The practical guide
How your solar system works.
Solar panels
High-performance panels on your roof convert sunlight into electricity during daylight hours, powering your home with clean, free energy.
Inverter
This smart device converts the DC electricity generated by the panels into usable AC power for your lights, appliances, and devices.
Power distribution
The electricity you generate is used instantly in your home, exported to the grid for payment through the Smart Export Guarantee, or stored in your battery for later use.
Energy storage
A battery system sized to your exact usage and lifestyle, so you can store excess energy and maximise self-consumption, reducing your reliance on the grid, especially in the evenings.
Live monitoring
Track your system’s performance in real time. See generation, consumption, battery levels, and savings directly from your phone.
Mounting systems
Fitted to your roof, whatever the shape.
We install every major mounting type used in the UK, chosen to suit your roof structure, aesthetic preference and long-term performance.
Most commonOn-roof
Panels mounted on rails above existing tiles or slates. Fast, cost-effective and suitable for almost any pitched roof.

Premium finishIn-roof (integrated)
Panels sit flush within the roof in place of tiles, creating a sleek architectural look. Ideal for new builds and re-roofs.
- Flush, low-profile aesthetic
- Replaces tiles, saves material
- Perfect for new builds
No roof penetrationFlat roof ballasted
Non-penetrative ballasted frames angled for optimal generation. Protects warranties on flat and rubber roofs.
- 10–15° tilt for yield
- Zero waterproofing risk
- East/west or south arrays
BespokeGround & outbuilding
Ground-mounted arrays or installs on garages, garden offices and barns, perfect when the main roof isn't suitable.
- Optimal orientation & tilt
- Great for shaded main roofs
- Scales to large systems

Smart Export Guarantee
Get paid for every unit you don't use.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a government-backed scheme that pays you for surplus electricity your system exports to the grid. Every kWh you don't use at home earns you money from your energy supplier.
Typical export rates
15p–30p per kWh depending on your supplier and tariff.
Paid quarterly
Direct credit to your bill or bank account. No paperwork.
We register you
We handle the MCS certificate and DNO notification needed to apply.
Typical 4kWp system
£200–£450
earned per year via SEG
Add a battery to maximise self-consumption first, then export the rest at peak times for higher rates.
