Technical FAQs 4

Do solar panels require energy to operate?

Solar panels do indeed require energy, specifically during their manufacture and transportation. Additionally, there's an energy debt to consider, which involves the acquisition and conversion of raw materials into the parts used to make solar panels.

Does solar work without batteries?

The Bottom Line Yes —in grid-tied systems, solar works daily without on-site batteries. No —for off-grid homes or for seamless outage backup, storage becomes essential. Hybrid systems bridge both worlds, trading higher upfront cost for resilience and flexibility.

Are solar installations allowed?

Although solar installations are considered as permitted developments, it’s always worth double-checking with your local authority to ensure that no restrictions are in place. It’s possible to generate your own electricity using a small-scale wind turbine.

Should you go solar or hybrid?

PV during daylight can extend this, but expect clouds during severe weather and plan conservatively. Go Grid-Tied (no batteries) if the grid is reliable, incentives favor exports, and outage risk is minimal. Go Hybrid if you want outage backup, time-of-use savings, or to increase self-consumption.
