Frequently Asked Questions
Are solar panels worth it in Glossop?
Yes. With electricity prices up 65% since 2021 and typical returns of 15-20%, solar outperforms most traditional investments. The High Peak 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), followed by 20+ years of free electricity generation.
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 initial enquiry to working system is typically 4-6 weeks, including surveys, DNO applications, and installation.
Do I need planning permission in Glossop?
Most installations fall under permitted development rights - no formal permission needed. You may require approval if your property is listed, located in a conservation area, or if panels project over 200mm from the roof surface. We handle all planning applications through High Peak Borough Council where required.
Can I get grants for solar in Glossop?
Yes. Businesses can access local authority sustainability grants and claim capital allowances. 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 electricity from daylight, not just direct sunshine - producing 10-25% of rated capacity on overcast days. Panels actually perform better in cooler temperatures than in extreme heat, making the High Peak climate well-suited for solar generation.
