Systems it installs

The company's catalogue covers the full cycle of a renewable installation, from the initial survey to aftercare:

• Solar PV panels: electricity generation for self-consumption.
• Solar battery storage: storing the energy produced for use at night or during power cuts.
• Air source heat pumps: low-emission heating, with up to £7,500 off through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
• Solar thermal systems: heating domestic hot water all year round.
• Inverter replacement and repair.
• EV chargers: home charging powered by surplus solar instead of the grid.
• Servicing and maintenance: annual checks to protect the installation.

Approach for commercial clients

For businesses, the company designs solar and battery systems tailored to the energy profile of each site, with the stated aim of reducing operating costs and future-proofing the premises. The company says it manages the project from start to finish, from the initial survey to after-sales service.

Frequently asked questions about savings

The company explains that savings depend on the size of the system, the orientation of the roof and daytime consumption, and that specific figures are provided during the free survey. It cites estimates from Energy Saving Trust according to which a typical 4 kWp system can reduce the annual bill by between £600 and £900 with the Smart Export Guarantee. It adds that PV systems generate electricity and can export surplus to the national grid, while solar thermal systems do not produce electricity but can cover up to 70% of annual hot water needs.
