Solar Panels
Benefit from industry leading advice and delivery from a local and experienced installer Talk to usGet Your Free QuoteOur personal approach to solar includes design, project management and installation – only using quality components.
Solar PV is a very accessible renewable technology and solar panels can be fitted to most properties. A typical solar PV installation will be fitted on the roof or ground-mounted. Ideally, a solar PV system needs to be free of shade to get the best efficiency and produce maximum power.
Serving Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and the Marches, we are technically led, rather than sales driven and we will spend as much time as required to ensure we offer the best renewable system for you.
Our honest approach means we don’t overstate power output or understate payback times.
Roof mounted solar panels
Solar panels are often mounted on roofs by fixing them to aluminium rails which in turn are fitted via brackets fixed under the tiles to the rafters.
Roof integrated solar panels
Alternatively, an integrated system can be used, meaning the panels lie flush with the roof covering.
Everything was excellent. Solarkinetics went above and beyond a simple installation, adding extras that have enhanced the use of the system.
Our promise
Our preferred solar modules offer a warranty for 25 years on workmanship, defects and linear performance output. We offer a range of efficiency and styles to suit your requirements. Our preferred inverters offer a 10 year warranty (12 years for SolarEdge) and have been developed for intelligent energy management for over 15 years.
Intelligent management
In order to get the most from your system it is important that you are able to monitor its performance and to check it is functioning properly. Knowing how much power is being generated at any time enables you to maximise self-consumption.
We offer a range of monitoring systems, including handheld, smartphone and online. Each year we can come on-site and carry out an annual maintenance check.
Save on energy bills
By investing in a solar system for your home you may generate more power than you use enabling you to sell electricity back to your energy supplier. See our Financial Incentives page for more information.
Your journey with us
It’s important to design a system that’s right for you – we’re here to help so come and talk to us.
1. Consultation
First of all we will look at your site and assess whether solar might be suitable.
We’ll ask lots of questions such as how much power you use and when you use it. Also what might affect your consumption in the future, such as charging an electric vehicle or installing air/ground source heat pump. What your motivations are – financial benefits or reducing your carbon footprint or a bit of both.
From this, one of our technicians will design your solar system, incorporating battery and EV charger if required and we will send you a proposal with costings. On deciding to go ahead, we will visit you if we haven’t already for a more detailed survey and answer any questions you may have.
2. Installation
Home installations can take between 1-3 days while business installations can take a little longer.
Timings depend on the size of system and complexity of your site. Disruption is kept to a minimum. Scaffolding usually goes up a day or two before and is taken down soon after.
Once the system is up and running we do a thorough handover to ensure you have full understanding of how the system functions and get your installation online to enable monitoring and control via an online portal on your smart devices.
3. Paperwork
We make all the necessary notifications to building control and your Distribution Network Operator (DNO).
We email the necessary paperwork required to sign up with your energy supply for the Smart Export Guarantee along with your invoice. Finally you will receive a handover pack which contains copies of all your certificates, warranties and information regarding operation and maintenance of your solar system.
Solar. Batteries. EV Chargers.
Solar panels and batteries - it’s possible to run all year round without ever paying more than off-peak. Make use of off-peak tariffs to import and store power when the price of electricity is at its lowest. Solar can also charge your car for free. Why not get in touch for a quote.
