Chris Rudge Renewable Power, your first choice for the Feed in Tariff
We have been installing Solar PV systems since 2004 and are nearing the completion of our 100th grid connected system. We specialise ONLY in electrical renewable power systems to give you the confidence you'll have a reliable and cost effective system that will generate electricity and Feed in Tariff payments for the next 25 years. You can count on our experience for systems of all sizes.
By keeping our installation area to the South West of the UK, we know we can keep our costs down, and give you peace of mind that we are not far away for backup if you need after sales service. We install Solar PV systems anywhare in Devon, Dorset, Cornwall and Somerset as we are based near the South West hub of Exeter and within reach of the Channel Islands too!
We now stock both Sharp NU185 and Kyocera KD185 modules, other makes and sizes can be obtained.
For the last few years we have been using Sharp monocrystalline PV modules as they are manufactured and assembled in the UK and we felt it made Low Carbon sense to support the home market.Despite a break in supply, they are now back as the Monocrystalline NU185, and are complementing the Kyocera KD185 modules we also stock.
The Kyocera which offer a black anodised frame, visually blending them into your roof, especially slate.

Sharp NU185 modules are a super established workhorse monocrystalline PV module that other manufacturers compare their own performance against. We don't supply cheap imitations that are being offered by other company's... 
we want your system to be reliable in 20 years and more!
We also now offer a full 5 year warranty on all parts & labour for all our grid connected systems! This is in addition to any PV manufacturers 20 year warranty.
Our basic installation costs.. They're hard to beat!
If your interested in obtaining some quotes for a Solar PV system, you will find our costs hard to beat. We really do try to keep our price structure honest and lean for the consumer. After seeing a few Solar PV companies quoting nearly £7 a wattP for systems, and employing pushy salesmen, we realised that it would be in everyones interest to publish package prices to give our customers guidance on costs. The above picture shows one of our latest Kyocera installations on the main house, which blends in with their slate roof beautifully.
We constantly strive to keep our installation costs down. See the table below for some suggested prices (based at August 2010). Call or email us to confirm the installation cost on your property...
