Solar Panels

Why choose solar?
Footprint

Reduce your carbon footprint

Solar provides a clean and green source of energy and produces no greenhouse
gases or carbon emissions.

An average-size home with a solar panel installation will save over one tonne of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere every year.

Independence from the grid

Once you install your new solar system you become an energy generator and have less reliance on the national grid. This will be vital in years to come with demand for electricity on the increase thanks to electric vehicles and other renewable heating solutions.

Save on energy bills

Solar panels absorb the Sun's energy to generate free electricity saving you
considerable amounts on your energy bills every year. The good news is that it
doesn't even have to be bright and sunny for your solar panels to generate electricity as they still work well on cloudy and overcast days.

maintenance

Easy to maintain

Unlike gas boilers which need a good annual service to keep them working well, solar panels, once installed, require very little looking after. Thanks to the angle they are installed at, rain washes off any dirt and grime and as long as you give them an occasional clean, your solar panels should keep the same efficiency levels for 25 years.

Earn money with the Smart Export Guarantee

The SEG ensures homeowners with solar panels are paid for any excess renewable energy that is exported back to the National Grid. All energy suppliers with over 150,000 customers are part of this scheme and each energy supplier will pay different rates.

Increase the value of your home

The government targets to reach net zero by 2050 mean that focus on renewable energy is increasing. Energy efficiency within homes is a big driver when it comes to a property’s value and also adds another attractive selling point for potential buyers.
