Frequently Asked Questions
Are solar panels worth it in Horncastle?
Yes. With electricity prices significantly higher than previous years and typical returns of 15-20%, solar typically outperforms most investments. Lincolnshire receives above-average sunshine hours for the UK, with systems typically generating around 900-1,000 kWh per kWp installed. Systems generally pay back in 4-7 years (business) or 6-8 years (domestic), then provide 20+ years of reduced electricity costs.
How long does installation take?
Domestic installations typically 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 Horncastle?
Most installations fall under permitted development - no permission needed. You may need approval if your property is listed, in a conservation area (such as parts of the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB), or if panels project over 200mm from the roof. We handle all planning applications through East Lindsey District Council where required.
Can I get grants for solar in Horncastle?
Yes. Businesses can access capital allowances for tax relief. Homeowners benefit from 0% VAT (saving thousands), Smart Export Guarantee payments (5-15p/kWh), and potential ECO4 funding for eligible properties. We help identify and apply for all available funding.
Do solar panels work in cloudy weather?
Yes. Modern panels generate from daylight, not just direct sun - producing 10-25% capacity on overcast days. Panels actually perform better in cooler temperatures than in extreme heat, making Lincolnshire's climate well-suited for solar generation.
