Rhea will contact you within 5 working days to organise the Retrofit Survey. This is to review the property and decide what measures are suitable.
A contractor will then contact you to arrange a Technical Survey. This is an in-depth survey of the property to take the required measurements for installation.
The contractor will then provide quotes and submit them to the Government for approval. Once approved, you will be contacted to arrange the installation date.
Solar panels capture sunlight throughout the day, generating DC electricity. This goes to an inverter, converting it into alternating current (AC) electricity. The AC electricity then powers your appliances with any excess stored in batteries or exported to the grid.
A typical household with a 3.5 kilowatt-peak system could save between £130 and £310 a year, depending on the Energy Price Cap rates.
Solar panels can still generate electricity without direct sunlight using photovoltaic cells. However, it might not be quite as efficient.
