Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest, straightforward engineering answers to common questions about UK solar PV and battery storage.

Modern N-Type TopCon solar panels do not require direct baking sunshine; they produce electricity from ultraviolet (diffuse) daylight. Even on overcast UK winter days, a modern Tier-1 system typically generates 25% to 40% of its peak output. Over a full 12-month cycle, a south or east/west roof in the UK produces between 900 and 1,050 kWh of electricity per kWp installed.

Under current UK tax legislation, residential solar panel installations and standalone or retrofitted battery storage systems qualify for 0% VAT (down from the standard 20%). When you install with Apex Solar, the 20% discount is applied automatically at the point of quotation and invoicing, saving homeowners an average of £1,800 to £3,200 immediately.

In 98% of UK residential cases, solar panels are classified as Permitted Development and do not require planning permission. The only exceptions are Grade I or Grade II listed buildings or properties located in designated conservation areas where panels would face a public highway. Our team conducts a full planning screening as part of your satellite survey.

The Tesla Powerwall 3 and GivEnergy All-In-One batteries use advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry engineered for 6,000+ full charge-discharge cycles. They come with a comprehensive 10-year unlimited cycle manufacturer warranty (guaranteeing over 70% capacity retention). Real-world expected operational lifespan is 15 to 20 years.

Standard solar PV without an Emergency Power Supply (EPS) inverter must shut down during a power cut to prevent backfeeding into the grid. However, our Tesla Powerwall 3 and Hybrid Battery packages include instant automatic islanding (EPS). In less than 20 milliseconds, your home seamlessly disconnects from the grid and continues running on battery and solar power with zero interruption.

A typical residential solar PV and battery installation is completed in just 1 to 2 days by our in-house MCS-certified electrical and roofing teams. We handle scaffolding erection, roof mounting, electrical DC/AC cabling, inverter commissioning, DNO G98/G99 grid certification, and app setup with zero hassle.
