Install Solar Photovoltaic Panels on your home and dramatically reduce your energy bills!
Stonebarrow is a leading solar panel installer and solar energy specialist. With experience in designing, commissioning and installing solar panels for homeowners across Poole, Bournemouth, Wimborne and the whole of Dorset and beyond for more than twenty years.
The beauty of solar lies in its simplicity, a carbon neutral technology with the ability to turn continuous, natural daylight into powerful and reliable energy for your home. As well as saving you money on your energy bills, solar panels can also earn you money. And don’t worry, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days.
Solar panels aren’t just great for your bank balance, either. Using the clean, renewable energy the panels generate is one of the biggest steps you can take in reducing your carbon footprint. It’s also why the government has scrapped all VAT on solar panel installations until 2027!

Your Investment in Installing Solar Panels
Solar Energy does not fluctuate like normal energy prices. It is a one-time fixed price for the installation which will pay for itself in the medium to long term.
Can I Install Solar Panels on My Roof?
Due to the technology used in the UK, the answer is more often than not – yes. Solar panel technology has increased the amount of production by as much as 25%.
If you have investigated installing solar panels on your roof in the past and were advised against it, then look again? The latest solar panel technology has reduced many of the old issues of shading or lack of roof space. So, it is worth finding out if you now have the perfect roof so you can start reducing your energy costs.
Do I Need to Get Planning Permission?
You generally won’t need to obtain planning permission. In England and Wales, the Government’s Planning Portal states that panels are likely to be considered as ‘permitted development’ . Therefore, you do not usually need to apply for planning permission. The big exceptions are: if your property has a flat roof, is listed or is in a conservation area. In these cases, you might need to get approval from your council’s building control team, so check with your local authority.
How does it work?
Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries for use during the night.
Modern solar panels work reasonably well in cloudy weather, even though the light on cloudy days isn’t as strong. And surprisingly, rain can even make solar panels work better as the rain washes away any dust or dirt. Dust and dirt might reduce the amount of light reaching the photovoltaic cells.
How long will my solar panels last?
As solar panels have no moving parts, very little service and maintenance is required. Unlike a boiler, your solar panels should work efficiently without an annual service. As we get enough rain in the UK you do not usually need to clean them. There are checks you can perform if you think your solar panels are not producing enough energy. Solar panel warranties vary, depending on the manufacturer and model you decide on. Generally, you will find that the panels themselves will be covered for 10-25 years. Solar panels tend to last for 25-30 years, that’s at least 25 years of lower energy bills. Even better, the panels won’t simply stop working after several decades. However, inverters will probably need to be changed after 10 to 15 years.
