Our trusted advice and expert installation can help you get all the benefits of a modern Solar PV solution.
Our solutions are suitable for:
Hybrid Systems now available.
We now install very high efficiency Hybrid Solar Systems that include state of the art inverters with vastly improved functionality. Our customers are now able to join Octopus Energy and benefit from the best export rates on the market.
We provide a complete service including sitting with our customers at the end of each install to assist in the on-boarding process with Octopus Energy. These new export tariffs have really changed the game in terms of efficiency and payback periods as they come with heavily discounted electricity prices between 12:30 and 4:00 AM.
Our new inverters can be set to charge the battery storage using this cheap power from the grid each night meaning that a lack of sunlight is no longer such a problem. Simply put – if the sun hasn’t filed your battery then the half price grid power will. This can then be used to power your home for the coming day. Funds paid to you from your exported power can be used to build a kitty to pay for any energy you draw from the grid in darker months. If you have a hot water tank, we can really boost efficiency and cut payback periods further as we can install an immersion diverter to send excess solar energy into your water tank to be stored as heat energy meaning less use of gas. Many of our customers use zero gas to heat their water between spring and winter. Your system can be viewed via the mobile phone app where you can see real time info and solar performance.
Living off-grid and being independent of utility companies is feasible and achievable.

What is Solar PV?
Solar PV refers to photo voltaic panels which produce electricity when sunlight shines on them. the panels are made up of multiple cells which contain a mixture of metals and chemicals that react to sunlight by creating an electrical charge which can be stored and used to power electrical appliances and lights etc.

FAQs
YES, absolutely! it is entirely feasible to operate as normal using Free Solar energy alone.
Solar PV refers to photo voltaic panels which produce electricity when sunlight shines on them. The panels are made up of multiple cells which contain a mixture of metals and chemicals that react to sunlight by creating an electrical charge which can be stored and used to power electrical appliances and lights etc.
Independence from utility companies, negate electricity price increases, clean free energy as nature intended, power cuts are no problem, improves energy rating of property and increases value. Lowers pollution and helps businesses reach green targets and reduce carbon foot print.
To be suitable for solar, a site must tick some boxes. You’ll need either some roof space or an area of land reasonably close to the location of your property, building , business to mount the solar panels on. the cost of cable is constantly increasing so whilst we are able to run underground cables for several hundred metres this does become expensive. the sun rises in the east and sets in the west so ideally the solar array will face as close to south as possible although anywhere between east and west can be used. multiple arrays can be installed also to make the most of the sunshine coming from all angles. your property will need space for a battery bank. we design the size and shape of this bank for each customer to utilise the smallest space possible.
In most cases no planning permission is required to install solar panels are they are considered permitted development. There are some rules regarding height of panels however and we will assess your needs with this in mind.
In addition, the following documents are required to legalise your system; those are, DNO Approval, Electrical Connection Certificate and Building Control Compliance Certificate, all of which we provide on every job.
You will be able to monitor performance of your off grid system and see in real time how many units of power (Watts) you are using at any moment. it is very interesting to see how different appliances behave and consume power and you will be able to see every device, appliance, light bulb when in use. also you will be able to check battery storage at a glance and see how much power your system has produced for free.
We provide a full guarantee on our installation and manufactures warranty on all equipment. As an example the solar panels themselves have a 20 year warranty. Other equipment varies from 4 to 10 years and we are on very good terms with our suppliers so in the rare event of a malfunction we will replace any faulty device for free whilst in the manufacturers warranty period.
We perform a free 1 year inspection on all installations and charge a small amount for further annual inspections. our customers are able to contact us at any time for support during and after the build.
Yes, we are happy to carry out repairs, maintenance and/or upgrades on your existing system.
FAQs cont.
Our experience has shown us that the average 3 bed home requires around 4 – 6 kw of solar array to become independent of the grid.
An average cost for installing a hybrid system including batteries on a 3 bed house will be between 11 to 15k although we do install smaller systems which result in a property becoming partially off-grid.
Our systems operate for the most part automatically and are extremely low maintenance. As a customer you will be able to monitor the performance of your system in real-time. The system is fully automated and does not require input, however, you are able to make any adjustments you feel necessary via the cloud app.
On average our systems pay for themselves within 5-6 years at current energy prices.
Yes, it’s never been a better time to do this as the prices for export are the highest they’ve ever been. As an example, Octupus energy now offer 15p per unit sold back to them.
As part of our service we organise and finalise this process for you.
Energy can be stored in your battery bank for long periods and how efficiently you run your house will determine how long your stored power will last, however our systems are designed to cater for all of your night time needs.
With proper maintenance your system will last for many years. panels last for over 20 years before they begin to drop a small percentage each year in efficiency. batteries will last far beyond manufacturers warranty periods as we design each install to operate bellow its full power thus reducing stress on the system which increases longevity.
Yes, we provide free assessments and quotations. we do not employ the use of a salesman and there is no obligation or pressure at any point.
We have excellent relationships with several national solar equipment manufacturers and are able to bring the latest Off Grid technology to our customers.
We have been designing and installing solar systems since 2015.
