Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the most common questions — tap a question to expand and read more.

How long do batteries last?
Battery lifespan depends on chemistry and usage — lithium batteries often last 7–10 years with proper care; lead-acid types typically 3–6 years. Regular maintenance and correct depth-of-discharge improve life.
What warranties are included?
We provide installation warranty (2 years) plus supplier warranties for panels, inverters and batteries. See the warranty summary for manufacturer terms.
Can I expand later?
Yes. Many customers start with a battery+inverter and add panels later. We design systems to be modular where possible.
Do you offer financing?
We offer staged installs and can introduce partner financing options depending on eligibility. Discuss on the assessment call.
Will installation damage my roof?
Our installers use tested mounting systems and care to protect roofing. We document existing roof condition and use sealed fixings to avoid leaks.
How long until I see savings?
Savings depend on usage, grid reliability and system size. Typical payback ranges from 3–7 years for many small businesses and family homes when offsetting generator or high-grid tariffs.
