Domestic solar PV systems are suitable for most homes in the UK – all you need is some unshaded roof space with a southerly aspect. Solar PV panels are a great way to generate your own renewable energy and save money on your electricity bills. And with the Feed-in Tariff scheme in place you can now earn a significant amount of money each year by generating your own renewable energy.
Our installation team are more than happy to do a site visit to discuss the options with you – and we’ll always let you know if we don’t think your roof is suitable! We can then provide a tailored quote and proposal specific to your individual requirements.
As a local company we’re very responsive to your needs and time scales, and pride ourselves on providing quality products at competitive prices. We’re fully MCS certified and a member of the REAL assurance scheme, as well as winning multiple environmental awards across the business.
Why not try our solar PV calculator to work the payback of a solar PV system. The Solar Calculator will help you find out how much you could earn and save through solar electricity panels, using the Feed in Tariff scheme.
Please note that the figures given here are only indicative and for a more specific proposal please contact us and we would be more than happy to arrange a free, no obligation site survey. Contact us or call 01432 860644 to speak to a member of the team.

The Strakers were already converts to solar power, having installed their solar thermal panels in 1999. Their well insulated, modern home uses energy efficiently, helping David and Jane to minimise their carbon emissions.
David said on his newest installation, “We are very pleased with the PV installation which went ahead with the minimum of disruption. We are confident this will be a worthwhile investment for us financially as well as helping us reduce our carbon footprint. It’s most satisfying to check the monitor each day”
