Unbeatable returns from the UK's favourite renewable energy
Solar photovoltaics are the UK’s most popular renewable energy product and deliver substantial returns from the government Feed-in Tariff.
Installed today and generating free electricity and income for your business tomorrow, Solar Panels are a proven, robust, plug-and-play technology.
In the UK they work everywhere, all year round; from Scotland to Cornwall, even on cloudy days.

Solar Panels earn a substantial income from the Feed-in and Export Tariffs.
The government Feed-in Tariff is an index-linked incentive that pays you for every unit of electricity your Solar Panels generate.
The Export Tariff is the price at which you can sell the solar electricity you don’t use to the grid.
Tariff rates are reviewed every three months but fixed for you for 20 years from the time your system is commissioned. Rates go up with inflation.
| Max. Size (kWp) | Rate / kWh |
|---|---|
| 10 | 4.04p |
| 50 | 4.25p |
| 250 | 1.94p |
Solar panels capture solar irradiation and convert it into electricity.
Your business will then use both electricity from your solar panels and the grid. When you generate more solar electricity than you are using, the excess is automatically supplied back to the grid.
The process of using solar and grid electricity is continuous and automatic so there is no interruption to supply.
Solar PV installations are straightforward, fast and won’t disrupt your business.
Almost all businesses can enjoy the benefits of Solar Photovoltaic Panels. The more roof or land space you have, the more panels you can accommodate and the more financial benefit you will achieve.
The Feed-in Tariff and Export Tariff are payable to the owner of the solar array. Owners in residence will enjoy the greatest benefits from a Solar PV system, but if you are a leaseholder you also stand to gain with a substantial reduction in your electricity bills.
We offer two funding options so that a new Solar Photovoltaic system is within everyone’s budget.

Our experienced engineers understand the crowded solar market and because we’re independent we’re free to recommend panels that best suit your organisation.
We have developed excellent relationships with all the major panel suppliers so we can negotiate the very best prices for you.
