FAQ

What size of array is required to deliver an output of 1kWp? Who do I bill for the solar-generated electricity I produce and how do I bill them? How are solar panels fitted to a building? How is the electrical current fed into the electricity grid? How is it possible to tell if a house is suited to having a solar array installed? Is it worthwhile having a solar array in the North of France? Is it possible to integrate solar panels into roofing? Does the solar array have to be cleaned on a regular basis? Do shadows cast over a solar array affect its electricity yield?

Yes. Any shadows falling on a solar array will have an effect on electricity yield. You therefore need to check that there are no electrical cables, telegraph poles, vegetation or chimneys to get in the way of the sunlight.

Thanks to our monitoring of your array’s electricity production, Solairedirect will be able to let you know if it notes any unusual drop in your electricity production. If necessary, as part and parcel of our all-inclusive ‘Peace of mind and Top performance’ package, one of our technicians will be sent out as quickly as possible to right the situation.
