Residential Renewables

Saving energy through increasing energy efficiency in buildings is of prime importance globally. The two main pillars of this are reducing the energy consumption of buildings and integrating clean, renewable energy sources into the built environment.

Solar PV is the most common installation for domestic renewable electricity generation. Your property will require unshaded usable space on your roof, or potentially within your garden, with generally a south facing aspect.

Solar Panels can be fitted either on roof mounts/tracks, or alternatively they can be fitted into the roof line, so that they sit level with the roof tiles.

You don’t need to install a battery for your Solar Panels to work, but a battery can help you get the most out of the energy your panels are generating. If you don’t have a battery, you’ll switch back to using energy from the national grid. If you have a battery installed, you can use any extra energy stored in the battery at night time. This reduces your reliance on the grid for electricity.
