Expert Solar Panel Installers in Crawley

This will very much depend on how much and when you use your electricity and how efficient your appliances are. You can expect to generate excess electricity in the summer which can potentially offset the energy you use from the grid in the winter months. A combination of energy efficient appliances and light bulbs along with some potential lifestyle changes can help to reduce your electricity bill by over two-thirds.

The solar panels themselves are designed to be self-cleaning. However, over a period of time their performance can be affected by a build-up of debris such as leaves, tree sap, and bird matter. We would recommend that the panels should be cleaned on a yearly basis. This should be carried out by personnel who are suitably qualified to work at height, or with equipment which would enable the cleaning to be carried out from ground level.

It would take an average household around 7 years to recoup the initial investment, however we have seen some systems with battery storage on track for payback times of less than 6 years.
