My Green Electricity: solar panel and battery installation in Yorkshire

My Green Electricity is a company based in Pontefract (West Yorkshire) that designs and installs solar and battery storage systems for homes and businesses. The firm presents itself as a local Yorkshire specialist and operates in locations such as Wakefield, Leeds, York, Sheffield, Harrogate and Huddersfield. It has over ten years of experience in the design and installation of bespoke solar systems.

Products and technical solutions

The company's catalogue covers solar panels, inverters, battery storage, EV chargers and air source heat pumps. Battery installation allows electricity generated during the day to be stored for nighttime use, and EV chargers can be powered by the solar energy produced. The company also offers uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems to keep critical household circuits running during a power cut.

Among the brands it uses are Sunsynk, Myenergi, Tesla, Longi and Tigo. The company states that it only uses market-leading products purchased from trusted suppliers.

Certifications and warranties

My Green Electricity is accredited by MCS, Napit and RECC. The company offers a two-year workmanship warranty and ensures that its installations are carried out to the highest industry standards, which allows it to offer some of the best warranties available. Its Napit scheme provider number is 71715.

Work process

The process begins with requesting a detailed quote that includes costs, an installation plan and an estimate of energy savings. Next, an expert visits the property to carry out a survey confirming the building's suitability, the roof structure's capacity to support the additional load, any shading that could affect performance and the appropriate location of indoor equipment. Finally, the installation team carries out the work and explains to the customer how the system operates.

Finance and referrals

The company offers finance options to spread the cost of installation, with payments that the website presents from £50 per month. It also has a referral programme that rewards anyone who recommends a new customer with £250 once that customer's installation is complete.

Maintenance and support

My Green Electricity provides support and maintenance tailored to each installation, with 24-hour system monitoring. The company emphasises that it plans each project carefully to ensure timely delivery and minimise disruption to the property.

Frequently asked questions about solar installation

The company explains that solar panels convert the sun's energy into electricity through the displacement of electrons, generating direct current that is transformed into alternating current for use or storage. On orientation, it notes that in the UK the optimal direction is south, although east- or west-facing roofs also work well and north-facing ones can produce up to 60% of the energy of a south-facing roof. Regarding permissions, it states that since April 2008 solar panels have been considered permitted development in most cases, except on listed buildings or those in conservation areas, where the local authority decides. It also confirms that a Tesla Powerwall 2 battery can be charged during off-peak tariff hours without the need for solar panels, managing the charge through the Tesla app.

Presence and editorial activity

The company publishes informative content about solar energy, with articles on panel performance in summer, system maintenance, installation on flat roofs, a comparison between energy inflation and solar, and the viability of panels in Yorkshire. It also maintains a commercial case studies section.
