Sectors We Cover
Residential Homes
Solar PV and Battery Storage is the perfect retrofit solution to reduce your reliance on using energy from the grid. You can become more energy independent by using your roof to generate solar energy, storing excess energy in a battery, and then utilising this for free at times when you would otherwise draw from the grid. Our technical team will help to specify the right system to meet the current and future demands of your home, reducing your dependency on drawing energy from the grid. As a fully MCS certified company, we know what it takes to deliver compliant and safe installations.
New Build Homes
Installing Solar PV has almost become a necessity on new build homes to meet modern energy targets. When building a new home, it would be remiss not to try and make the property as energy independent as possible, budget dependent. Our technical team specialises in working with you to determine your energy usage, sizing our Solar PV systems accordingly to futureproof your new home and help you to live more independently from drawing energy from the grid. As a fully MCS certified company, we know what it takes to deliver compliant and safe installations.
Commercial Projects
Commercial and industrial buildings have been hampered by ongoing energy price increases. These often-high energy use buildings are often perfect for Solar PV thanks to extensive roof spans. We work on commercial projects of all sizes, and we initiate a feasibility study before designing the correct size system for your business. Investing in Solar PV and battery storage may help to reduce your dependence on drawing electricity from the grid and when the capital cost is depreciated over the life of the system, it may be possible to achieve a payback in less than 2 years (depending on usage).

Our Products
Tigo
Tigo are manufacturers of solar panel optimisers. It may be prudent to consider optimising individual solar panels when there is a risk of shading. A traditional string of solar panels will only be as powerful as the weakest performing panel when shaded, whereas optimisers limit the impact of shading across the whole string by maintaining the performance of each individual panel. Tigo Optimisers are reliable and trustworthy, growing to become on of the largest manufacturers of this type of technology.
Hanchu ESS
Greenlinx Batteries by Hanchu ESS are the compatible storage system to work in unison with the LuxPowerTek Inverters. Backed with a 10-Year Warranty and in modules of 3.2KWh, Greenlinx batteries are flexible and stackable which means that you can add up to 6 further batteries in the future should your storage requirements change. Unlike some larger battery storage systems, the Greenlinx batteries are relatively small modules that are easier to install without taking up too much space.
LuxPowerTek
LuxPowerTek are a leading provider of Inverters for Solar PV or Battery-Only Installations. With seamless integration to the Octopus Energy platform, the system automatically identifies the best times to import and store energy which helps to make your Solar PV and Battery Storage system extremely efficient. Backed with a minimum 10-Year Warranty and an easy to navigate monitoring app, we endorse and use LuxPowerTek on many of our installations..
JA Solar
Our default Solar PV panel is manufactured by JA Solar, a respected and trusted brand of solar panel that is now one of the most used in the UK. Most Solar PV panels have similar performance but in a crowded market, JA Solar have worked hard to deliver consistent supply to the UK market, and they provide a wide range of wattages to ensure that your roof space is fully utilised. With a range of panel sizes, colours and options, we use, like and endorse JA Solar as a reliable brand.

FAQs
For the average sized house with a 4KW system, you should budget between £5000-£7000 for the Panels and Inverter to be installed. If you are considering battery storage as well, you should budget between £9000-£12000 depending on the size of the batteries. The average UK home should see a return on their investment between 6-9 years at current electricity rates.
Solar Panels should not damage your roof once installed. We have to check the structural condition of the roof prior to commencing works to ensure that it is capable of holding the additional weight. The Solar PV panels are mounted onto lightweight aluminium rails that are fixed to the roof by attaching hooks under the tiles.
The UK Solar PV market is extremely busy at the moment and stock levels are somewhat compromised! Whilst this situation is easing a little, there is usually a 4-6 week lead in time from acceptance of the quote to installation. We kindly ask for a 50% deposit on acceptance of the quote and at that stage we order and secure all of the hardware and components. They may not always be in stock but we’ll pay for them and secure the supply chain on your behalf.
There are now so many reliable brands on the market and we certainly don’t have a particular favourite provided the hardware is reliable, easy to install and comes with the appropriate warranties. Some of our customers may have done their research and may favour a particular brand of inverter or battery, however, most of the panels themselves operate effectively no matter what brand you choose. We will always try to advise our customers on the best choice to fit within their budgets.
Most modern inverters come with App or Web-based monitoring platforms. We, as your installer, will be able to keep an eye on the system performance remotely and we will set you up on the app so that you can also keep an eye on things. Ultimately , the system should be configured to fulfil the demand of the house during the day, directly from panels or to prioritise filling up the battery first before drawing energy from the grid. The battery should usually be prioritised to draw energy from over the grid. If all of these things are happening, your system should be working!
For the average UK home where 8-16 panels are being installed along with an inverter and battery, the install should be complete within a day. There are many factors tom consider such as access to the roof, the electrical run and having good access to the location where the inverter and battery is to be installed. We don’t rush our installs and if it takes longer than a day, it takes longer. We prefer for you to be in during the install in case we have any questions or need access to your house.
