Questions
How does the Feed-in Tariff scheme work?
The government pays you for generated electricity through your energy supplier. You receive 41.3p/kWh for 25 years, plus 3p/kWh for exported electricity, with payments increasing with inflation.
What's involved in solar panel installation?
Our MCS engineers complete installations in 1-2 days with minimal disruption. The process includes system design, equipment delivery, panel mounting, electrical connections, and final testing to ensure optimal performance.
Do I need planning permission?
Most domestic installations don't require planning permission. We check your property's specific requirements and handle applications if needed, ensuring compliance with Bristol City Council regulations.
What guarantees do you offer?
We provide comprehensive guarantees covering parts and labour. Solar panels typically include 25-year performance warranties, with inverters covered for 5-10 years, backed by the Consumer Protection Agency.
Can I sell excess electricity?
Yes, you receive 3p/kWh for exported electricity through your energy supplier. Most systems automatically feed surplus power to the grid, with payments included in your Feed-in Tariff income.
How much roof space do I need?
A typical 4kW system requires 25-35m² of unshaded roof space. We assess your property's suitability during free consultations, considering roof orientation, structural integrity, and local shading factors.
