical and solar consultation?
No. Our initial consultation in Whitwell is completely free and comes with no obligation. We believe you should have all the facts before making an investment, so we provide the site survey, design, and proposal at no charge.
