Services
Solar Panel Installation
Our solar panel installations harness sunlight to generate clean electricity, reducing energy bills and carbon footprints. We assess roof suitability, orientation, and shading to optimise system performance. With MCS certification, we ensure compliance and eligibility for government incentives, delivering tailored solutions for Dorset homes.
Battery Storage
Battery storage systems capture surplus solar energy for use at night or during outages. We specify high-performance units like Tesla Powerwall, enhancing energy independence and grid flexibility. Systems enable cost savings through time-of-use optimisation and support EV charging from stored renewable energy.
EV Charger Installation
We install fast, MCS-certified EV chargers compatible with all electric vehicles. Solutions include smart chargers integrated with solar systems to maximise green energy use. Our assessments consider mains capacity and off-street parking requirements, ensuring efficient home charging setups.
Electrical Contracting
From rewires to full electrical installations, we provide comprehensive contracting services for residential and commercial properties. Fully certified electricians ensure safety and compliance, with expertise in integrating renewable systems into existing infrastructure.
Full Installation Testing
Post-installation testing verifies safety, performance, and compliance of solar, battery, and EV systems. We conduct thorough diagnostics to guarantee optimal operation, providing clients with confidence in their investment's reliability and efficiency.
Questions
What factors determine if my home is suitable for solar panels?
Roof orientation (south-facing ideal), angle (30-40° optimal), shading, roof condition, and local sunlight levels determine suitability. We provide free surveys to assess these factors.
Do solar panels require a battery to function?
Batteries are optional but enhance self-consumption by storing surplus energy. They enable night-time use and grid independence, though systems operate without them.
Can solar panels charge an electric vehicle?
Yes, solar panels can directly charge EVs or via battery storage. This reduces grid reliance and lowers fuel costs, with systems designed to match vehicle charging requirements.
Are there grants available for solar installations?
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) pays for excess electricity exported to the grid. Zero-VAT applies to installations, though specific grants vary—consult our team for current incentives.
What charging speeds are possible with EV home chargers?
240V chargers provide 10-20 miles range/hour; DC fast chargers offer 50-80 miles range/hour. Speed depends on charger type, car model, and mains capacity.
