Solar and Renewable Energy
Solar-powered homes are the future. With fossil fuels rapidly running out and greenhouse gases giving the Earth a hard time, it’s no surprise that so many people are turning to the sun.
Solar panels will completely transform your energy bills, and the new Smart Export Guarantee launched on 1st January 2020, meaning more money for households exporting renewable energy.
Home Solar Panels
Most installations are completed within a day but some larger jobs will take a little longer. We can let you know once we know the size of the system you need.
We'll put your scaffolding up a few days before your solar installation and take it down a few days after and we'll always make sure we leave your property clean and tidy.
Renewable Energy Installation
There is a lot to consider before and after installing a renewable system, but having one at home will help reduce your energy bills and household carbon footprint.
Solar thermal panels harness the power of sunlight to heat hot water. They work by using the sun to heat the temperature of liquid in the panels, which is then used to heat water in a tank ready for you to use. They’re best installed on south-facing roofs, which aren’t shaded by trees or other buildings. Solar water heating can be installed alongside other hot-water heating systems, though aren't so easy to combine with a combi boiler. They’re cheaper to install than other renewable systems but only heat water, so you’ll need another system to heat your home. You can also use solar panels to generate electricity. These can help to power your appliances, cutting your electricity bills. Any electricity you generate but don’t use will be fed into the national grid. You’ll be paid for this, although a new scheme is set to replace the feed-in tariff in 2019.
