Small scale wind turbines deliver energy at a rate of 50kW or less.
Yes, we can design a renewable energy solution that combines wind turbines with Solar PV systems, often these solutions include battery storage so any excess electricity you generate can be stored for future use or sold back to the grid.
An average sized Solar Thermal system can provide up to 70% of your hot water needs and save you significant heating costs.
Solar PV panels use the sun’s energy to generate electricity while Solar Thermal uses the suns energy to provide hot water for your home.
Solar thermal systems can be an efficient, environmentally friendly way to heat your swimming pool and reduce running costs compared with more traditional electric or oil boiler systems.
Battery storage can reduce your electricity costs, give you better grid independence and provide backup in the event of a power cut to your property.
This will depend on the size of your home and what you need the battery to supply. There is a variety of different battery options and our team can guide you to the perfect solution.
For every 1kW of electricity used by a GSHP it can provide 3 to 4 kW of heat output.
This depends on how much space is available and what current source of heating you have if you are replacing an existing system.
A GSHP is virtually silent and can be fitted inside your house.
Yes, as long as the ASHP has been correctly sized and designed for your property it will provide all your heating and hot water needs.
Due to the need for a bespoke design for each home, the cost will vary depending on the size of the property and how well insulated it is.
ASHPs are not considered to be noisy and do not require planning permission.
Air source heat pumps can be a great way to heat your swimming pool and can be combined with a solar PV system for an even more cost effective solution.
Solar photovoltaics (PV) convert light into electricity, they do not have any moving parts.
The majority of Solar PV panels are usually made up of silicon, glass and aluminium framework.
Solar Panels work best facing South but are still very efficient facing due East or West
Not necessarily, even a smaller roof can provide enough space for a suitable system.
Direct sunlight produces the most electricity, but the panels will work in all daylight conditions.
