How it works
Daylight turned into savings
Solar panels convert daylight into electricity you can use at home straight away, store for later, or sell back to the grid.
Panels capture daylight on your roof
Photovoltaic (PV) cells in each panel absorb sunlight and convert it into DC electricity throughout the day, not just when the sun is out in full.
An inverter converts it for use in your home
A solar inverter transforms that DC electricity into AC current, which is the type your lights, appliances, and sockets all run on.
You use it, store it, or export it
Power your home directly, charge a battery for later, heat your water via a solar diverter, or export surplus back to the grid and earn payments through the Smart Export Guarantee.
Why go solar?
Six reasons homeowners and businesses love them
1
Better for the environment
Every unit of electricity you generate from the sun is one less unit produced from fossil fuels. It is one of the simplest and most effective steps you can take to reduce your household carbon footprint.
2
Earn from your surplus
Export unused electricity through the Smart Export Guarantee and receive payments for every kWh you send back to the grid. It is genuinely a win-win.
3
Heat your water for free
A solar diverter such as an iBoost or Eddi uses excess solar energy to heat your hot water instead of wasting it. You will have hot water for most of the year with only minimal backup from your boiler on the coldest days.
4
Lower electricity bills
Sunlight is free, and every unit you generate yourself is one you do not have to buy from the grid. Most households notice a real difference from the very first month.
5
Very low maintenance
A well-installed solar system can last 25 years or more with minimal upkeep. No fuel, no moving parts, no fuss.

Payback and Savings
Indicative system and savings
Based on current UK energy rates of 24–27p per kWh (Ofgem Q2 2026).
| System size | Panels approx. | Typical home | Annual saving* | Payback |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.8 kW | 10 | Smaller homes | £700–£1,000 | 8–11 years |
| 6 kW | 15 | Mid-size homes | £1,000–£1,400 | 7–9 years |
| 8 kW | 20 | Larger homes | £1,300–£1,800 | 6–8 years |
*Indicative figures will vary depending on your roof orientation, pitch, shading, household usage, and energy tariff. Savings include both reduced grid consumption and Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) income. Adding battery storage can increase savings further and shorten payback by 1–2 years. We will give you exact figures after a free site survey, get in touch to get one booked.

Our Process
A Clear, Structured Approach
From initial enquiry to ongoing support, we follow a defined process to ensure every renewable heating and energy system performs as it should.
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed discussion about your property, existing systems and long-term goals. This helps us assess suitability, funding options and the right combination of heating and energy solutions.
2. Survey & System Design
We carry out full assessments including heat loss calculations, emitter checks and electrical considerations where required. Your system is then carefully designed to suit your property and usage.
3. Installation
Our experienced team installs and commissions your heat pump, solar or supporting upgrades to high standards, ensuring everything operates safely and efficiently from day one.
4. Handover & Ongoing Support
We guide you through your new system, optimise performance settings and provide servicing and long-term support to protect your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will solar panels work on my roof?
Most roofs are suitable. South-facing roofs generate the most, but east and west-facing roofs still produce well across the day. During the survey we assess your roof’s orientation, pitch, shading and structure, then design a system to match.
How much electricity could I generate, and how much could I save?
It depends on your roof, the size of the system and how much electricity you use during the day. Rather than quote a generic figure, we model your expected generation and savings for your specific property as part of your free estimate.
Are there grants or funding available for solar panels?
There is no universal grant covering solar for most homeowners. However, domestic solar and battery installations are zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, which everyone benefits from, and you can earn export income through the Smart Export Guarantee. Some households may qualify for means-tested funding, and we are happy to point you in the right direction.
Do solar panels still work on cloudy days and in winter?
Yes. Panels generate electricity from daylight rather than direct sunshine, so they keep producing on overcast days. Output is naturally lower in winter and higher across the longer days of summer.
Will I get paid for the electricity I export to the grid?
Yes, through the Smart Export Guarantee. Your energy supplier pays you for the surplus you export. Rates vary between suppliers, so it is worth choosing one with a competitive export tariff, and we can advise on this.
Do I need a solar battery as well?
No, solar works without one. A battery lets you store daytime generation to use in the evening, increasing how much of your own power you use and reducing what you buy from the grid. You can read more on our Solar Batteries page.
Can solar panels power a heat pump?
Solar works well alongside a heat pump and can offset some of the electricity it uses, particularly across spring, summer and autumn. As we install both, we can design them to work together as part of a low-carbon home.
Do I need planning permission, and how long does installation take?
Most domestic solar installations fall under permitted development and do not need planning permission, though listed buildings and conservation areas can differ. A typical installation takes one to two days, and we keep disruption to a minimum.
