Solar Myths vs Facts

Let's separate fact from fiction about solar energy in the UK.

MYTH

Solar doesn't work in the UK

The UK receives enough sunlight for effective solar generation. Germany, with similar conditions, is a world leader in solar.

MYTH

Solar panels are too expensive

Prices have dropped 80% in the last decade. With 0% VAT until 2027, solar has never been more affordable.

MYTH

Panels damage your roof

Professional installation protects your roof. Panels can actually extend roof life by shielding from weather.

MYTH

Solar only works when it's sunny

Panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sun. They work on cloudy days, just at reduced output.

Environmental Impact

Make a Difference

Every solar installation contributes to a cleaner future. Over 25 years, a typical home solar system prevents:

  • 30-40 tonnes of CO2 emissions
  • Equivalent to planting 1,200+ trees
  • Driving 100,000+ miles in a petrol car
  • Powering a home for 25+ years of clean energy
