Solar Photovoltaic Systems
For quiet and clean electricity generation with a modular approach, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems are hard to beat.
The versatility of solar PV lends its technology for any electrical generation purpose you may need from small vehicle mounted battery charging systems to multi kilowatt grid connected generation installations.
Every day, during daylight, a PV system will generate electricity. It does not have to be full sunlight, but maximum output will be achieved in full sun. Dull cloudy days will probably produce around 10% of the rated full output. In the South West, output from a Solar PV system will be around 20% higher than from a same sized system in the north of England.
Solar PV systems, once installed, are quiet, need no maintenence and have an easily expected life of 20 - 25 years and beyond. There are PV systems built in the 1960's that are still operating right now!
For a installed cost guide, see the chart on our HOME PAGE, which is updated regularly on current costs based on equipment cost prices, if we save, you do too!
All systems will use UK made Sharp monocrystalline modules unless specified otherwise. Besides being UK made, the annual outputs are far higher than most rival PV modules. For more information on Sharp PV modules click here, and see more details on the 20 year performance guarantee.
On the inside of the building we install quality electronics to match the PV array output. We always use the trusted Fronius or Sunny Boy G83/1 compliant inverters and all wiring and certification included.
No hidden extras and charges, all grid connection and electrical works and certification is included.
We now have our own scaffold tower access equipment, suitable for single storey buildings, but for 2 storey or higher there will be additional costs for scaffolding, to comply with current Health & Safety regulations.

We can supply either component parts for you to assemble your own system, or we will provide a free quotation and system design service. For mains grid connected systems it is vital that a qualified engineer carries out the final commisioning, as systems need to comply with wiring standards and G83/1.
