Where We Go
All over Liverpool obviously – done jobs in Aigburth, Allerton, Crosby, Garston, Mossley Hill, Wavertree, West Derby, Woolton, you name it.
Cover the whole of Merseyside really. Wirral – Bebington, Birkenhead, Heswall, West Kirby. St Helens and surrounding areas. Knowsley – Huyton, Kirkby, Prescot. Sefton – Bootle, Formby, Maghull, Southport.
Go a bit further out if the job’s big enough. Done a few in Warrington, Newton-le-Willows, that way.
If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, just ask.
How It Works
Ring us up or drop us a message. We’ll arrange to come out and have a look. Don’t charge for surveys, never have.
I’ll measure up your roof, check your electrics, work out what size system you need. Tell you honestly whether solar’s worth doing on your house or not. Some aren’t – north-facing roofs, too much shade, that sort of thing.
If it looks good, you’ll get a quote emailed over that evening. Fixed price, includes everything you need.
Installation team turns up early, usually done by teatime. They’re all qualified electricians, MCS certified, know what they’re doing. Clean up after themselves too.
System gets tested, connected to the grid, all the monitoring sorted. You get login details to track how much you’re generating.
Why Us?
MCS certified – that’s the industry standard. Means the work’s done properly and you get proper warranties. Also means you qualify for the Smart Export Guarantee payments.
Local team who’ve been doing this for years. Not some national company with a call centre. You deal with the same people from start to finish.
Fixed prices, no hidden costs. What we quote is what you pay. No “oh, we found an extra problem” nonsense on installation day.
Proper equipment from decent manufacturers. German panels, quality inverters, mounting systems that won’t blow off in the first gale.
Different Systems
Most people want straightforward solar panels to cut their electric bills. That’s what we mainly do.
Also fit battery storage if you want to store some of the electricity for later use. Handy if you’re out all day but want to use your solar power in the evening.
Do EV charging points too. Makes sense if you’ve got solar and an electric car.
Heat pumps as well, though that’s a bigger job. Air source heat pumps work well with solar panels.
Solar hot water systems occasionally. Not as popular as they used to be but still worth considering for some houses.
What People Say
Had a customer in West Derby last month – “Best decision we made. Bills are half what they used to be and the installation was spot on.”
Someone in Formby – “Professional job, no mess, system working exactly as promised.”
Crosby customer – “Realistic about what to expect, no overselling. Happy with the service.”
Don’t believe everything you read in online reviews mind. Some companies pay for fake ones. We rely on word of mouth mostly.
Free Surveys
No obligation, no pressure. Come out, have a look, give you honest advice.
Check your roof – condition, which way it faces, any shading problems. Look at your electrics to make sure everything’s compatible. Work out what size system would suit your usage.
Give you realistic figures for what you’ll generate and save. None of this pie-in-the-sky nonsense some companies come out with.
Takes about an hour, costs you nothing.
MCS Certification
Stands for Microgeneration Certification Scheme. It’s the industry standard for renewable energy installations.
Means we’re properly qualified, insured, follow the right procedures. Your installation will meet the standards and you get manufacturer warranties.
Also means you qualify for export payments when you send surplus electricity back to the grid.
Without MCS certification, you don’t get warranties and can’t claim export payments. Worth checking any installer you’re considering is properly certified.
Technical Stuff
Our lads are qualified electricians with MCS certification. Been doing solar installations for years. Know the local planning rules, building regs, all that.
All installations comply with BS 7671 electrical standards. Structural work meets building regs. We handle all the notifications and applications.
Use quality kit – tier 1 solar panels with 25-year warranties, decent inverters, proper mounting systems designed for British weather.
Performance Round Here
Liverpool gets about 1,200 hours of sunshine yearly. Not Spain, but decent enough for solar.
Typical 4kW system generates 3,400-3,700 units annually. That’s enough to cover 60-80% of most households’ electricity.
Summer months are obviously better than winter. July might generate 400+ units, January maybe 80-90. Over the year it averages out.
Export payments currently about 15p per unit. If you’re sending 1,200 units back to the grid yearly, that’s £180 in your pocket.
Getting Started
Want to know if solar’s worth doing on your house? Give us a shout and we’ll come have a look.
Free survey, honest advice, no pressure. If it’s not suitable, we’ll tell you. If it is, you get a proper quote.
Been doing this long enough to give you realistic expectations. No overselling, no underselling. Just straight answers about what solar can do for your house.
Maintenance
Solar panels don’t need much looking after once they’re up. Give them a wash occasionally if they’re getting mucky. Check they’re generating what they should.
Inverters last 10-12 years typically. When they need replacing, costs about £700-800. Predictable expense you can budget for.
We provide ongoing support for all our installations. Any problems, warranty claims, monitoring questions – just give us a ring.
Planning Permission
Most residential solar doesn’t need planning permission. Falls under permitted development rights.
Conservation areas and listed buildings might need permission. Some modern estates have covenants against solar panels.
We know the local planning situation, deal with all the councils regularly. Will tell you what’s needed after the survey.
What’s Not Worth Doing
North-facing roofs – waste of time and money.
Really shaded roofs where trees or buildings block most of the sun.
If you’re planning to move house in the next couple of years.
Electric bills under £500 yearly – payback takes too long.
If you’re renting – need landlord permission and won’t benefit long term.
