Each solar panel contains photovoltaic cells made from silicon. When light hits these cells, it causes electrons to move, which creates an electrical current. That current is captured and fed through your system.

The process is called the photovoltaic effect, and it happens continuously whenever light is present. Not just in direct sunshine, but in daylight of any kind.

There are no moving parts, no fuel, and no combustion. The panel simply sits on your roof and converts light into electricity.

A battery that's too small won't capture all your surplus generation.

One that's too large costs more than it needs to and may never fully cycle.

The right size sits in between, and it's determined by your household's usage pattern, particularly how much energy you consume in the evenings and overnight when panels aren't generating.

We'll look at your usage data and design battery storage that works for how you actually live, rather than defaulting to a standard size that may not suit your needs.

This one comes up constantly, and it's understandable why. The UK isn't known for its sunshine, and if panels only worked in direct sun, they'd be fairly limited here.

But that's not how photovoltaic technology works.

Panels generate electricity from light including the diffuse light you get on a cloudy day. Output is lower than on a clear summer's day, yes. But generation continues throughout the year.

We'll always give you a realistic annual generation estimate based on your location and roof orientation, not a figure based on perfect conditions.

Stewart left us this ★★★★★ review, and we're genuinely grateful for the kind words.

""Very efficient and thorough operation in my dealings. No delays of any kind, everything went exactly as planned. From my initial sales visit by Claire the operation was slick and professional. Right through to the finished installation of the panels the project took only 10 days. There was no dreaded pressure selling by anyone, which made it a much more pleasing experience.""

Hearing this from our customers is what drives us to keep doing things the right way. If you'd like to find out what Solar 365 could do for your home, get in touch.

System costs vary depending on size, equipment, and the complexity of the installation. For a typical three or four-bedroom home, a solar and battery package sits in a range that most people find more accessible than they expected.

Prices have come down significantly over the last decade, and the combination of reduced bills and export payments means the investment starts working for you from day one.

We'll always give you a clear, itemised quote with no hidden costs and we'll explain every line of it.

In the northern hemisphere, the sun travels across the southern part of the sky.

A south-facing roof therefore receives the most direct sunlight across the course of a day, giving the highest overall generation. East-facing roofs perform better in the morning, west-facing roofs in the afternoon. North-facing roofs receive the least direct sunlight and are generally not suitable for solar.

The orientation of your roof is assessed during the survey, and generation estimates are calculated specifically for your aspect rather than using a generic figure.

"Will took the time to leave us this ★★★★★ review, and we wanted to share it.

""We contacted Jordan having seen a video of a local install and as this was local decided to give them a call. We have had ridiculous quotes for a much smaller system and long install times. Within a week we have had the survey and installation completed and already seeing the benefits. In the last four days our electricity bill has been less than a pound most of the energy provided from solar or the battery. They are so professional and polite leaving a tidy fit only expected from a highly trained competent team.""

If you're considering solar and want a straight answer rather than a sales pitch, give us a call. We're always happy to have an honest conversation.

We hear this one a lot, and we understand why. Solar has a reputation for being expensive. But the reality in 2026 is that system costs have come down considerably, and when you weigh the upfront investment against what you actually save on your bills over time, the numbers tend to make sense for most households.

We would never tell someone solar is right for them if we didn't genuinely believe it was. But we'd encourage anyone who has written it off on cost grounds alone to at least have the conversation first.
