If you live in areas like Preston, Manchester, or Liverpool, you may have heard some things about solar power that just aren’t true. Let’s clear up the confusion and help you understand the real benefits.

Myth 1: Solar Panels Don’t Work in Cloudy Weather

Reality: Solar panels rely on daylight, not direct sunlight. In the North West’s cloudy climate, panels still produce electricity effectively. Countries with similar weather, like Germany, generate large amounts of solar energy.

Myth 2: Solar Panels Are Too Expensive

Reality: The upfront cost has decreased significantly over the years. Plus, with government incentives like zero VAT and the Smart Export Guarantee, solar is more affordable than ever.

Myth 3: Solar Panels Require a Lot of Maintenance

Reality: Solar panels are low-maintenance. Most systems come with warranties for 20-25 years, and cleaning is rarely needed except in extreme cases.

Myth 4: Solar Panels Will Damage Your Roof

Reality: Properly installed panels can actually protect your roof from weather damage. Experienced installers ensure your roof remains safe and sound.

Myth 5: Solar Isn’t Worth It Because I Use Most Power at Night

Reality: Pairing solar panels with battery storage allows you to store excess energy generated during the day and use it at night, maximising your savings.
