Solar PV Installation in Swansea, Carmarthenshire & Pembrokeshire

Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is a rapidly growing industry that offers a sustainable and renewable way to produce electricity.

PV systems work by converting sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity through an inverter to be used in homes and businesses.

With solar PV technology, you can enjoy a clean and sustainable source of electricity while reducing your carbon footprint and saving money on energy bills.

Grants For Solar Panels

Solar panels help reduce your monthly bills by lowering your dependence on the National Grid power. Using natural energy, solar panels are a sustainable energy option which drastically reduces your carbon footprint and positively benefits the environment.

If you want to change to solar energy, solar panels have been available with the ECO4 government grant since April 2022.

Why Install Solar?

Energy prices are rising and the cost to heat homes in the UK is climbing at a rapid rate. There is a push to switch to renewable technologies such as solar to help reduce our use of fossil fuels.

Having solar panels installed for your property is a fantastic way to reduce your carbon footprint as well as the price of your energy bills. By generating your own electricity, fewer fossil fuels will burn and this also reduces emissions and fumes.

Solar panels are usually installed onto a roof. The roof does not have to be south facing, in fact most roofs are suitable for solar panels. We install solar PV to homes in the Swansea area – we will survey your home and let you know how many panels will fit and how much power would be generated.

Solar PV panels offer several benefits. They reduce electricity bills by generating free, renewable energy. They also lower carbon footprints, contributing to the UK’s Net Zero Carbon ambitions. Additionally, Solar PV systems can increase property value and offer a potential income through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), where excess energy can be sold back to the grid.

Despite the UK’s variable weather, Solar PV panels are efficient. Modern panels are designed to work effectively even on cloudy days, although they produce more energy in direct sunlight. The efficiency of solar panels has improved significantly, making them a viable option in regions with less consistent sunshine.

Solar PV systems are known for their longevity and low maintenance. In the UK, a typical Solar PV system can last for 25 to 30 years or more. Most manufacturers offer a warranty of 20 to 25 years, ensuring performance and reliability over a significant period. Contact our team to find out more about our Maintenance packages.

Solar PV panels are versatile and can be installed on a wide range of properties in the UK, including residential homes, commercial buildings, and industrial sites. The key factors for effective performance are sufficient roof space, good structural condition, and minimal shading. South-facing roofs are ideal for maximum solar gain, but east or west-facing installations can also be effective. It’s important to have a site assessment to determine the suitability of your property for Solar PV installation.

Solar PV systems require minimal maintenance, making them a convenient choice for commercial property owners in the UK. It’s generally recommended to check the panels annually for any dirt or debris that might obstruct sunlight and to ensure all components are in good working order. Most systems come with monitoring software that alerts you to any performance issues. Professional maintenance services are available, but the day-to-day upkeep is relatively straightforward and low-cost. Contact our team to find out more about our Maintenance packages.

Before installing solar panels, our team will consider the roof’s size, orientation, and structural integrity. Our team South-facing roofs are ideal for maximum solar exposure, but east or west-facing can also be effective. Ensure the roof is in good condition and can support the weight of the panels. Additionally, assess any shading from nearby buildings or trees and local planning regulations.

The required roof space depends on the energy needs of the business and the efficiency of the panels. On average, 1 kW of solar panels requires about 10 square metres of roof space. For a medium-sized commercial system of 30 kW, approximately 300 square metres would be needed. However, highly efficient panels can reduce the space requirement.

The installation time can vary, but typically, a commercial solar panel system can be installed within a few days to a week, depending on the system’s size and complexity. The process involves an initial site assessment, design and planning, obtaining necessary permits, the physical installation of panels and wiring, and finally, connection to the electrical grid and any monitoring systems.
