Solar energy is the fastest growing renewable energy solution, with 1.2 million homes in the UK going solar. And it’s not surprising, as typically a 12-panel solar system and a 5.1 kWh (5.1 kWh usable) battery can save you up to £713 a year,† and with our market-leading Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)5 tariff, you can earn up to 40p per kWh exporting the excess solar energy you produce back to the grid.

How do solar panels work?
Solar panels are an increasingly popular and ‘clean’ technology that harness the power of the sun to generate electricity. A solar PV panel is made up of many cells that are constructed from semi-conducting material, usually silicon. When sunlight hits these cells, it creates an electrical current that can be used to power your home or business.
Solar PV systems are typically made up of several panels, with each panel generating around 355W of energy in strong sunlight. To convert the DC electricity to AC, an inverter is installed along with the system. Our solar team are ready to advise you on getting the perfect solar panel package to match your home and budget, and we offer telephone appointments, meaning you don’t have to be home when you speak to us.
