Frequently Asked Questions
Are solar panels worth it in Bourne?
Yes. With electricity prices having risen substantially since 2021 and typical returns of 15-20%, solar typically outperforms many traditional investments. Lincolnshire's favourable sunshine levels mean systems often generate around 900-1,000 kWh per kWp installed. Systems typically pay back in 4-7 years for businesses or 6-8 years for homeowners, then provide 20+ years of low-cost electricity.
How long does installation take?
Domestic installations typically complete in 1-2 days; commercial projects take 1-4 weeks depending on size and complexity. 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 Bourne?
Most installations fall under permitted development - no planning 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 South Kesteven District Council where required.
Can I get grants for solar in Bourne?
Yes. Businesses can access capital allowances and various energy efficiency grants. 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?
