FAQs

Find the answers to some queries people have when it comes to installing and maintaining Solar Panels

Contact Us
How long does a solar pv & battery storage installation take?

Installation times vary depending on the size & design type, typically a Solar & Storage system will take 2-4 working days to complete.

Do I need to inform my electricity provider?

Yes, it is advisable to shop around and find the best electricity tariff to suit your new renewable technology installation. Advise them what products you have had installed and they will advise you on the best tariffs available to you.

Can I export electricity straight away and get paid?

No, firstly you will need to contact your electricity provider and agree an “Export Tariff”, once this has been authorised by your energy provider Blue Electric can then alter your settings to allow the export of electricity.

How do I ensure my system runs efficiently all year round?

If you have battery storage, it is strongly advisable that you alter your charge and discharge settings according to the amount of sunlight hours available at that time of year.
‍
Blue Electric offer an automated annual charge & discharge subscription service which provides the homeowner with peace of mind the system is running at its full potential all year round. Alternatively we can provide our customers with the relevant information required to enable them to adjust the settings themselves.

Do I need to organise scaffolding access, and how long will the scaffolding be up for?

Blue Electric are able to offer scaffolding as a part of our priced works when requested, alternatively you are able to provide your own scaffolding access providing it meets the required health & safety working at height standards.

What is the typical lead time between confirming my installation and it being completed?

Blue Electric advise a 2-4 week lead time for Solar PV & Battery storage installations.

When and how do I pay for the works?

A 25% upfront deposit is required to confirm your order & installation date, a further 25% upfront payment is then payable 2 weeks from the installation start date. Upon satisfactory completion of your new solar & battery installation, you will be required to pay the 50% remaining balance plus any scaffolding costs agreed upfront.

What happens after the installation is finished?

Upon completion of the solar & battery system, the team will get the scaffolding struck down and get to work on your commissioning documentation.
‍
Once all commissioning documentation has been complete and you are satisfied with your installation, a final invoice will be emailed to you alongside your electronic completion pack. Please keep these records safe as you will need to refine them later on when setting up a new energy tariff!

Do I need to get my system serviced and or cleaned?

It is strongly advised that you get your new Solar PV and battery storage system serviced every year and as per the manufacturers warranty requirements. Some manufacturers may deem your warranty invalid if your system hasn’t been serviced by a reputable installer.

How much will I actually save on my energy bills?

Savings depend on your energy usage, system size, and how much of your electricity you use during daylight hours—but most homeowners see a noticeable reduction.

Will my solar panels work on cloudy days or in winter?

Yes, panels still generate electricity in lower light conditions, though output is reduced compared to sunny days. Systems are designed to work year-round in the UK climate.

Do I need planning permission to install solar panels?

In most cases, no—solar PV falls under permitted development. Exceptions may apply in conservation areas or on listed buildings.

What maintenance is required?

Solar PV systems are low maintenance, but we recommend a professional check every 3–5 years. Keeping panels clean and monitoring system performance helps maintain efficiency.

Can I store the energy I generate?

Yes, with a battery storage system, you can store excess solar energy for use later—helping reduce reliance on the grid even further.
