Services
Solar PV Installation
Ard Solar Pv designs and installs photovoltaic systems for homes and businesses. Our expert team ensures seamless roof integration without compromising structural integrity. Systems generate clean electricity, reducing energy bills and qualifying for Feed-in Tariff payments. Domestic installations benefit from 5% VAT, with guaranteed returns over 25 years.
Servicing & Repairs
We offer comprehensive maintenance and repair services for solar panels, inverters, and meters. Regular servicing ensures optimal performance and longevity. Fault diagnostics include inverter checks, generation meter testing, and earth fault resolution. Our team addresses issues like RCD tripping and underperforming systems across Cumbria and surrounding areas.
Inverter Replacement
Solar inverters are critical for converting DC power to usable AC electricity. We repair or replace faulty inverters, ensuring system efficiency. Our solutions include modern upgrades compatible with existing panels. The SOLiC 200 model optimises energy use by diverting excess power to water heating, reducing grid export and annual energy costs.
Battery Installation
We supply and install AC/DC solar battery systems from leading brands like Tesla and LG. Storage solutions maximise self-consumption of generated electricity, reducing reliance on grid power. Systems integrate with existing PV arrays, enabling energy use during nighttime or outages. Brands include Solax, PureDrive, and Tesla Powerwall.
Export Tariff Assistance
Our team guides clients through Feed-in Tariff applications, ensuring eligibility for generation and export payments. We explain current rates (16p/kWh generation, 4.5p/kWh export) and handle documentation. This service guarantees income streams for 20-25 years, index-linked to inflation for long-term financial benefits.
Questions
How do solar PV systems generate electricity?
Solar panels convert sunlight into DC electricity, which an inverter converts to AC power for home use or grid export.
What financial benefits do solar panels offer?
Systems reduce energy bills by 7-10% annually and qualify for Feed-in Tariff payments guaranteed for 25 years.
Can solar panels work on cloudy days?
Yes, panels generate electricity even in overcast conditions, though output decreases compared to sunny days.
How long do solar PV systems last?
Panels typically operate effectively for over 40 years with minimal efficiency loss during their lifespan.
Do I need planning permission for installation?
Most domestic installations in England don't require planning permission under permitted development rights.
What maintenance do solar systems require?
Annual inspections and cleaning ensure optimal performance, though systems are designed for minimal ongoing maintenance.
