Frequently Asked Questions

Are solar panels worth it in Stone?

Yes. With electricity prices having risen significantly since 2021 and typical returns of 15-20%, solar outperforms most investments. Stone receives similar sunshine hours to the wider Staffordshire 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 Stone?

Most installations fall under permitted development - no permission needed. You may require 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 Stafford Borough Council where required.

Can I get grants for solar in Stone?

Yes. Businesses can access local authority 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.

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 Stone's cooler temperatures than in extreme heat.
