Solar PV panels (also known as Solar Photoltaic or Solar Electricity Panels) capture the natural daylight and convert the sun’s energy into electricity, which reduces both your electricity bills and your CO2 emissions. You also earn money for every unit of electricity you generate for 25 years through the feed-in tarrif.

Whilst south is the ideal orientation for solar pv panels, your roof must face between east, south and west for a good PV system. Above all, your roof must not be shaded.
You generally don't need planning permission to install Solar PV Panels: they're normally classed as a "permitted development" (with exceptions for listed buildings, conservation areas or AONBs).
We use Mitsubishi panels, which have been proven to have outstanding performance.
The installation of Solar PV Panels on a south (or near south) facing roof is normally finished within 2 days. However, sometimes extra electrical work needs to be carried out and scaffolding engineering varies per house.
As soon as the panels have been installed you can start using the electricity they produce, reducing the need to buy so much from your current supplier. You also start earning money for every unit of electricity you generate.
Solar PV Panels use the sun to generate electricity, which connect to your appliances through an inverter. The inverter ensures output from the panels runs at a slightly higher voltage, which means your appliances use the panel's electricity before your own, reducing your energy consumption. If you don't use all the electricity you generate it is exported to the national grid.
Because the amount of electricity the panels generate varies with external light conditions, the output is always averaged over the year.
Solar PV Panels bring a lot of benefits to your home and your household. With just the one system, you can effectively reduce your electricity bills, increase the value of your home, earn money and become more eco-friendly.
Solar PV Panels typically provide 50% of your electricity, so you avoid the cost of purchasing that electricity from your supplier. Also, you can protect against future price increases.
With the feed-in tariff, you get paid for every unit you generate – whether you use it or you don't. For more information and advice on possible returns call us today on 0147 346 7188.
Solar PV is a great way to become greener, reducing your carbon emissions by up to 1 tonne per year.
Solar PV is proven to be a reliable technology. Our panels carry a 25 year performance warranty and a 5 year manufacturers warranty. We do recommend a visual check every month to ensure everything looks fine.
With the feed-in tariff for low carbon electricity you earn a fixed income for every unit of electricity you generate. If you don't use the electricity, the tariff provides an additional sum for each unit.
This means that, typically, solar PV panels could pay for itself within 7 years and earn money for 18 more years.
