Planning for solar panel installation involves checking the roof structure is stable and South, East or a West sloping roof for optimal light capture. The property will require scaffolding around the roof perimeter to enable an MCS approved installer to safely mount solar panels on the roof. Physical solar panel installation only takes an experienced team like Definitive Electrical Solutions 1- 3 days to complete and test. The cost of solar panel installation in Nottingham ranges from £5,000 to £8,000 but the cost does vary according to the number of solar panels and whether you want a solar battery to work alongside the solar panel system. Our best advice is to give Definitive Electrical Solutions a call so we arrange an inspection of the roof structure to get the ball rolling.
Back to top1) How much is solar panel installation in Nottingham?
A stand alone solar panel system costs between £5,000 and £8,000, however many homeowners consider adding a battery storage system to conserve the energy made to use at a later stage, bumping up the cost to around £13,000. Definitive Electrical Solutions had the privilege of working with a lovely couple who were close to retirement. The property on Moore Road in Nottingham was a detached bungalow but a large apple tree from the adjacent garden caused some shade issues on one side of the roof. As solar panel installation is something we do regularly, we found that the larger ground footprint relative to their bedrooms was larger than the average two storey property. With some creative thinking from our expert solar panel installers, we could arrange the 10 solar panels to the roof successfully.
Back to top2) What happens during solar panel installation in Nottingham?
It takes a day or so to get the prep work done such as erecting scaffolding around the roof structure. Brackets are attached to the wooden roof rafters with a rail or frame attached for the solar panels. The photovoltaic or solar panels are mounted to the frame. Next comes the electrical work which requires connecting solar panels to an inverter which converts DC to AC, compatible for use in UK homes. The homeowners on Moore Road were worried about dangling wires but we assured them that all wiring was concealed within the frame and roof structure. Definitive Electrical Solutions ensure Building Regulations are met and safety standards are considered on all projects. We achieve this by running a series of tests and issuing an MCS Certificate.
