How we operate

Straightforward, Precise and Effective

Solar PV Stages

Straightforward, Precise and Effective

Survey and Consult

We use advanced satellite imagery and mapping software to gain an understanding of your site. From there, we carry out in-depth site surveys, using drone photography when needed to ensure every angle is covered. This allows us to create a system design that’s tailored to your property’s unique needs

Design and Proposal

Once we’ve gathered all necessary data, we move to the Design and Proposal phase. Our expert team will create a tailored solar system design that maximises energy efficiency for your property. We present a clear, comprehensive proposal that outlines system size, projected savings, and the installation process. We ensure you have all the information needed to make an informed decision before moving forward.

Install and Commission

With the design finalised and approved, we move to the Installation and Commissioning phase. Our experienced team handles the full installation of your solar system, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine. Once the system is installed, we perform comprehensive testing and commissioning to ensure everything is running at optimal performance. We also handle all necessary grid connection paperwork, making sure you’re ready to start generating clean, renewable energy

Handover and Support

Once your solar system is fully installed, we move to the Handover and Support phase. During this stage, we’ll walk you through the system, ensuring you understand how it works and how to monitor its performance. We’ll also monitor your system for the first two months to quickly identify any potential issues and ensure it’s running smoothly. To provide you with peace of mind, we include a 24-month workmanship warranty, backed by insurance, along with your MCS certificate, ensuring the highest standard of quality and support

Solutions we've delivered

Nationwide service delivered to a high standard

Solar PV for local fabricator

We provided a full turnkey solution for Integra Buildings, delivering a complete design, supply, and installation package for a solar PV system on their industrial unit. The project included a tailored system design, installation of high-performance solar panels, and full integration with the building’s existing infrastructure. Our solution ensures maximum energy efficiency and long-term cost savings, with ongoing support and monitoring to optimise performance.

Industrial park Solar Install

We developed a tailored plan for Indurrent to expand their existing PV arrays by over double the current capacity. The project included a full site assessment and a detailed integration plan to connect the new and existing systems to a central metering platform. This ensures accurate tracking and fair billing for electricity produced by the PV array, benefiting all site occupants and improving overall energy efficiency.

Service and Maintenance

In line with MIS3002 regulations, we conducted a detailed assessment of Boeing’s solar PV system, identifying and resolving several non-conformities. Our team implemented corrective measures to bring the system into full compliance. We are now set to expand the existing array with a new, fully compliant system designed to maximise energy production and long-term operational efficiency.

FAQ

Commonly Asked Questions

For most properties, planning permission is not required to install solar panels. This falls under what is known as “permitted development rights.” Here are some conditions under which you can install solar panels without planning permission:

  • The installation does not protrude more than 200mm beyond the plane of the wall or roof slope.
  • The highest part of the solar installation does not exceed the highest part of the roof (excluding chimneys).
  • The installation is not on a listed building or within a conservation area.

 

When Planning Permission is Required

There are specific situations where you will need to apply for planning permission:

  • Listed Buildings: If your property is a listed building, you will need planning permission.
  • Conservation Areas: Properties located in conservation areas might require planning permission, especially if the solar panels are to be installed on a wall that faces a highway.
  • Ground-Mounted Solar Panels: If you are planning to install ground-mounted solar panels, planning permission might be necessary depending on the size and location.

 The payback period can vary based on factors such as system size, energy consumption, and local solar irradiance. Here’s a brief overview:

Key Factors

  1. System Size: Larger systems typically generate more electricity, leading to quicker payback.
  2. Energy Consumption: Higher usage results in greater bill savings.
  3. Solar Irradiance: We use MCS irradiance data-sets to estimate solar energy potential accurately.
  4. Installation Costs: Initial costs impact payback time, but government incentives can reduce these costs.
  5. Electricity Rates: Higher rates can lead to greater savings.

Typical Payback Period

On average, the payback period for solar panel systems ranges from 6 to 10 years. After this, you can enjoy free, clean energy for the remaining lifespan of the panels, typically over 25 years.

Financial Incentives

  • Smart Export Guarantee (SEG): Earn money by exporting unused energy back to the grid.
  • Finance: Try our finance calculator to see if your monthly repayments can be outweighed or offset by energy savings

Solar panels are a low-maintenance, reliable source of renewable energy. However, like any investment, they do require some upkeep to ensure optimal performance. Here’s what you need to know about maintaining your solar panels.

Routine Maintenance

  1. Cleaning: Dust, debris, and bird droppings can accumulate on panels, reducing efficiency. Cleaning them a few times a year can help maintain performance. In many cases, rain helps keep them clean. For more details, check out this guide on how to clean solar panels.
  2. Inspection: Regular visual inspections can identify potential issues, such as cracks or loose connections. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection annually.
  3. Monitoring Performance: Most modern systems have monitoring software that tracks energy production. Any significant drop in performance may indicate a need for maintenance.

Professional Services

While solar panels are designed to be durable and low-maintenance, professional services can ensure they remain in top condition. At [Your Solar Company Name], we offer comprehensive maintenance packages, including cleaning, inspections, and performance checks.

Benefits of Maintenance

  • Maximize Efficiency: Regular maintenance ensures your system operates at peak efficiency.
  • Extend Lifespan: Proper care can extend the lifespan of your solar panels, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
  • Prevent Issues: Early detection of potential problems can prevent costly repairs. For more tips, visit this solar panel maintenance guide.

Types of Installations

  1. On-Roof Systems: These are mounted on top of your existing roof and are the most common type of solar installation. They are ideal for maximizing sunlight exposure and are less intrusive.
  2. In-Roof Systems: Integrated into the roof itself, these systems are aesthetically pleasing and provide a seamless look. They are perfect for new builds or re-roofing projects.
  3. Ground-Mounted Systems: These are installed on the ground, often in larger open spaces. They are highly efficient and can be positioned to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day.
