Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

About Solar Panels

Most grid-connected systems automatically shut down during a power cut for safety reasons. However, if you have a battery with backup capability, limited power can be available.

Costs, Savings and Payback

Yes. Homes with solar systems are often more attractive to buyers due to lower running costs and improved energy efficiency.

Savings depend on your energy usage, tariff rates and system size, but many homeowners reduce their bills by 50% or more.

Installation and Property

Most domestic installations are completed within one to two days, depending on system size and roof access.

Solar panels can be mounted on frames angled towards the sun, making them suitable for most flat roofs.

Yes. Temporary scaffolding is usually required for safe access during installation. It’s included as part of our service.

Warranties and Aftercare

Yes. Many inverters include online or app-based monitoring, allowing for energy production to be tracked from anywhere.

Thermify

Thermify is a clean-tech innovation that connects the digital world to home energy. Its HeatHub system captures the waste heat produced by cloud computing and reuses it to provide space heating and hot water.

  1. Cloud Workloads → HeatHub Compute:
    Everyday digital tasks from data processing to AI training are sent to Thermify’s distributed computing units.
  2. Computing → Heat Generation:
    These small, secure modules perform real computing jobs, generating heat as a by-product.
  3. Heat Capture & Transfer:
    The HeatHub captures that heat and transfers it into the home’s hot-water and central-heating circuit (radiators or underfloor).
  4. Home Heating:
    The recovered heat then provides space heating and hot water, cutting emissions and helping to reduce running costs versus conventional fossil-fuel heating.

In simple terms, Thermify takes something the world already produces in huge quantities – computing heat – and turns it into a low-carbon source of warmth for homes, using the same energy twice instead of throwing it away.
