Key System Components

Expert Renewable Energy Installation

Installing a solar power system requires careful consideration of essential components to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Key components of a solar system include a mounting system (integrated or surface-mounted), PV modules (panels), an inverter for converting DC to AC electricity, and an energy meter for monitoring generation. The addition of battery storage can significantly enhance the system and maximise your self-consumption.

Solar & air conditioning

While up on the roof, they noticed several cracked tiles and immediately pointed them out to me, suggesting I get them fixed while the scaffolding was already set up. Rather than rushing to finish their own job, they kindly put their work on hold so I could get the roof repaired. … Finding a trade company with this degree of honesty, integrity, and punctuality is rare.

Solar PV: What To Know

A starting point - get in touch if your question isn't answered here. See every answer

It depends on your roof, your household's energy usage, and the size of system that makes sense for your property. After a free home survey, we give you a detailed, fixed quote - no hidden extras and no pressure to sign on the spot.

It comes down to your roof size, orientation and your household's electricity usage. Most homes fit somewhere between 10 and 16 panels, but we'll confirm the right number for you during your free on-site survey.

Most domestic solar installations fall under permitted development and don't need planning permission. Listed buildings and some conservation areas are the main exceptions - we'll flag it during your survey if it applies to you.

Either works. Adding a battery at the same time as your panels is usually more cost-effective, but we design every system so a battery can be retrofitted later on if that suits your budget better.

Most roof types and orientations can support solar, though south-facing roofs with minimal shading perform best.

Solar panels typically carry a 25-30 year performance warranty and continue generating well beyond that. We'll confirm the specific product and workmanship warranties that apply to your system as part of your quote.
