We specialise in the design of large scale domestic and commercial solar energy systems, harnessing energy from the sun and optimising it for electrical consumption. When combined with battery storage, these systems can significantly offset the energy you import from the grid.
In order to get the most out of solar power, it is important that it is built with your energy consumption in mind. PV (photovoltaics) systems can be customised to meet individual needs, supplementing power to your property and helping reduce energy bills. If the system is too small, it may not offset enough of your energy usage. Too big and the payback of this type of installation may not be fully realised.
Exporting excess energy to the grid is possible, but with rising energy prices, offsetting your energy usage may be the most important factor to consider with solar installations.
We typically design and install large scale domestic and commercial renewable energy systems, offering tailored solar generation solutions for your property and your consumption patterns.
Due to a marked increase in the number of small scale domestic solar enquiries that we have received, we have had to implement a £500 fee for a dedicated survey and design visit on these smaller projects. This is, however, deductible from the installation cost if you choose to progress the project with us.
We have unfortunately had to take this measure to protect our business viability after experiencing repeated instances of carrying out site visits and providing bespoke designs only for them to be taken elsewhere. As we are a small business, this level of lost revenue is unsustainable.
Battery storage isn’t essential, but it can significantly increase the efficiency of your system. By storing excess energy generated during the day, you can use it when solar production is low (e.g., at night), reducing your reliance on the grid and helping to lower your energy bills.
We design every system based on your individual energy consumption patterns. Too small, and it won’t cover enough of your usage. Too large, and the system may not be financially viable. Our design process ensures the system size and setup best suits your needs and offers a realistic return on investment.
As a small business, we’ve introduced this fee to cover the time and cost of conducting detailed surveys and creating bespoke designs. Unfortunately, we’ve experienced cases where our work has been used elsewhere without engagement. The good news is: this fee is fully deductible from your installation cost if you choose to go ahead with us.
While our main focus is on large domestic and commercial systems, we do still support small-scale domestic projects. Due to high demand and the resources involved, these now require a paid design visit, which helps us provide a thorough and professional service from the start.
