Grid connected Photovoltaic solar panels installations for the UK
The most cutting edge PV technology on the planet today

On-grid connected, are considered the 'Mercedes' of the solar panel industry, you can generate your own domestic electric for the next 30+ years as, global and national energy prices keep rising, while adding value and status to your property.

Advantages of installing a PV system

No emissions, No Noise
No maintenance (no moving parts to wear out)
Intergrated into or mounts onto an existing building
Visually attractive

Is my home suitable ?

This is dependent on the size of your roof. The panels can be configured in many different ways to fit, but the illustration (above) shows you the sizes for each 1kW needed, or approximately 8m sq of roof space for each 1kW installed. If roof space is an issue, another option, is to ground mount them on a frame within your garden. Visit our online survey for more information >>

Do I need planning permission ?

Heat my Home can not vouch for the decisions made by your local planning authority, and we recommend that you contact them at the offset. However unless you live in a listed building or conservation area, in our experience planning is generally granted or not required for PV solar, and arrays mounted less than 10cm above the roof ridge line.

What maintenance is required ?

One of the advantages of PV solar over other UK micro generation technologies, is that minimal maintenance is required because it is a solid state energy conversion process. The only requirement is for periodic cleaning of the PV arrays, for any domestic electrical installation.

Freeze to 14p per unit

PV Feasibility Equations

Your yearly electric bill x 30 years
+ 27% (latest energy increases)
+ 3% (yearly inflation)
= your future energy costs

Buying PV effectively freezes your cost per unit to 14p per unit, of electricity for the next 30+ years.

This equation does not take into consideration any future energy price rises, within the next 30 years, which are inevitable. Now decide if you want to spend this money as you do now, or choose the eco-friendly choice for your children or grandchildren. Our panels come with a 20 year warranty.

A word about quality

Because we are independent, we have only showcase the latest and premium solar panel systems. We are certainly not the cheapest (You get what you pay for), but insist on high quality at a reasonable cost.

Questions when choosing PV Solar Panels

1. How much roof space do I need? The system does take alot of roofspace, but (photovoltaic) pv systems can be installed within your garden area using 'A' frames, facing south, if roofspace is a problem.

2. Are they manufactured within the UK, supporting british manufacturers, helping us become a leading renewable energy supplier to the up and coming worldwide industry. Please support British industry.

3. I heard PV solar panels are expensive, but with generous DTI grants available, and the increase in your house price after install, with relief from the up and coming energy prices, investment in such a system, has now become a real option millions of homes across the UK.

4. Can I sell my surplus energy? Yes, ROC's (Renewable energy certificates) are credited to you and tradeable. As energy prices rise, these are increasing in value, earn everyday, and the more you save energy within your household, the more you will earn.

5. Will installation have a large impact on my home? Once the solar panels are installed on the roof with scaffolding, the inside components do not take any inside space up. Installations usually can be done within 3-4 days, with installers being considerate, clean and tidy.

6. What size solar panel system will I need? This depends on your energy consumption rate. You can find this out by looking at your electricity bill. (Kwh) We can help you work out what size pv system is required for your household.

7. Do I need planning permission? Only if you live within a conservation area, or in a listed building. It is worth contacting your local council beforehand.

Buying a solar panel is giving back to our earth, because our planet, has provided so much within our lives, now that's payback...
