Frequently Asked Questions
Are solar panels worth it in Boston, Lincolnshire?
Yes. Boston's position in the Fens provides excellent conditions for solar generation, with the flat landscape minimising shading issues and the area receiving above-average sunshine hours for the UK. With electricity costs having risen significantly and typical returns of 15-20%, solar systems often pay back in 4-7 years for businesses or 6-8 years for homeowners, followed by 20+ years of reduced energy costs.
How long does solar panel installation take in Boston?
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 usually 4-6 weeks, including surveys, DNO applications, and installation scheduling.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Boston?
Most installations fall under permitted development rights - no planning permission needed. You may require approval if your property is listed, located in a conservation area such as Boston's historic town centre, or if panels project more than 200mm from the roof surface. We handle all planning applications through Boston Borough Council where required.
Can I get grants for solar panels in Boston?
Yes. Businesses can access regional energy efficiency grants and claim capital allowances for tax relief. Homeowners benefit from 0% VAT on installations (saving thousands), Smart Export Guarantee payments (5-15p per kWh exported), and potential ECO4 funding for eligible properties. We help identify and apply for all available funding.
Do solar panels work well in the Fenland climate?
Yes. Modern panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunshine - producing 10-25% capacity even on overcast days. The Fens' flat, open landscape means properties typically experience minimal shading throughout the day, and panels actually perform more efficiently in cooler temperatures than in extreme heat.
