Renewable Energy
Solar Photovoltaics (PV)
Solar PV systems use panels to convert sunlight into electricity. Installing solar panels can reduce your electricity bills over time, and many systems generate more electricity than your home requires, allowing the surplus to be sold back to the grid.
To maximise the efficiency of a solar PV system, factors such as roof orientation, pitch, shading, and size are carefully considered during your survey. Installation is typically completed within a single day. While solar panels perform best in direct sunlight, they still generate electricity even on cloudy days.
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Air source heat pumps (ASHP) extract heat from the outside air and transfer it into your home’s heating or hot water system. To achieve maximum efficiency, it’s essential that your home is well insulated. Measures such as cavity wall and loft insulation help reduce heat loss and ensure your heat pump performs at its best.
The UK Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants of up to £7,500 (as of March 2024) for households in England and Wales, helping homeowners replace traditional heating systems with low-carbon alternatives like air source or ground source heat pumps.
Solar Battery Storage
Battery storage lets you use the electricity generated by your solar PV system even after the sun goes down. During the day, the battery stores excess solar energy, making it available for use at night and helping you maximise the benefits of your system.
