FAQ

Get in the know about the Clearvolt movement...

What business benefits can I experience from going solar?

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.

How do solar panels work?

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.

How much do solar panels cost?

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.

Can solar power charge an electric car?

Absolutely, solar panels can generate enough power to charge an electric car, making your staff’s commute even more eco-friendly.

Will solar power work on cloudy days?

Yes, although solar panels are most effective in direct sunlight, they can still generate power on cloudy days.

How does solar power help the environment?

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.

Which solar power company is the best?

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.

What is the lifespan of a solar panel system?

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.

How do I maintain my solar panel system?

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.

What happens if a panel is damaged?

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.

What is the process to switch my business to solar power?

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.

Do I need any special permissions or permits to install solar panels?

Permit requirements vary by location. ClearVolt will assist you in identifying the appropriate permits and navigating through the application process.

Does Clearvolt provide assistance with any necessary permissions or permits?

Yes, Clearvolt will handle all the necessary paperwork and permissions to ensure a seamless transition to solar energy.

Can my business still operate during the solar panel installation process?

Yes, we strive to ensure minimal disruption to your operations during the installation process.

Does Clearvolt offer any warranties or guarantees on their solar systems?

Absolutely, Clearvolt provides a comprehensive warranty on our systems, covering components and workmanship, ensuring your peace of mind.

How does Clearvolt's energy rate compare to standard grid rates?

Clearvolt’s energy rate is typically lower than standard grid rates, offering cost savings alongside the environmental benefits.

What if my business needs more power than the solar panels can generate?

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.

Can I sell excess energy back to the grid?

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.

What is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and how does it work?

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.

How does Clearvolt support my business in achieving its sustainability goals?

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.

What other energy efficiency solutions does Clearvolt provide?
