Expert Solar Panel Installers in Penarth

Yes, ideally south facing roofs are the best for solar generation, however, east and west may generate similar or even better returns, especially if you use both aspects to create more even power generation throughout the day. Shallow pitched north facing roofs are also an option. If there are no suitable roofs available, a system can be ground-mounted.

Like the life of your mobile phone, the lifespan of your battery will depend on how often it is charged and discharged. Each manufacturer offers a minimum number of charging cycles and a warranty period as standard.

A solar thermal system needs to feed into a twin coil hot water cylinder, so that it can be used in conjunction with another heat source. If your home or building uses a combi boiler, there will be no existing hot water cylinder, so a new high-pressure cylinder would need to be fitted. These can fit easily into an airing cupboard, loft or utility space, and provide the dual benefit of fuel savings from solar thermal and a better flow rate from the high-pressure cylinder. An old or single coil hot water cylinder will need to be replaced with a twin coil cylinder. Solarsense can identify and provide all kinds of heating upgrades necessary for the installation of a solar thermal system and can supply these as part of an installation package.

A solar park can be appropriately designed and located so that it has a minimal visual impact on the surrounding area. A well-designed solar park will utilise natural screening such as contours in the land and existing hedgerows without sustaining the effects of solar shading. Screening and biodiversity can be improved by planting trees and hedgerows; Solarsense will take this into account during the planning process.

Solarsense offer operations, maintenance and monitoring on every commercial renewable energy system installed. Each technology will require a different level of maintenance, however, we will discuss this with you as part of the project schedule.
