Solar panel systems in the UK: Everything you need to know.

Cardinal Energy installs solar panel systems across the UK. Our base is centred in Portsmouth, England, and our goal is to make acquiring solar panels for your home easy and straightforward. As an MCS accredited solar installer, we fit high-quality solar products to the best possible standard.

Why choose a solar panel system for your home?

Solar panel technology has made significant advancements. A common misconception in the UK is that solar panels require warmer weather. While panels produce more electricity in summer, this is due to stronger sunlight often accompanying warmer temperatures. In reality, if it’s too hot or cold, solar panel efficiency decreases.

With over 8 hours of sunlight daily year-round and moderate temperatures, the UK is well-suited for solar power.

Moreover, technology has improved, panel costs have decreased, and electricity prices have risen. If you have high energy bills, installing solar panels can significantly reduce or even eliminate them.

How to acquire a solar panel system in the UK?

At Cardubak Energy, we tailor our approach to each individual’s energy bill. This gives us a starting point to determine the number of panels needed to eliminate the bill. We then assess the roof space and consider factors like windows and shade from trees that may impact panel placement. Therefore, each plan we create is unique.

We ensure that the return on investment for panels is viable for each person. This information is processed through our software. Details such as the bill amount and roof space provide insights into the expected return on investment. Investing in solar panels can be expensive.

What is the return on investment for a solar PV system?

The return on investment starts at over £25,000, making it a worthwhile investment. The average time to recoup the investment has reduced to around seven years due to rising energy costs. After this period, you should start profiting from your solar panel system.

Furthermore, the average system comes with a minimum 25-year guarantee, ensuring a renewable energy source for at least the next quarter-century.

Why is Cardinal Energy a leading solar panel installer?

Cardinal Energy installs solar panels and battery storage systems in the UK, Australia, and USA. We’re dedicated to reducing electricity bills through energy generated by your own home solar system.

The future of solar energy according to Cardinal Energy

As interest in eco-friendliness and energy efficiency grows, the Government aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. More people are embracing solar power, and we want to contribute. It’s a logical step forward as we move away from fossil fuels. Electric cars are gaining popularity and represent the future of transportation.

Solar panels and EV chargers complement each other – you can power your car with your panels. We envision more solar panels and EV chargers together in places like Portsmouth. We also offer EV charger installations for this reason. Considering the money saved with solar panels in the UK and the average time to recoup the investment, it all makes sense.

Who benefits from a solar panel system in the UK?

Anyone looking to save on their electricity bills!

How long does it take to install a solar panel system on a roof?

Installing solar panels on the average UK home is fairly quick and simple. It typically takes about a day to complete the installation. The more challenging aspects, such as planning permission or DNO approval, occur behind the scenes.

How does a solar panel system save you money in the UK?

Solar panels generate electricity, reducing your need to purchase from the grid. When you generate excess electricity, you can export it to the grid and receive compensation.

Why choose an MCS accredited solar company for installation?

When adding a solar energy system to your home, always choose an MCS accredited solar panel installer. An MCS certificate is essential when applying to the SEG scheme. This scheme enables compensation for exported energy. Additionally, an MCS certificate guarantees that your solar panel installer meets high UK standards.

Why is Cardinal Energy bringing solar installation expertise to Portsmouth in the UK?

Cardinal Energy has thrived in Australia, but England is our true home.

Our hometown holds a special place in our hearts, prompting us to establish Cardinal Energy in Portsmouth. While we could have chosen any location for our first office, we wanted to start in our local area.

Creating job opportunities in the community is another reason. Additionally, if you’re seeking ways to reduce your electric bill, we can easily assist our hometown with a UK solar panel system.

We’re proud to say that we engage local installers wherever we set up solar projects, supporting local businesses while delivering our solar installation expertise. We initiated the business around a year ago, before the cost of living escalated.

The ongoing UK energy crisis has thrust solar panels into the spotlight in recent weeks. We’re committed to making renewable energy technologies more accessible to Britons, curbing the rise in energy expenses.
