Frequently Asked Questions
Are solar panels worth it in Lichfield?
Yes. With electricity costs significantly higher than in previous years and typical returns of 15-20%, solar outperforms most investments. Lichfield receives good sunshine hours for solar generation, typically producing 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 Lichfield?
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 Lichfield District Council where required.

Yes. Businesses can access local authority decarbonisation grants and capital allowances. 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.
