Our knowledgeable renewable energy installers also use modern equipment during your installation to ensure that you get a safe, efficient and quality commissioning service, resulting in value for your money.

We are committed to helping the city transition to zero-carbon lifestyles and help households save energy.

The use of solar panels is one of the best ways of reducing the need for fossil fuels and any form of non-renewable energy.

We will come up with a tailor-made solution according to your budget and the size of your roof.

The roof surface exposed to direct sunlight is the best place for your solar panels to be installed, however, our pre-install software that we use for preparing your quotation, does this for you! As stated earlier, having a solar storage battery system as a backup for your energy needs will significantly reduce your energy bills and also help you whenever there are power blackouts.

Another benefit of solar panels is that you can generate some income by sending your surplus energy generated through the solar panels back to the national grid. Unlike the previous Feed-in-Tariff, the current Smart Export Guarantee allows homeowners to negotiate short-term contracts with different operators. This enables them to choose the provider who bids the highest fare and without exit fees.

Solar panel owners in the UK can earn up to £600 per year from the sold electricity.

Solar PV Installations in London

We understand all of the benefits of installing modern solar energy solutions for your home in London.

Solar panels are manufactured in different ways, the most popular are listed below although “thin film” is used primarily (currently) for mobile solutions – RV’s and boats for example.

Monocrystalline: These are the best choice for home applications due to their efficiency. Their design and construction allow more efficiency at higher temperatures. Monocrystalline solar panels are also more durable compared to others. You should, however, be prepared to pay higher for high quality and efficient technology.

Polycrystalline: Most homeowners choose these solar panels as they are less expensive and still highly efficient.

Thin-film: These solar panels are lightweight and highly portable. The technology is not yet popular among homeowners as it is still under development. Most people use these solar panels for mobile homes, boats and camper vans. There is a possibility that this technology may be the cheapest option in the future.

What is the Cost of Solar PV Installations in London?

The cost of solar panel installation depends on factors like size and type of the system you choose as well as the material of the panels. We will advise you about the number of solar panels you need depending on your average energy consumption, type and size of your roof and your budget.

Most households in London can do with 3kW solar PV systems, which cost roughly between £4,000 and £6,000.

Solar Battery Storage Solutions

No matter how good your solar panel installation is, you cannot get maximum efficiency if you’re not incorporating solar battery storage.

You need solar battery storage for storing the excess and unused energy from your solar panels. Solar panels only generate electricity during the day, but we still need electricity at night. Without the batteries, your solar system will only be beneficial during the day, plus all the energy that is not in use will be lost, back to the grid.

On January 1st 2020, the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) was launched in the UK.

All Generators (you) who wish to receive payment for the electricity which they export back to the National Grid will need to apply to a SEG Licensee (an electricity supplier which offers a SEG tariff).

SEG Licensees must offer a SEG tariff to all eligible Generators.

Each SEG Licensee will have details of their specific application process on their website. Details of SEG payments (including amount due and contract length) will be determined by your chosen SEG Licensee. Any SEG tariff offered must always remain above zero. Generators are also entitled to payments based upon actual meter readings, even if some suppliers offer deals with alternative payment models.

Please note that you can apply for a SEG tariff with any SEG Licensee – your SEG Licensee does not need to be the same company as your current energy supplier. You can choose to use separate companies for your SEG payments, electricity supply, and your gas supply if you wish.

As of February 2022 the SEG payments were from 0.5p per kWh to 7.5p per kWh. depending on your Licensee.

Let’s look at some scenarios here regarding your (the generator’s) use of electricity: if the household is out of the house for most of the day and things like the washing machine, dishwasher and any other “heavy users” are not programmed to come on during daylight hours, then the excess power that you are generating is being fed into the grid. Depending on your utility company (Licensee) you’ll be paid their SEG rate.

Were the excess power that your system generates when the house is empty or just not being used – being stored in your solar storage battery for later use, that would save you buying electricity from your supplier at “ballpark” 27p per kWh at the heaviest time for use of electricity for most households.
