Question 2

If it’s cloudy outside, will I still generate electricity using my solar panels?

Accepted Answer

Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days. They do not require direct sunlight to function, as photovoltaic cells harvest ambient daylight. While peak performance occurs during bright, direct sunshine, your panels will continue producing a lower but steady yield of electricity to reduce your reliance on the National Grid.

Question 3

Why should I install solar panels on my home in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Installing solar panels on your UK home significantly reduces mains electricity bills and shields you from volatile energy prices. A domestic photovoltaic system also lowers your household carbon footprint, increases your property's overall value, and provides crucial energy independence by generating renewable power year-round.

Question 4

How do solar panels work?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels generate electricity by capturing sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) cells made of semi-conducting silicon. When daylight strikes these cells, it creates a direct current (DC) of electricity. Because homes run on alternating current (AC) from the mains electricity, an installed inverter converts this DC power into usable AC electricity.

Question 5

Will the Sigenergy battery keep my house or business running during a power cut?

Accepted Answer

There is nothing more frustrating than a sudden grid blackout, especially when you have a roof full of solar panels and a battery full of energy! With many standard grid-tied solar systems, a power cut means your system safely shuts down, leaving you in the dark. However, the Sigenergy system is designed to keep you up and running when the grid fails.

By including the optional Sigenergy Gateway unit in your installation, your SigenStor system transforms into a fully automated, whole-property backup solution. The moment the Gateway detects a power outage from the national grid, it physically safely disconnects your property and switches to your stored battery power. The most impressive part? It does this in exactly 0 milliseconds. The switchover is so instantaneous that your lights won't even flicker, your computers won't reboot, and your Wi-Fi won't drop out. You might not even realize there’s a blackout happening outside!

This feature is incredibly reassuring for our domestic customers across Derby and the Midlands who want to keep the lights on and the fridge cold. It is equally critical for our commercial clients nationwide who simply cannot afford business downtime or lost data due to power failures. As an independent installer of all premium brands, we love recommending Sigenergy for its robust off-grid capabilities. Plus, because we stand by the quality of our work, the entire solar and battery installation comes with our comprehensive 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Why do you need a copy of my electricity bill and a screenshot of my property?

Accepted Answer

It might feel like we’re being a bit nosey, but we promise there’s a very good method to our madness! 🕵️‍♂️ When we ask for a recent electricity bill, it’s not because we’re interested in your spending habits—it’s actually the "secret sauce" for designing a system that actually saves you money. Think of it like a tailor measuring you for a bespoke suit; we need to know exactly how much energy your home "wears" throughout the year. By looking at your annual kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage, we can calculate the perfect number of solar panels and the right size of battery storage to ensure you aren't overspending on kit you don't need, or worse, running out of stored sunshine by 7:00 PM! ⚡🌙

As for the screenshot or photo of your property, this helps our design team perform a "virtual site survey." We use high-tech software to look at your roof’s orientation (north, south, east, or west), the pitch of the tiles, and any potential "sun-blockers" like nearby oak trees or your neighbour’s chimney stack. 🏡☀️ Seeing your property allows us to spot any technical hurdles—like the location of your consumer unit (fuse board) or where the mains electricity enters the building—long before we arrive with our ladders.

For our local customers in Derby and across the East Midlands (we cover a 40-mile radius!), providing this info upfront means we can give you a lightning-fast, accurate quote without you having to wait for a physical visit. Plus, because we offer a 10-year workmanship guarantee on all solar installations, we want to make sure the design is 100% "spot on" from day one.

Question 12

Can the Sigenergy system charge my electric vehicle directly from my solar panels?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, and it does so in a way that feels like pure magic! One of the absolute standout features of the Sigenergy SigenStor system is its optional integrated EV DC charging module. Instead of installing a separate car charger that takes solar power, converts it to AC power, sends it to your car, and then converts it back to DC power (losing energy at every step), the SigenStor uses advanced DC-coupled technology. This means it can take the clean DC power generated straight from your roof panels or your home battery and pump it directly into your electric vehicle. It’s incredibly fast, highly efficient, and allows for 100% green charging.

But it gets even better. The Sigenergy system is heavily future-proofed and ready for V2H (Vehicle-to-Home) and V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) bidirectional charging. This means that with a compatible EV, your car isn't just taking power—it becomes a massive battery on wheels! If electricity prices spike in the evening, the system can actually pull energy from your car to run your home or business, drastically cutting your bills.

We install top-tier EV chargers of all brands, but this level of seamless integration is a game-changer. Whether you're charging a family car on your driveway in Derby and the East Midlands, or managing a large commercial fleet anywhere across the UK, we can design the perfect setup for you. And as always, your EV charging installation is fully covered by our 2-year workmanship guarantee, while the solar panels powering it are backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.

How long will my scaffold stay up for?

Accepted Answer

We completely understand that having scaffolding hugging your house isn't exactly the most aesthetic look! 🏡👷‍♂️ One of the most common questions we get from our domestic customers across Derby and the wider East Midlands (we cover a 40-mile radius!) is how long their property will look like a temporary building site.

Think of the scaffolding as the warm-up act before the main event. We want to keep the disruption to your daily life to an absolute minimum, so we keep the timeline tight and efficient:

Going Up: We aim to have our trusted scaffolding partners erect the structure the working day before your installation is scheduled to start.

Coming Down: Once the final solar panel is securely in place and our team has packed up, the scaffolders will be back to safely dismantle and remove it the working day after your installation ends.

It really is as simple as that! We don't want you feeling like you're living in a metal jungle any longer than absolutely necessary. Plus, once that scaffolding is whisked away, you’ll be left with a brilliant, clean-energy-generating roof that is fully backed by our rock-solid 10-year workmanship guarantee on all solar installations. ☀️⚡

Question 15

How often does a commercial building need an EICR?

Accepted Answer

IET Guidance Note 3 recommends a maximum of five years between inspections for offices, shops and schools, and three years for industrial premises. Your insurer or the condition of the installation can mean shorter intervals.

Question 16

Do you work as a subcontractor for main contractors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work as the electrical subcontractor on main contractor projects, from first fix through to testing and certification.

Question 17

How many Sigenergy batteries will fit on one stack?

Accepted Answer

You can have up to 6 battery modules in a single Sigenergy stack, giving you a maximum storage capacity of roughly 48kWh per unit.

If you need even more power (for large homes or businesses), you can connect multiple Sigenergy units together.

Detailed Breakdown:

1 to 6 Modules Per Stack: The Sigenergy SigenStor is a "stackable" system. You can start with just 1 or 2 battery modules and stack up to 6 of them on top of each other in a single tower.+1

Capacity Options:

Using 5kWh modules: Max capacity of 30kWh per stack.

Using 8kWh modules: Max capacity of 48kWh per stack.

Unlimited Expansion (Parallel): For larger energy needs, we can connect multiple SigenStor stacks together in parallel. For residential systems, you can typically link up to 10 stacks, providing a massive 480kWh of storage. Commercial setups can go even larger.+1

Mix & Match: Because each battery module has its own built-in optimiser, you can technically mix different battery batches or add new modules to an old stack later without dragging down the performance of the new units.

Question 18

How does the Sigenergy AI and mySigen app help me save money on smart energy tariffs?

Accepted Answer

Figuring out the best times to charge or discharge your battery to maximize your savings can feel like a full-time job! That is exactly where pairing your battery storage with dynamic, time-of-use energy tariffs (like Octopus Agile) becomes a massive advantage. The mySigen app and its built-in Sigen AI Mode step in to do all of the heavy lifting for you, effectively acting as your own personal, automated energy trader. 📉⚡️

Powered by advanced AI integration, the system works quietly in the background to lower your bills without you having to lift a finger. It constantly analyzes a combination of real-time data to make the smartest financial decisions:

Your Energy Habits: It learns exactly when your property typically uses the most power.

Hyper-Local Weather: It checks advanced forecasts to predict how much free solar generation you will produce the next day. ☀️

Live Tariff Pricing: It tracks your dynamic energy tariff to see exactly when grid electricity is cheapest (or even negatively priced!).

If the AI sees that energy prices are going to plunge overnight, it will automatically pull energy from the grid to fill your battery at the cheapest possible rate. If it knows tomorrow will be a sunny day, it leaves room in the battery for your free solar power. Then, during expensive peak evening hours, the system seamlessly discharges your stored power, completely shielding you from high costs. 🛡️🔋

While we are entirely brand-agnostic and expertly install all the major high-quality systems, we frequently recommend Sigenergy for tech-loving customers who want to truly maximize their financial returns. Whether you're a domestic customer looking to slash household bills in Derby and our 40-mile East Midlands service area, or a commercial enterprise operating nationwide, this intelligent automation is brilliant.

Question 19

Will a Fox ESS battery still work efficiently during freezing British winters?

Accepted Answer

It’s a fantastic question! We all know that standard batteries (like the one in your mobile phone) absolutely hate the cold and lose their charge quickly when the temperature drops. So, if your solar battery is installed in a chilly garage or mounted on an outside wall, will it struggle during a frosty UK winter? If you choose a model like the Fox ESS EP11-H, you won't have to worry about the cold weather at all! ❄️🛡️

The engineers at Fox ESS have specifically designed this high-voltage powerhouse to thrive in harsh climates. The "H" in the name stands for its brilliant built-in heating element. When the temperature plummets, the battery automatically and efficiently warms its internal lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells. This smart thermal management means the battery can efficiently charge and discharge your energy even when it's a bitter -25°C outside! 🌡️🔋

Combined with a rugged IP65 weatherproof rating, this means we can install the unit safely outdoors without any fear of the Great British weather ruining your investment. Whether we’re fitting a sleek, wall-mounted unit for a homeowner in Derby and the East Midlands, or installing a robust, multi-battery array for a commercial business anywhere in the UK, Fox ESS provides total year-round reliability. And to give you that extra layer of absolute confidence, every solar and battery installation is protected by our 10-year workmanship guarantee, alongside a 2-year workmanship guarantee on any general electrical additions. 🏡⚡️

Question 20

How much can I actually save on my energy bills with solar?

Accepted Answer

It’s the question on everyone’s mind, and for good reason! When you invest in solar, you aren't just putting panels on a roof; you’re essentially building your own mini-power station. While the exact "pounds and pence" figure varies from home to home, most of our customers in Derby and across the East Midlands see a massive reduction in their monthly outgoings.

Generally speaking, a well-designed solar PV system can reduce your electricity bills by anywhere from 50% to 70%. How do we get to those numbers? It usually comes down to three main factors:

Direct Consumption: This is the "free" energy you use the moment the sun is shining. Instead of buying electricity from the grid at standard rates, your appliances run directly off your panels.

Battery Storage: This is the real game-changer. Without a battery, any solar energy you don't use during the day is sent back to the grid. With a battery, we can store that power so you can use it to cook dinner or watch TV in the evening. This dramatically increases your self-sufficiency.

Smart Export Guarantee (SEG): For any excess energy you do send back to the grid, your energy supplier will actually pay you! It’s a great way to squeeze even more value out of your system.

Because we are brand-agnostic, we don't push one specific manufacturer. Whether it’s a high-efficiency premium panel or a robust budget-friendly system, we tailor the setup to your specific roof orientation and energy habits. We want to make sure the math works for you before a single bolt is tightened.

To give you total peace of mind while you're watching those savings roll in, we provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee on all our solar installations. We’ve been serving the local area (within a 40-mile radius of Derby) for years, so you can trust that we’ll be here to support you long after the installation is complete.

Question 21

What do I do about birds nesting under my solar panels?

Accepted Answer

If there’s one thing our feathered friends love just as much as a freshly washed car, it’s the cosy, warm, and sheltered gap right underneath a working solar panel! 🐦☀️ Pigeons and other nesting birds can be a real nuisance for homeowners, bringing unwanted noise, messy gutters, and even potential damage to your roof and wiring.

But if you're choosing Power & Control to upgrade your home in Derby or the wider East Midlands (we proudly cover a 40-mile radius!), you don't need to lift a finger or worry about any surprise lodgers.

We’ve got brilliant news for you: we install premium bird protection absolutely FREE on every single solar system we fit. Think of it like a polite but firm bouncer for your roof! 🛑 Here is how we keep the pigeons at bay:

The Perimeter Shield: We securely attach a robust, weather-resistant wire mesh around the entire outside edge of your solar array.

Maximum Airflow: The mesh stops the birds from setting up camp, but still allows plenty of cooling airflow to reach your panels, ensuring they operate at peak efficiency.

Complete Peace of Mind: We fit the protection while the scaffolding is already up during your initial installation, saving you the hassle and hefty cost of hiring someone to do it later.

Combined with our rock-solid 10-year workmanship guarantee on all solar installations, you can put your feet up and have a cuppa, knowing your investment is completely protected from day one. 🏡☕

Question 22

Can we add battery storage to a commercial solar system?

Accepted Answer

Yes, either at installation or later. A battery stores daytime surplus for early mornings, evenings or peak-rate periods, rather than exporting it at a lower rate. Whether it pays back depends on your tariff and usage pattern, which we model before recommending one.

Question 23

Do we need permission from the DNO before installing commercial solar?

Accepted Answer

For most commercial systems, yes. Small systems exporting up to 16A per phase connect under G98 and only need notifying. Anything larger needs a G99 application to the DNO before connection, which in Derby is National Grid Electricity Distribution. On some parts of the network they may require export limitation. We prepare and submit the application as part of the project.

Question 24

Can solar go on a fibre cement roof?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the right fixing system. Fibre cement sheets can't carry the load themselves, so we use a cross-rail system fixed through to the building's steel frame, as we did on a 31.13kW agricultural array near Loughborough. If there's any chance the sheets contain asbestos, we'll ask for a survey before any design work starts.

Question 25

We lease our building. Can we still install solar?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes, but you'll need your landlord's consent. We can provide the design, roof loading and fixing details they'll want to see, so the conversation starts with real information.

Question 26

Can our business get paid for the electricity we export?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Businesses can earn through the Smart Export Guarantee, and rates vary by supplier. Systems up to 50kW need MCS certification to qualify, which we provide. Larger systems, up to 5MW, qualify through Ofgem's ROO-FIT accreditation instead.
