Solar PV

We are accredited installers for Solar and Batteries

Solar PV

We are MCS registered Solar PV installers. We carryout both commercial and Domestic Solar PV works. Our team deliver projects from design, installation through to handover of Solar PV. We deliver projects from as little as 1kWp right up to 1mWp, there’s no job to large or small.

We install a range of Panels and Inverters to suit and clients needs. Solis, Growatt, Solax, Solar Edge (some insurance company’s specify that they want Solar edge as these panels can be shut off using the optimisers).

Solar electricity panels, also known as photovoltaics (PV), capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity that you can use in your home.
By installing solar panels, you can generate your own renewable electricity.

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 15 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 exported to the grid.

Do you have enough Space?

Space is a key consideration. The average system size is around 4.2kWp and this will typically take up around 25m2 roof area.
An unshaded, South facing roof is ideal for maximum electrical output. East or West facing roofs could still be considered, but North facing roofs are not recommended. A system facing East or West will yield around 15-20% less energy than one facing directly South.


Any nearby buildings, trees or chimneys could shade your roof and have a negative impact on the performance of your system.
Finding an unshaded spot is best, however sometimes shading is unavoidable. Some solar PV systems can minimise the impact of shading using ‘optimisers’. If you don’t have shading, the use of optimisers is not necessary or beneficial, other than the increased monitoring opportunities they offer – they won’t generate more energy.

Solar With a Battery

Solar panels make wonderful use of the Earth’s natural resources – but you have to use the power they produce straight away, or it will be wasted.A typical household ends up wasting around half of this money-saving, completely renewable energy.
By purchasing a solar battery, you can cut an extra 0.42 tonnes of greenhouse gases from your carbon footprint, and save another £186 per year on your energy bills.


This storage device can also help you become more energy independent, which could mean the days of stress and worry at the thought of price spikes and power cuts are over.A solar battery is a device that allows you to store the excess electricity your solar panels generate, so you can use or sell this energy at a later time.Unless you or the people you live with are at home and using electricity every minute of every day, you’ll have solar power that goes unused.Typically, you’ll lose 50% of the electricity produced by your solar panels this way – but not when you have a solar battery.

How does a solar battery work?

A solar battery works as an overflow storage unit. When sunlight hits solar panels, they turn this natural resource into direct current (DC) electricity, before converting it into alternating current (AC) electricity that powers your home.
And when your home is fully powered, any excess solar energy will be rerouted to charge your battery, in much the same way you charge your phone.


After the sun goes down and you can’t actively draw power from your panels, it’ll be time for your solar battery to shine, providing you with all the energy it’s gathered.This will happen automatically, with your panels and battery seamlessly passing the baton between them, so you won’t need to worry about monitoring the system.The sun's time in the sky and the times you use energy at home don't line up perfectly, and a battery solves this problem.
