Pair your Pod Point with solar panels

Solar panels are suitable for many UK homes. Factors such as your roof size, orientation, roof condition, and shading can affect performance, which Contact Solar will assess as part of the quotation process.

Yes. Many homeowners choose to add battery storage alongside solar panels, but it can often be installed at a later date if your needs change. If you choose to add battery storage later, your existing inverter may need to be upgraded to a compatible hybrid inverter. Contact Solar will assess your setup and talk you through the available options and associated costs.

Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunshine. While output is lower on cloudy days, they'll continue producing energy throughout the year.

Savings vary depending on your home's energy usage, system size and electricity tariff. Contact Solar can provide personalised savings estimates as part of your quote.

Yes. Our Pod Point Solo 3S chargers come with solar integration, meaning you can charge your vehicle with solar power or a mixture of solar and grid energy. 

Most standard solar panel installations are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex installations may take longer. Scaffolding is usually installed before the installation date, and your installer will confirm the expected installation timeframe during the pre-installation assessment.

Warranty cover varies depending on the products you choose, and full details will be provided as part of your quote. 

Typically:
 

• Solar panels: 30-year product warranty and 30-year performance warranty.
• Battery and inverter: 10-year manufacturer warranty.
• Installation workmanship: 2-year workmanship warranty covering installation defects.

Equipment warranties are subject to the manufacturer's terms. Call out fees may apply. Your proposal and and warranty document will outline the exact cover for your system.

If you generate more electricity than you use, your home battery can store the excess energy for later, as long as there's available capacity. Any remaining electricity may be exported to the grid, depending on your system's export arrangements. If you want to be paid for the electricity you export, you'll need an eligible export tariff such as a Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariff. Eligibility, rates and terms apply.
