Solar Made Simple 3: Installing Solar Panels

So you've learnt all you need to know about solar panels and you know what solar can do for you, now it's time to understand the basics of putting solar panels in place. For large commercial solar farms it's common to install them on metal frames out in the open, but for nearly all other

Solar Made Simple 2: What Can Solar Do For Me?

For an introduction to solar panels see our Solar Made Simple 1: All You Need to Know About Solar Panels. The first step in learning what solar panels can do for you is about understanding how many panels can fit on your roof, and hence how much electricity those panels can generate for you.

Residential storage on the rise as homeowners seek control over power usage

An increasing number of homeowners are investing in residential energy storage systems (RESS) solutions to reduce inconveniences associated with power outages and in some cases, reduce costs and increase their use of renewable power. This was one of the findings in a new report from Guidehouse Insights, examining the global market for RESS solutions

Solar Installs: Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire

We recently did a solar and battery install very local to us - this was in Hemel Hempstead and we're based in Kings Langley. The solar was a large array of 24 panels, each 375W giving a total power of 9 kWp, connected to a Sofar 7.5 kW solar inverter. We handled the necessary

Solar Installs: Enfield, North London

A recent install in Enfield gives us a good opportunity to show off the capability of our drone! Not only can we do accurate surveys ahead of an install, including close-ups on the condition of the roof, but we can follow up after an install to check everything looks good. Drone image of pitched

Solar Installs: Hounslow, West London

We did an install in Hounslow earlier this month and here are a few pictures. This system has just 6 panels on a house roof with concrete tiles, but they are each high power (357W) so overall the system will generate a good supply for the property. One of our solar installs in

Solar Installs: Kings Langley, Hertfordshire

Here's an interesting recent solar install, covering different roof types. This photo has been taken from footage captured by our drone. On the left is a conventional pitched roof install, here on slate tiles. On the right we can see panels on flat roof frames with ballast, on a dormer roof. Solar install,

Solar Installs: Colchester, Essex

Here are some photo's of a recent install near Colchester. It's on a slate roof and slate can be tricky if it's old - great care has to be taken to avoid damage to tiles. We use a system where the panels are fixed through the slates so they don't have to be lifted or

Tanjent now include Aerial Surveys for Solar Panels

We have been having a lot of fun recently since we have added a new tool to our repertoire - a pro drone with high definition video and still camera. We use this both before and after a solar installation and it gives enormous benefits: A close up view of innaccessible roof areas. A
