Learn How UK Homeowners Are Becoming Inflation Proof

Why Choose Solar ?

Research shows that in the next 6-18 months UK electrical and utility rates will double or triple, leaving the UK homeowner at the mercy of sky-high costs of living.

Solar provides an option that allows you to control your own electricity, and to have control over your monthly bill. This not only proofs you from rocketing prices and inflation in the UK, but gives you plenty of other tangible benefits with increased property value, a lower monthly payment, and the ability to apply for the SEG scheme to be paid for your excess energy production.

The Benefits of Solar

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.

We create a tailored design and solar proposal for you, for free.

A remote site survey is one of the essential aspects of planning or designing a successful solar system. It’s possible we need to come out and inspect your roof and we will communicate that if so.

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 remote 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

We will pass your information onto our in-house high-end design team to create a design plan for your installation
