Harness energy from the sun with zero emissions

Solar Panel Systems

Solar panel systems are made up of multiple panels, with each generating around 350 Watts of energy in strong sunlight.

The panels create direct current (DC) electricity. Alternating current (AC) is the form of electricity we use every day, so an Inverter is installed as part of the system to convert DC to AC. The end result is electricity which can be used throughout your home or sold back to the grid.

Solar & Battery Storage

It's always worth considering if storing the renewable energy you create will cost in and deliver additional benefits when investing in solar. It’s not always the right solution, but can help your system pay for itself faster and brings you one step closer to becoming energy independent.

Is solar suitable for me?

For roof installations, a South facing roof is ideal, East or West facing can be considered, but North facing is not recommended. How much space you need will depend on how much electricity you want to generate.

Having a battery or batteries installed as part of the system will give you the option of storing surplus electricity as opposed to selling it back to the grid.

Most of the time, you don't need planning permission to install solar panels, but there are exceptions. We can help you to check viability with the relevant authorities.
