In partnership with government accredited solar energy company
specialising in the installation of the very latest solar hot water
heating systems and solar photovoltaic electricity systems. With a firm
commitment to good customer service, quality products and clean energy, we provide the most cost effective and easy to install solar
energy systems that will reduce your energy bills and your carbon footprint.
Our Company provides solar hot water and solar photovoltaic systems
that guarantee high performance come rain or shine. Our solar energy
systems are extremely durable and reliable and designed specifically
for the northern hemisphere climate. They do not require direct sunshine but operate on radiated light. Therefore on a cloudy day our systems will still produce hot water or electricity.
With ever increasing energy bills and fossil fuel sources constantly
depleting, there has never been a better time to incorporate renewable
energy into your home. Our solar energy systems can generate as much as
70% of your hot water requirements and 50% of your electricity. You'll save money and help make a greener environment.
Remember that global warming and climate change issues are a priority
for the authorities, and because we're a fully government accredited
company, our customers can apply for a solar government grant to help towards the cost of installing a solar energy system.
We are currently offering substantial marketing discounts towards the cost of your installation if you help promote our solar energy systems in selective areas.

SOLAR HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEM
Heating
water using solar panels is well established and is the easiest and
most affordable way of harnessing the sun's power. Using the suns
energy reduces our consumption of conventional fuel and helps to reduce
the emission of harmful gases.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF A SOLAR FUSION SYSTEM
- We only install the very latest solar panels imported from Europe that operate on ultra violet rays and do not need direct sunlight.
- Incorporating
solar panels into your home can reduce your CO2 emissions by 400kg per
year as water heating accounts for around 40% of household emissions,
thus significantly reducing your carbon footprint.
- Installing solar panels will reduce your dependency on diminishing fossil fuels and means you will make direct savings on your ever increasing energy bill. It also provides a unique opportunity to purchase your future energy requirements at today’s prices.
- Investment
in solar panels can increase the value of your property. It has been
documented that solar panels can add nearly 9% onto your property value
(Source: Guardian Online Newspaper). The average UK property needs to increase in value by a mere 3% to cover the cost of an average solar water heating system.
- Additional indirect savings of solar panels include saving money because your boiler is used less. This reduces the frequency of servicing and extends the longevity of the boiler.
HOW THE SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM WORKS
- Solar
Panels are mounted at the optimum angle and direction on your roof. The
solar panels installed by us are evacuated tubes with a
metallic absorber that reflects the UV light back onto the tubes,
optimising performance.
- Your
existing cylinder is replaced by a solar twin coil cylinder, thus hot
water storage is required. In the event of a combi system a suitable
position for a new cylinder will be identified.
- The
solar twin-coil cylinder is connected to the solar panels by copper
pipes and a special fluid is pumped around the solar panels, absorbing
solar energy, and back into the cylinder heating the water. During days
of little UV light, your existing boiler will be automatically
triggered to top up the water temperature.
- A solar controller monitors the performance of the system, displaying the temperature of the solar panels and the cylinder.
- Solar
panels require minimal maintenance. As part of every our
installation, there is a 10 year manufacturer warranty on the evacuated
tubes and 3 year warranty on all parts and labour.
HIGH EFFICIENCY CONDENSING BOILER
In conjunction with a solar thermal hot water system, we also install high efficiency condensing boilers.
Our condensing boilers convert more than 90% of their fuel into heat, compared to 78% for conventional types and 55%-65% for older boilers, thus achieving an ‘A’ for efficiency on the sedbuk rating.
This is accomplished by using two heat exchangers
within the boiler which maximises heat transfer from the burner as well
as recovering useful heat which would normally be lost with the flue
gases, thus maximising operating efficiency.
Therefore
if your existing boiler needs to be updated, a high efficiency
condensing boiler in conjunction with a solar panels is an excellent
means of saving money and saving energy.
As a fully government accredited company, you can even apply for a solar government grant towards the cost of installation.
SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC ELECTRICITY SYSTEM
Solar
photovoltaic electricity systems, commonly known as Solar PV, is the
name for the technology that converts sunlight into electricity for
domestic, commercial or industrial use.
A solar
photovoltaic system uses the inexhaustible and natural renewable energy
given by the sun to create clean and green electricity, thus reducing
your electricity bills and your carbon footprint.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC ELECTRICITY SYSTEM
- Our standard solar photovoltaic installation is a 2kWh system that
will produce up to 50% of your household electrical requirements. It
will convert approximately 18% of UV light into electricity. We can install systems to meet any requirements.
- A solar photovoltaic system will significantly reduce your electricity bills and will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by 325Kg per year per kilowatt installed, reducing your carbon footprint.
- A major feature of a solar photovoltaic electricity system is that no electricity generated is wasted.
When the solar photovoltaic electricity system produces electricity
that is not immediately used by yourself, the excess is fed back to the
national grid and credits your account. Thus when you are on holiday or
at work, the system will still be saving you money! Most energy
companies will purchase this electricity at the same rate as they
charge you.
- A solar photovoltaic electricity
system will increase the value of your property. It has been documented
that solar systems can add up to 9% onto your property value (Source:
Guardian Online Newspaper). The average UK property needs to
increase in value by a mere 5% to cover the cost of an average solar
photovoltaic electricity system.. Home Information Packs also
mean that energy efficient homes, especially those with renewable
energy sources, are becoming far more desirable. Solar photovoltaic electricity systems require minimal
maintenance. As part of every Solar installation, there is a 20
year manufacturer warranty on the solar panels and a 3 year warranty on
all parts and labour.
HOW THE SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC ELECTRICITY SYSTEM WORKS
- On
a standard 2kWp installation, 16 panels of 130 watt are mounted on a
slate or tile roof at the optimum angle and direction. Therefore a roof
space of approximately 15m2 is required for this particular system.
(We can install systems to meet any requirements)
- The
Solar photovoltaic electricity panels are interlinked and are connected
to an Fronius invertor, converting DC electricity into AC electricity.
- The
solar photovoltaic electricity system is then wired into your existing
fuse board and the electricity is either used directly within your home
or fed back to the national grid. Therefore the system is not dependant
on battery storage but has a direct link to your mains supplier.
The diagram below illustrates how the solar photovoltaic electricity system works:

Our standard 2KWatt system can produce up to 50% of the householders
electrical requirements. We can install systems to meet all
requirements.
Solar PV 80/PV 800 Tiles
The beautifully sleek Solar PV tiles can be fitted with most roof
coverings or as a fully integrated solution. Our engineers are fully
LaFarge/Redland trained.
