WHY CHOOSE SOLAR?
Solar energy is a renewable energy source, meaning you don’t ever use it up. Solar energy is clean. It creates no carbon emissions or other heat-trapping “greenhouse” gases. It avoids the environmental damage associated with mining or drilling for fossil fuels and is now the fastest growing source of renewable energy.
Solar Panels are more affordable than ever, and we have multiple solutions and finance options to suit all budgets.
Receive payments for any extra electricity you generate.
Solar power is in high demand, and the number of households choosing to make the switch to Solar has reached its highest level in seven years in the first months of 2023 with installation figures doubling from those of 2022.
Solar panels are an investment that you will see a return on. They also enable you to save money on your energy bills whilst helping you to protect the planet.
Increase the value of your property.
ECO Friendly homes are becoming more and more desirable.
How do solar panels work?
A solar PV panel consists of many cells made from layers of semi-conducting material, most commonly silicon. When light shines on this material, a flow of electricity is created.
The cells don’t need direct sunlight to work and can even work on cloudy days. However, the stronger the sunshine, the more electricity generated.
Solar PV systems are made up of several panels, with each panel generating around 355W of energy in strong sunlight. Typical systems contain around 10 panels and generate direct current (DC) electricity. Because the electricity used for household appliances is alternating current (AC), an inverter is installed along with the system to convert DC electricity to AC. This electricity can be used throughout your home or can be exported to the grid.
With any domestic PV system, there will be times when the electricity you generate is more than you can use or store, so the surplus will be exported to the grid to be used by somebody else. If you want to be paid for exporting, you need to make sure you’re getting an export payment.
In Great Britain, the Smart Export Guarantee pays you for the electricity you generate.

Survey – not all installers offer a site survey but we do and here’s why
We have your info; you have your quote. Next step is survey. Simply select a date that suits you from our online calendar and one of our experienced surveyors will visit your property and carry out a full comprehensive survey, just as a final check to establish that your property is suitable for Solar.
The site survey is one of the essential aspects of planning or designing a successful solar system. This shouldn’t take longer than an hour, so there’s very little disruption, although we will need access to your loft space.
It’s highly unusual that your roof won’t be eligible for solar, but if your survey highlights any issues one of our team will be in touch.
The survey will establish the following –
- Roof measurements and data, including Pitch and Orientation
- Solar exposure through shading analysis
- Visual inspection of roof conditions and obstructions
- Information about the electrical system to determine interconnection methods
- Structural information such as rafter sizing and spacing
The cost of the survey is £100 which will be taken off your final balance if you decide to proceed. If the surveyor finds an issue with your roof and the install can’t proceed, the £100 survey fee will be returned to you, so technically it won’t actually cost you a penny.
There are some installers who will proceed to install without a site survey, but we feel it’s a vital part of the process and necessary to design an optimal and profitable Solar System.
