Renewable energy products and services

Installations
Before installing any on site generating system, it is important that a full survey is undertaken in order to confirm what type and size of system is suitable for both your requirements and your location. If the site for installation is within 20 miles of our base then we offer a free initial site survey, energy audit and consultation before designing a system to meet your needs.

We install two main types of renewable energy systems for on-site electricity generation. We are also able to design customised hybrid systems of the two types to your specific demands.

Photo voltaic (solar electric) Grid Connect Generator.

A grid connect system is connected to the National Grid via an inverter wired directly into your existing consumer unit. A dedicated meter records the amount of electricity generated and your energy supplier then credits you for this. Any surplus electricity produced that is not used on site is exported to the grid. Your existing energy supply is unaffected, so if your generator is not producing a sufficient amount to cover all your household needs, in winter months or at nighttime for instance, you simply buy back units from your supplier.

We currently offer three, off - the - shelf systems designed for domestic installation.

System 1: 1kW array. Suitable for a small 1 / 2 bedroom house

System 2: 1.5kW array. Suitable for a 2 / 3 bedroom house

System 3: 2kW array. Suitable for larger houses or houses with an increased energy demand

Larger systems can easily be designed for greater power requirements, the main limiting factor being available mounting space for the arrays.

Photo voltaic (solar electric) Stand Alone Generator.

A stand alone system Generates electricity from the sun in the same way as the grid connect systems but instead of exporting energy to the grid, the energy is stored in battery banks. This type of system is completely isolated from the mains supply so you are totally responsible for the energy you produce and consume. Stand alone systems are ideal for remote locations with no mains supply or for portable applications. They can vary in size from small scale installations suitable for caravans and boats to full scale domestic systems. Of course, there will be increased costs in these types of systems due to the added expense of the battery storage facility.

Even though you are disconnected from the mains supply however, you can still claim credits for all units of electricity generated from certain renewable energy supply companies. 

Small Scale Wind Generator Systems.

We can also design systems that incorporate domestic size wind turbines, although from our experience for a wind system to work efficiently they must be situated in a very specifically suitable location. Additional surveys must be undertaken in order to define whether a wind turbine is suitable for your system.
