Reduce your Carbon Footprint - Solar panels produce renewable energy, helping to minimise greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional fossil fuels. By switching to solar, households and businesses can contribute to global efforts in combating climate change.
Lower Energy Bills - By generating your own electricity, you can significantly cut your energy bills.
Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. The generated electricity can be used to power your home, store it in batteries for later use, or sell any excess to the national grid. PV panels come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours.

We will talk about your needs and a budget that you may have in mind, then evaluate your options using Easy PV to design your solar system.
Once complete we can then tweak the system and make alterations if required until you are happy with the setup. When you are happy and have given us the go ahead then we will carry out a more detailed survey of the property to ensure all is ok to proceed. This will ensure a smooth installation process, with no surprises.
The process (in a bit more detail) …
Installation
Home installations can take between 2-5 days depending on the size, number of batteries etc.
Scaffolding is likely to be required – we are more than happy to arrange this on your behalf but if you would rather source, this we are more than happy to work with this.
