Frequently Asked Questions
Are solar panels worth it in Bolsover?
Yes. With electricity up 65% since 2021 and typical returns of 15-20%, solar outperforms most investments. Bolsover receives similar sunshine hours to the wider East Midlands, generating around 900-1,000 kWh per kWp installed. Systems typically pay back in 4-7 years (business) or 6-8 years (domestic), then provide 20+ years of essentially free electricity.
How long does installation take?
Domestic installations typically complete in 1-2 days; commercial projects take 1-4 weeks depending on system size. The full process from enquiry to working system is usually 4-6 weeks, including surveys, DNO applications, and installation.
Do I need planning permission in Bolsover?
Most installations fall under permitted development - no permission needed. You may need approval if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if panels project over 200mm from the roof. We handle all planning applications through Bolsover District Council where required.
Can I get grants for solar in Bolsover?
Yes. Businesses can access local authority decarbonisation grants and claim capital allowances for tax relief. Homeowners benefit from 0% VAT (saving thousands), Smart Export Guarantee payments (5-15p/kWh), and potential ECO4 funding. We help identify and apply for all available funding.
Do solar panels work in cloudy weather?
Yes. Modern panels generate from daylight, not just direct sun - producing 10-25% capacity on overcast days. Panels actually perform better in Bolsover's cooler temperatures than in extreme heat, making them well-suited to East Midlands conditions.
