5 Common Myths About Solar

Myth 1: Solar panels don’t work in winter

This is one of the most common misconceptions and it’s simply not true. Solar panels work by converting daylight, not heat, into energy. Even on cloudy days or during the winter months, they still generate power (just at slightly lower levels). Many of our customers are surprised at how well their systems perform year-round.

Myth 2: Solar is too expensive

The cost of installing solar has dropped significantly in recent years. On top of that, government incentives and improved technology make it far more affordable than people think. For many homes, solar pays for itself over time through lower energy bills and potential export payments for excess energy sent back to the grid.

Myth 3: It’s complicated to install

Going solar doesn’t have to be stressful. We handle everything from design and permissions to installation and aftercare. For most homes, the process is quick and hassle-free, with minimal disruption.

Myth 4: Solar panels need constant maintenance

Good news: solar systems are built to last and need very little upkeep. Aside from the occasional clean and check-up, they’re designed to quietly generate energy for decades.

Myth 5: Solar is only for big houses

Solar systems are incredibly flexible. Whether you have a cosy bungalow or a large detached home, we can design a system that fits your space, roof type, and energy goals.
