Benefits of solar panels

- You can reduce your energy bills AND protect the environment. Even in today's market place the payback period is between 8 and 12 years but with energy prices expected to continue rising, this time scale will reduce.

- Solar Energy systems can add value to your property. This is estimated at adding up to 6% to the market value of a house - adding £15,000 to a property worth £250,000.

- Grants are often available to offset part of the cost of a solar heating system. Our fully trained installers can advise you on availability. Even without a grant you will benefit from an immediate 10% reduction from VAT savings.

- Installation is quick, clean and hassle-free. All of our installers are fully-trained in all aspects of installation, which can normally be completed in 48 hours.

- Planning permission is not usually required, but even when it is, planners look favourably on those who wish to add solar panels.

Benefits of Solar Hot Water Systems

- Solar Hot Water Systems can be installed to provide piping hot water in nearly any house, extension or heated swimming pool.

- Solar heating can provide you with up to 70% of your house's house water requirements and for such applications as swimming pools 100% of the heating requirements can usually be achieved.

- The sun's radiation that is used by the solar hot water systems is available even where there is no direct sunlight and even on overcast days.

- You can reduce your Carbon Footprint by between 400- 1300kgs per year - the equivalent of driving a small car 1500-4000 miles per year!

Benefits of Solar Voltaic Systems

- By installing a meter that measures the amount of excess electricity the property creates, the property owner can sell power back to the National Grid. This varies by Network Operator, but can be as high as 36p per unit, compared with the 12.5p rate that the home buys in at. This can dramatically reduce the payback period of a system, which retails from between £8,500-£17,250.

- You can reduce your Carbon Footprint by approximately one tonne each year - the equivalent of flying 1864 miles!
