Frequently Asked Questions
Most locations are suitable for solar PV systems, however, we do require a south facing roof or land space to enable the panels to work at their maximum efficiency.
Wind turbines require a suitable average wind speed (approx 5m/s) in order to be efficient. Our team can carry out a desktop survey to advise whether a wind turbine would be suitable for your site location.
Grid Connected (On-Grid) systems are connected to the National Grid. You can use electricity generated by your renewable energy system or from the grid.
Off-Grid systems are not connected to the electricity grid and therefore require a battery storage solution.
It is possible to have a hybrid system which can be off-grid or grid-connected.
Additional Information
Solar water systems or thermal collectors use solar 'thermal' panels or 'collectors'. This type of solar panel uses direct & indirect energy from the sun to heat water in a very simple and efficient process.
The solar panels themselves are readily available, easy to fit and can be roof mounted or free standing. It all depends on your requirements and your location.
If you are looking for general information regarding the planning of an off-grid solar or wind energy system, or you would like any project specific advice or prices, our experienced system design team are able to design & cost a bespoke power system to your exact requirements.
