    We are Going Green, residential solar panel installation specialists in Surrey

    Surrey, a county full of rich history and natural beauty, is located in the southeast of England. Bordered by Greater London to the north, Hampshire to the west, and Sussex to the south, Surrey makes for a very strategic location for businesses and residents alike. But the real winner is the stunning green landscapes and places of natural beauty we so deeply want to help the people of Surrey protect.

    Surrey finds itself at the centre of the UK’s renewable energy pledge, with ambitious targets and firm commitments to help the Government reach its 2050 net zero target. Surrey County Council has released its own Climate Change Strategy, outlining its community approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across various areas, including transportation, industrial and housing. The council understands the need for collaboration, not just among local authorities but also among businesses and residents.

    Several local organisations, including the University of Surrey and Guildford Borough Council, have declared a climate emergency in response to Surrey’s Climate Change Strategy. The University of Surrey is committed to facilitating a renewable energy transition by improving building efficiency, setting up a new, on-site solar facility, and installing solar panels.

    We see ourselves as a one-stop shop for residential and commercial customers, offering:

    • Solar Panel Installation
    • Solar Batteries
    • AC Connected Batteries

    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.

    Frequently asked questions for Solar Panels in Surrey

    Solar PV panels are a type of solar panel. They all take solar power and convert it into renewable energy, but they do this in different ways. Solar thermal converts sunlight into heat energy, and solar PV panels convert it into electrical energy.

    Both types of solar panels have their merits, but when installing solar PV, the electrical energy can be used for more than just domestic hot water. It can be used to charge a car, run the home during a power cut, reduce electrical consumption, and heat the hot water for your home.

    Solar panel installations have permitted development rights with certain conditions.

    They must be no more than 200mm above the roof surface and cannot be installed on the grounds of a listed building or a World Heritage site.

    If the panels are installed on a flat roof, they must be lower than 600mm above the roof surface, but typically, mounting kits are designed to conform to these regulations.

    The cost of solar PV installation can vary depending on the number of solar panels installed and the size of the batteries required for the property. However, the payback for a solar PV system on a property with a high electrical load can be as little as two years.

    If the property's electrical system isn't modern or has limited capacity, there can be extra costs for items such as a consumer unit upgrade, but we would assess this with a site visit and advise accordingly.

    For domestic purposes, an installation on-site typically takes two days. This could be less or more, depending on the size of the system and any complexities with the installation. Commercial projects can take longer as they typically have larger roofs and higher electrical demand, meaning a much larger installation is required.

    We don't currently work with government grants; however, all the solar panel systems we install are eligible for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) as long as you have a smart meter installed.
