The awkward questions, answered honestly
Do I need planning permission?
What does the 20-year guarantee cover?
Most UK homes qualify as permitted development. Listed buildings and conservation areas have exceptions, we check before we quote.
Panel performance, free replacement parts, Aviva-backed insurance, and downtime cover. If output drops, we fix it, no call-out charges.
What if I rent or have a mortgage?
Is zero upfront really ownership?
You need the freeholder's consent. For mortgaged homes, your lender usually requires written notification — we've handled hundreds of these.
Yes. CBG Plus means you own the system from day one — not after 10 years of payments. The fixed monthly fee covers finance only.
How long does installation take?
Will solar work on UK winter days?
A typical home install is one day. Larger commercial systems run two to five days. You get a firm schedule before we book a date.
Panels generate from daylight, not direct sun. Output drops in December but never stops. Annual savings projections include winter months.
