Are solar panels worth it in Syston?
Yes. With electricity up 65% since 2021 and typical returns of 15-20%, solar outperforms most investments. Syston receives similar sunshine hours to the wider East Midlands, generating around 900-1,000 kWh per kWp installed.

How long does installation take?
Domestic installations complete in 1-2 days; commercial projects take 1-4 weeks depending on size. The full process from enquiry to working system is typically 4-6 weeks, including surveys, DNO applications, and installation.
Do I need planning permission in Syston?
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 Charnwood Borough Council where required.
