FAQ
Get in the know about the Clearvolt movement...
By going solar, businesses stand to benefit in several ways:
Cost Savings: Solar power can significantly reduce your electricity bills. With Clearvolt’s competitive energy rate, businesses can expect to save even more.
Energy Independence: Solar power reduces your reliance on the grid, making your business more resilient to energy price increases and power outages.
Sustainable Branding: Going solar shows your commitment to sustainability, enhancing your brand’s image via CSR, ESG and a proficient EPC rating, therefore potentially attracting environmentally conscious customers.
Predictable Energy Costs: Solar power can make your energy costs more predictable, especially when paired with a battery storage system, which provides power even when the sun isn’t shining.
Property Value: Solar installations can increase the value of your property.
Solar panels work by allowing particles of light, or photons, to knock electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity. This process is called the photovoltaic effect.
The cost of solar panels can vary depending on the size and type of the system, and the region. However, at Clearvolt, we provide solar panels with zero upfront cost, including free installation and maintenance.
Absolutely, solar panels can generate enough power to charge an electric car, making your staff’s commute even more eco-friendly.
Yes, although solar panels are most effective in direct sunlight, they can still generate power on cloudy days.
Solar power reduces reliance on fossil fuels, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and helping to combat climate change. It also reduces air pollution, contributing to healthier communities.
At Clearvolt, we believe we offer a unique proposition. Our leasing model, coupled with zero upfront costs, free installation, maintenance, and competitive energy rates, makes us a compelling choice for businesses looking to make the switch to renewable energy.
Solar panel systems typically last between 25 to 30 years, but this doesn’t mean they stop producing electricity after that period. It just means their energy production will decrease by what solar panel manufacturers consider optimal to meet the rated power.
Solar panel systems require little maintenance. The most you’ll have to do generally is ensure they’re kept clean and aren’t shaded by surrounding trees or structures. In the case of any technical issues, our team at ClearVolt is always on standby to assist you.
Should a panel be damaged, it’s often more cost-effective to replace it rather than repair it. With Clearvolt’s comprehensive maintenance and insurance plan, we ensure your panels are always in optimal condition, limiting any potential downtime.
The first step is to conduct a site survey and energy usage assessment. We then design a system tailored to your needs and manage the installation process. Afterward, we oversee the connection to the grid and the final commissioning of your system.
Permit requirements vary by location. ClearVolt will assist you in identifying the appropriate permits and navigating through the application process.
Yes, Clearvolt will handle all the necessary paperwork and permissions to ensure a seamless transition to solar energy.
Yes, we strive to ensure minimal disruption to your operations during the installation process.
Absolutely, Clearvolt provides a comprehensive warranty on our systems, covering components and workmanship, ensuring your peace of mind.
Clearvolt’s energy rate is typically lower than standard grid rates, offering cost savings alongside the environmental benefits.
If your power demands exceed the capacity of your solar system, you can still use grid power. Our systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with the grid to ensure your power supply is uninterrupted.
Yes, if your system produces more energy than you use, the excess can be fed back into the grid. Depending on your location and local regulations, you may be paid for this excess energy.
A PPA is a financial agreement where ClearVolt arranges for the design, permitting, financing, and installation of a solar energy system on a customer’s property at no cost. The customer buys the system’s electric output from Clearvolt for a predetermined period.
By switching to solar, your business can dramatically reduce its carbon footprint. We also offer additional services such as energy efficiency consulting and smart grid technology to help optimise your energy use and further your sustainability efforts.
In addition to solar power systems, Clearvolt offers energy efficiency consulting, smart grid technology, and advanced energy storage solutions, EV charging, heat source pumps, and energy efficient lighting.
Clearvolt uses only high-quality, durable materials and components in our systems. Additionally, our expert installation and regular maintenance services ensure your system is always running at peak efficiency.
Clearvolt stands out for its comprehensive, customised solutions, competitive pricing, and exceptional customer service. Our advanced technology and commitment to sustainability make us the ideal choice for businesses looking to transition to renewable energy.
We start with an initial consultation to understand your energy needs. From there, we design and install your custom solar solution, help you secure the necessary permissions and permits, and provide ongoing maintenance and support to ensure your system is always performing optimally.
