Go green with our solar panel services Berkshire
Berkshire, a county known for its royal connections, is located in the South East of England. It is situated just west of London, offering residents the convenience of nearby big city life and the peace of charming country vibes.
Berkshire is home to Windsor Castle, an impressive historic building where many kings and queens lived during their reigns. Windsor Castle has been ahead of the renewable energy curve since the mid-90s when it started using Combined Heat and Power to provide heating and hot water. Today, the castle continues to take a greener approach by using hydroelectricity from the River Thames to generate renewable electricity.
While it was early in its approach, the Royal Household isn’t the only one looking to take a sustainable step. Many local authorities, organisations, and residents like you also want to reduce their environmental impact. Several local councils across Berkshire have their own set of sustainability goals, with many of them declaring a climate emergency in recent years.
West Berkshire Council is among them, with their own goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. Their Environment Strategy focuses on reducing carbon emissions, preserving the natural environment and working with local businesses and residents. They have already begun making progress by installing more solar panels on council buildings, adding electric vehicle charging points and offering greener transportation options.

What are solar panels?
There are two different types of solar Panels: solar thermal and solar PV.
Solar thermal systems are for heating hot water only, and you require a hot water tank to store this.
Meanwhile, solar PV is a technology that converts sunlight into DC electricity. When connected through an inverter, solar energy is converted into AC that can be used in the home to reduce energy usage.
When paired with solar batteries, our solar panel and battery storage systems can reduce your home’s energy consumption from the national grid by up to 70%!
How does a solar panel system work for the home?
Solar panels take the sun’s solar energy and convert it to DC electricity. We then take this energy and convert it to AC electricity through an inverter, which can be utilised in our homes and businesses.
We can combine solar installation with a solar battery and set the system up so that it effectively monitors the consumption of the property. The battery will charge when there is more solar power than the property consumes and discharge when the demand from the property increases.
A second function of a battery would be to charge the grid using cheap utility rates at nighttime when the demand on the grid is less. This is particularly useful in the winter when less solar energy is available.
