Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why choose Sol-Teq for my solar installation?
Sol-Teq designs and installs solar panels and battery storage around your property and electricity needs. Our approach starts with understanding your home, explaining the suitable options and helping you make an informed decision.
We have an installation team in Scotland, and you can read our customer reviews to learn about other homeowners’ experiences.
Q. Which areas do you cover?
We’re currently focusing on solar-and-battery installations for homeowners in Scotland. Send us your postcode so we can confirm whether we cover your location.
If your property is elsewhere in the UK, please contact us to discuss your requirements before requesting an installation.
Q. Why install solar panels and a battery together?
Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours. A battery stores some of the electricity you don’t use immediately, so you can use it later, for example, in the evening.
Our main focus is combined solar-and-battery installations. We consider both parts together to recommend a system suited to your household’s electricity use.
Q. Will solar panels work in Scotland’s weather?
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight and can still produce power on cloudy days, although output is lower than in strong sunshine.
Generation varies throughout the year. We take your location, roof direction and shading into account when assessing your property and estimating how much electricity a system could produce.
Q. How do you decide which system is right for my home?
We consider your roof space, orientation, shading, electricity use and what you want to achieve. We also look at suitable space for the battery and associated equipment.
These details help us recommend the panel layout, system size and battery capacity. If your property presents limitations, we’ll explain how those affect your options.
Q. How much does a solar-and-battery installation cost?
The price depends on the equipment, number of panels, battery capacity and work required at your property. Roof access and the complexity of the installation can also affect the cost.
Request a tailored quote so we can assess your requirements and explain the proposed system and installation price.
Q. How much could I save on my electricity bills?
Your potential savings depend on how much electricity your system generates, how much you use at home, your battery capacity and your electricity tariff.
We can discuss estimated savings for your proposed system and explain the assumptions behind them. Actual savings will vary as your usage, electricity prices and system performance change.
Q. What happens after I request a quote?
We’ll review the information you provide and contact you to discuss your property and requirements. We may need further details about your roof, electricity use and existing equipment before preparing a proposal.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about the recommended system, installation and next steps before deciding whether to proceed.
Q. What does the installation involve?
A typical installation involves arranging safe access to the roof, fitting the panel mounting system and panels, installing the inverter and battery, and completing the electrical connections and checks.
The work and timescale depend on your property and system. We’ll explain the proposed schedule and any expected disruption before installation begins.
Q. What warranties come with my system?
Warranty terms depend on the equipment selected. Solar panels, batteries and inverters can have different cover periods and conditions.
Panel product warranties and performance warranties also cover different things. Ask us to explain the equipment warranties and any installation workmanship cover included in your proposal, so you know what applies to your system.
Q. Will I still need electricity from the grid?
For a typical home installation, yes. Solar panels and battery storage can reduce the electricity you buy from the grid, but you may still need grid power when generation is low or your battery is depleted.
A battery does not automatically provide power during a power cut. If backup power matters to you, tell us at the enquiry stage so we can discuss the equipment and installation arrangements it would require.
Q. What support is available after installation?
Contact our team if you have questions about operating your system, monitoring its performance or understanding its maintenance requirements.
We can explain the appropriate next steps for your equipment. Any servicing, repair work or replacement parts will depend on the issue and the warranty or service terms that apply.
Q. Can I get paid for electricity I don’t use?
You may be able to receive payments for surplus electricity exported to the grid through an eligible export tariff.
The rate and requirements depend on the supplier and tariff you choose. Export income is separate from the savings you make by using your own solar electricity at home.
