Frequently asked questions

We start with a conversation about your consumption and about your home or property. We analyse the bills and the roof, explain the possible options, then prepare a quote broken down by component. If the project calls for it, we also arrange a site visit.

It helps to know your town or village, a recent bill or your monthly consumption in kWh, the type of roof and which way it faces, a few photographs and what you want to achieve: drawing less from the grid, backup during a power cut, or both. You do not need to have all the details from the start.

We do not publish fixed prices, because they depend on consumption, on the roof, on the components chosen and on the configuration. The quote gives the cost of each component, so that you can compare.

It depends on how complex the project is and on the information you send us. At the first conversation we give you a realistic timeframe for your case.

Warranties depend on the manufacturer of each piece of equipment and on the conditions in the quote. We state them component by component before you order, so that you know exactly what is covered and for how long.

In general, yes: connecting a system to the grid involves steps with the distribution operator, and in some situations (shared roofs, protected buildings) other consents are needed as well. The rules change, so we check the current framework for each project. We do not provide legal advice.

Yes, if the system is designed for it from the start: an inverter sized with some headroom and a structure that allows panels or batteries to be added. See extending in stages.

Yes. Workshops, small commercial premises and rural households with outbuildings have different consumption and roofs from those of a house, and the sizing takes that into account. See the kits for smallholdings.

There are alternatives: mounting on the roof of an outbuilding, or on ground-mounted structures if the land allows. Sometimes the best answer is not to install anything for now and to start with consumption monitoring.

Photovoltaic systems have few moving parts and usually need periodic inspections, plus cleaning of the panels when necessary. The details are on the page about photovoltaic panels.
