Frequently Asked Questions
Are solar panels worth it in Markfield?
Yes. With electricity costs up significantly since 2021 and typical annual returns of 15-20%, solar outperforms most traditional investments. Markfield receives comparable 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 reduced-cost 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, covering surveys, DNO applications and installation.
Do I need planning permission in Markfield?
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 Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council where required.
Can I get grants for solar in Markfield?
Yes. Businesses can access local authority decarbonisation grants and 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% capacity on overcast days. Panels actually perform better in Markfield's cooler temperatures than in extreme heat, making the East Midlands climate well suited for solar generation.
