How Do Solar Panels Work?
Solar panels, often referred to as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are remarkable tools that convert sunlight into electricity. They contain cells made from materials like silicon, which produce an electrical current when exposed to light.
This works even on cloudy days since the cells react to visible light, not just direct sun.
To make the electricity usable for your house, it goes through an inverter that changes it from DC (the type of electricity the cells make) to AC (the type of electricity we use at home). The inverter is usually placed somewhere like the loft or garage, close to the panels. There are also smaller inverters that can be attached directly to each panel.
The more panels you have, the more electricity you produce. For example, in southern England, installing 10 panels can reduce CO2 emissions by nearly a ton each year.
Advantages of Going Solar
✔ Manage Rising Energy Costs: Energy prices are on the rise, but with solar panels, you can take control. By producing your own energy, you’re directly influencing your future savings.
✔ Embrace Energy Independence: Our PV panels are designed for everyone – be it homes or businesses. With them, you’re not just using electricity; you’re producing it, making you less dependent on external sources.
✔ Benefit from Extra Energy: The UK’s Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) Scheme ensures that your surplus energy doesn’t just vanish. You can even sell it back to the national grid, contributing to the environment and your wallet.
Is Solar Right for You?
Suffolk Skies and Solar: Some believe that our region’s changing weather can challenge solar panel efficiency. However, today’s panels are built to perform even when it’s not a bright sunny day. Even when Suffolk skies are grey, solar panels are still hard at work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most solar panels are durable, with a typical lifespan ranging from 25 to 30 years. They may lose a bit of efficiency as the years roll on, but they’ll still be hard at work generating energy for years to come.
Absolutely! While sun-soaked days are ideal, solar panels can still harness energy on cloudy days and throughout winter, albeit at a slightly reduced efficiency.
Installation usually wraps up in 1-3 days, varying with the system’s size and any unique challenges your property presents. We’re committed to swift and smooth installations.
Solar panel systems paired with battery storage can provide backup power during outages. However, most standard setups without a battery will shut off for safety reasons during a grid power cut.
While it’s technically possible to move and reinstall solar panels, it’s often more practical and cost-effective to leave the system in place and factor its value into the property’s sale price. Each situation is unique, so it’s best to consult with us.
Multiple studies have indicated that homes with solar installations often see an increase in value. Prospective buyers appreciate the prospect of lower energy bills and environmental benefits.
