Add battery storage and self-consumption can exceed 70%. ### Council Climate Goals Rochdale Borough Council's Sustainability & Climate Change Strategy aims to reach net-zero by 2038. Installing solar directly supports this local target. ### 0% Finance Available Flexible, interest-free payment plans (subject to status) make solar affordable for every Rochdale household. ## How Solar Panels Work 1 Photovoltaic cells capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC). 2 An inverter transforms DC into alternating current (AC) used in your home. 3 Batteries store excess power for use at night. 4 Surplus is exported to the grid under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which pays you for exported electricity. Even on overcast days, Rochdale's moderate daylight hours are sufficient for high-efficiency generation. ![Solar panel system diagram](/assets/solar-installation-C1HQoqs6.jpg) ## Solar Panel Costs & Savings System Size Typical Cost Annual Output Est.
