Services
Solar PV Installation
Our solar PV systems harness sunlight to generate clean electricity for homes and businesses. Using premium SunPower panels with 40-year warranties, we design installations that maximise energy production while minimising grid reliance. Systems integrate seamlessly with battery storage and EV charging, offering long-term savings on energy bills while reducing carbon footprints through renewable technology.
Tesla Battery Storage
Tesla Powerwall installations enable energy independence by storing excess solar power for use during evenings or grid outages. As the UK's first certified Tesla installer, we provide systems with 10-15 year warranties that automatically switch to backup power during blackouts. Our solutions include smart app control for monitoring energy usage patterns and optimising storage efficiency.
EV Charging Points
We install OZEV-approved EV charging stations compatible with all electric vehicles. Our solutions integrate with solar and battery systems to enable zero-grid charging, supported by government grants. Professional installations include smart chargers with app-based monitoring and scheduling features to optimise charging during low-tariff periods.
Commercial Solutions
Tailored renewable energy systems for commercial properties reduce operational costs while meeting sustainability targets. Our services include large-scale solar arrays, battery storage for peak shaving, and fleet EV charging infrastructure. Businesses benefit from fixed energy pricing through Power Purchase Agreements and comprehensive maintenance packages.
System Maintenance
We offer ongoing maintenance for solar, battery, and EV charging systems regardless of installation origin. Services include performance monitoring, safety inspections, and component replacements. Our support packages ensure optimal system efficiency throughout equipment lifespans, with priority response times for critical issues affecting energy production.
Questions
Do solar panels work during winter months?
Yes, solar panels generate electricity year-round. Cold temperatures improve efficiency, though output decreases due to shorter daylight hours. Snow coverage temporarily affects production but rain helps maintain panel performance.
How long does a solar installation take?
Residential installations typically complete within 1-2 days. Commercial projects vary by scale. We handle all aspects from design to grid connection, ensuring minimal disruption to property operations.
Can I charge an electric vehicle using solar power?
Yes, our systems integrate solar generation with EV charging infrastructure. Excess solar energy stored in batteries can power vehicle charging, reducing grid dependency and fuel costs.
What financing options are available?
We offer 0% deposit financing through Hometree Solar Plan with terms from 5-25 years. Options include all-inclusive maintenance coverage and flexible repayment structures to suit different budgets.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
Most domestic installations don't require planning permission unless panels protrude over 20cm from the roof. We advise on local regulations and handle necessary applications during the consultation process.
How do battery systems work during power cuts?
Tesla Powerwall systems automatically provide backup power during outages. The EPS switch enables island mode operation, maintaining essential circuits while grid-connected systems remain inactive for safety reasons.
