It is absolutely sunny enough to have solar panels in Reading. 15 years ago, if you wanted solar panels on the roof, the answer would have been no. But modern solar technology no longer uses direct sunlight to generate electricity, now only daylight is needed, so now the answer is a resounding yes.

Even with the usual overcast days we have in the UK, solar panels are now more than capable of delivering the energy output required to see the same up to 70% reduction in energy bills that we have already seen for our customers in Reading.

Solar panels don’t need any direct sunlight to function, they only need daylight. So, whether the sun is shining, or the sky is grey enough to ruin the festival, your solar panels will still generate free, clean electricity for your home.

The final piece of the solar jigsaw is installing a storage battery system to complement the solar system. This lets you store the energy your panels have produced during the day, and then continue to use it once the sun has gone down.

Evergen are a member of EVPS which means any production and savings figures that we provide are fully validated by this independent 3rd party. So, when we say it is sunny enough in Manchester for solar panels, we actually guarantee that it is!
