For many people, the thought of turning your entire roof into a power station sounds like the dream. No chunky panels, no compromise on appearance - just sleek roof tiles that quietly generate electricity.
Across the UK, more households are investing in renewable energy and storage to cut bills and reduce reliance on the grid. But in Aylesbury, one property has taken this ambition to extraordinary heights.
When you invest in solar panels and battery storage, the questions are always the same. How much electricity will it actually generate. How much difference does the battery make. Is there any maintenance or hassle involved. And above all, how much impact will it really have on your electricity bill. Is it a worthwhile investment.
Solar Skin for Commercial Projects: Branding, Planning and Aesthetics in One Solution
Solar technology has long been valued for its ability to reduce operational costs and support sustainability targets. But as more businesses seek to integrate solar without compromising visual impact or site design, aesthetics are becoming an increasingly important consideration. That’s where Solar Skin comes in.
With rising energy costs and growing environmental pressure, UK farmers need practical solutions to cut expenses and meet sustainability goals. The government’s Improving Farm Productivity Grant, administered by the Rural Payments Agency (RPA), offers a direct route for farmers to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and improve their bottom line.
Our recent project for Philip Dennis Foodservice is a standout example of how choosing solar can yield impressive financial returns while also making a positive impact on the environment. It’s our largest commercial solar installation to date, and the results truly speak for themselves.
For those who have their finger on the pulse of the solar energy market, it's becoming obvious that there is an increasing shift towards the manufacture and use of n-type solar from p-type panels in both commercial and domestic settings, to the point where the former now dominate. But why has this shift come about, and more fundamentally what is the difference between the two?
In the space of just a few years, the average panel we install on domestic projects has shot up from around 315W to at least 375W, with more and more residential modules breaking the 400W barrier.
This is down to a few factors, such as the widespread adoption of new, more efficient technologies, bigger cells and bigger modules:
When researching solar PV, you may have come across the phrase ‘tier 1 solar panels’. It’s used as a selling point by some manufacturers and installers to demonstrate the reliability of their products. But is that really the case?
