Frequently Asked Questions
Are solar panels worth it in Swinton?
Yes. With electricity prices significantly higher than in previous years and typical returns of 15-20%, solar outperforms most investments. Swinton receives similar sunshine hours to the wider South Yorkshire region, generating around 900-1,000 kWh per kWp installed. Systems typically pay back in 4-7 years (business) or 6-8 years (domestic), then provide 20+ years of free electricity.
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 Swinton?
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 Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council where required.
