Getting the most out of your self generated energy
Sell Your Excess Energy Back To The Grid
Did you know, that you can feed any electricity you don’t use back to the grid? Under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) you will be paid for every unit of electricity that you feed back, and it means your helping other people use green energy too.
Save It For Later With Battery Storage
A rechargeable home battery means you can store the excess energy from your solar panels for use anytime—even when the sun goes down.
Heat Water With Solar
The eddi diverter allows you to use solar to power heating systems, heat water, or maximise the efficiency of a heat pump, reducing the work your boiler has to do and lowering your gas bill too.

frequently asked questions
Is my location suitable for solar panel installation?
Most properties are suitable for solar installation. The power generation from the system will depend on the sunlight exposure. Naturally, the more south-facing the roof is, the more sunlight you will get and, therefore, generate more power.
If you are unsure, book a free introductory solar call – we can look at the property using Google’s satellite imagery and advise – no obligation.
Can I add more panels to my system in the future?
If you have the roof space, of course you can add more panels! You just need to make sure your inverter is big enough to manage the additional power generation. We can certainly advise you on this, and help you future-proof your system as much as possible. Speak to our team for a no-obligation conversation to discover what’s possible.
What is the lifespan of solar panels?
All the solar panels we install come with a market-leading 25 year product warranties, some up to 30 years! The technical specifications for your products are included in your proposal, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
The lifespan and warranty does vary between products and manufacturers, so make sure you check all the quotes you receive.
Do I need to replace my roof before installing solar panels?
No, you don’t need to have a new roof for your solar panels, but sometimes it can be a wise decision. Generally, most roofers will say that a slate roof should last around 50 years so it depends how old your roof is.
If you are considering replacing your roof, it’s a great opportunity to install an in-roof system. We will work alongside your roofer to ensure everything is ready for them.
We cannot remove and re-install systems not installed by us due to warranty complications. However, if you have a system installed by us – having it removed and reinstalled (for something like a re-roof) is something we can come and quote for you.
Who do I need to notify?
In most cases, you do not need planning permission from the council to install solar panels.
Your electricity supplier does need to be made aware of the installation, so they can manage the flow of electricity effectively. This is either done via a G99 or G98 application. We manage this application for you, we just need you to sign an authority form so we can contact your electricity provider on your behalf.
If your system is larger than 4Kw, the G99 application must be accepted before installation takes place.
If your system is under 4Kw then we submit the G98 to the DNO as a “connect & notify” form, as we do not need to wait for permission. We do this prior to installation, so you can get your tariffs & SEG payments sorted as quickly as possible.
How long does a solar installation take?
Our installations are typically carried out in 1-3 days, with the roofing teams first installing the railing and panels, followed by the electrical engineers completing the electrical installation, powering up and commissioning the system.
What happens during cloudy or rainy days?
How much your panels generate is solely reliant upon the weather. If it is rainy with little cloud cover, you will still get some power generation from your system. The same if it very cold but still sunny, your panels will actually perform quite well on these days. If it is a very dark and cloudy day, you will find little to no generation on that particular day.
This is all factored into your proposal and calculations, we use MCS accredited data to look at a realistic generation for your specific property – not just a national average or rough estimate.
Do you offer financing options for solar installations?
We can accept payment via credit card & American Express.
We do have a finance partner we work closely with, and can make introductions if you are considering this option.
High interest rates will impact the savings you are making on your electricity bill, and it’s important for us to do the right thing for our customers.
