This customer wanted the best available. We used the most efficient Jinko panels (22%) with a Q Cells inverter and battery, it uses Samsung battery cells and comes with a 15 year parts & labour warranty.
This system will pay for itself in 7 years.
One of my favourite installs. A single row of 8 all black Q Cell panels, chosen for their low light performance, at the top of each roof face enhances the aesthetics of the home whilst generating more electricity than they use per year.
Limited for space inside. This inverter and battery was mounted to the wall outside next to their aircon unit. The smart battery and inverter is able to connect to your utility supplier and make full use of a smart tariff.
This install will pay for itself in 6-8 years.

There are a number of factors that make up the cost of a solar installation.
From the more obvious - the number and quality of the domestic solar panels, the type and quality of the inverter.
To the less obvious - how complex/how much scaffolding would be needed? Do the roof tiles need added protection from potential damage? Is there a free space in the consumer unit? Will a new small dedicated circuit board have to be installed? How far/complex is the cable route from the panels to the inverter to the consumer unit and meter?
To the type of roof covering - slate roofs tend to be more expensive that tiles.
Whether a battery is added/how many batteries. Our free design will give you options with/without a solar battery so you can see the difference it would make and decide if a solar battery is worth it.
Yes.
You will pay for electricity anyway, why not generate the energy yourself instead? Many of our customers bills are now negative.
You'll be making a financial return, tax-free, which will exceed all comparable alternatives such as an annuity or fixed-term savings account. It will increase the value of your home - now proven. You'll protect against further energy price increases.
And if that's not enough, you'll also offset a significant amount of your carbon emissions - playing a small part in tackling the climate crisis.
It depends! To obtain MCS certification costs approximately £14,000 and approximately £2000 a year with a yearly audit. An MCS certified renewable energy installer costs a bit more than a non MCS certified solar PV installer. You can use one of our calulators to get a free cost estimate - no personal details required.
