If you’ve been considering installing solar panels into your house there’s one question that generally dominates over all others. This does it have to be certain for the solar panel to actually work. It stands to reason that something with the name solar in it will need a constant supply of sunlight. As solar panels, or photovoltaic cells as they are properly known, require a source of light to heat the elements and therefore charge the batteries inside them, sunlight is obviously a minimal requirement. Companies like the Solar Panel Installation Burnham based redbridgeandsons.co.uk/solar-pv-panels/solar-panel-installers-burnham are in a great position to come and help you decide where and how you want the panels installed. In this way they also answered the second most asked question: will they look obtrusive on my house?
The answer to both these questions is no and no. Solar panels are becoming a commonly accepted addition to any house and in many cases some people will actively look to try and find a house that has them. The reason for this is because houses with solar panels are generally very energy efficient.

Solar panels only require a minimum amount of light to work and generate electricity. Even if you experience a series of overcast days and rain you will still find that the flow of electricity is just the same. That’s not to say that a dose of direct sunlight will help to really boost the batteries and give the panels a good source.
