Services
We have done the research (so you don't have to) and found local suppliers who are all MCS certified. This is an important accreditation, as your installation has to be carried out by an MCS certified company in order to qualify for the feed-in tariff.
MCS is the Microgeneration Certification scheme - click here for more details.
In association with these suppliers, we can provide advice, survey, supply and install of the following schemes:
Solar pv
Solar pv (photovoltaic) is the worlds fastest-growing energy technology's. Solar pv generates electric power by using solar cells to convert energy from either the sun or just daylight to produce electricity. New feed in tariff means you will be paid 41.3p for every KWH generated, wether you use it or not.
For an investment of £12500 you can get a £1000 income for the next 25 years guaranteed!!
See our dedicated Solar PV page for further details.
Solar thermal
This converts sunlight energy to hot water.
Installing a solar domestic hot water (SDHW) system is one of the best investments homeowners can make to reduce their electric or natural gas water heating bills, with typical financial paybacks at less than eight years. Depending on the size of the system you install, your local climate, and your hot water use, SDHW systems can cut your water heating bills by 40 to 80 percent.
A collector is used to collect the solar energy using a heat transfer fluid. There are two main types of collectors:
- The flat plate collector is the most common type of collector. It consists of an insulated weatherproof box containing a dark solar absorber plate under one or more transparent covering layers.
- The evacuated-tube collector is made up of rows of parallel, transparent glass tubes. Each tube consists of a glass outer tube and an inner tube, or absorber, covered with a selective coating that absorbs solar energy well but inhibits radiative heat loss. The air is removed from the space between the tubes to form a vacuum, which eliminates conductive and convective heat losses.
Wind turbines
A wind turbine is a rotary device that extracts energy from the wind. In the UK we have 40% of Europe's total wind energy.
Avoid flat batteries and save money with the renowned, quiet running wind charges. Trickle charging from just 5 knots (6mph)
The vertical wind turbines are useful in areas where a conventional (horizontal axis) turbine would be dangerous - i.e. they can be used around car park etc.
Biomass:
providing environmentally-friendly energy at a time when the world needs to slow down global warming.
Biomass boilers offer a cost effective alternative for consumers with non mains fossil fuel heating systems such as oil and LPG.
WE offer a complete range of biomass boilers from 15-120 kW.
These boilers can utilise a range of fuels from grain and wood pellets to wood chip, straw and energy crops.
Ground source heat pump:
move stored solar energy from the ground into the home.
Ground source heat pumps simply move energy, rather than creating it.
Saves between 30 and 70 percent on existing bills and fits in to your current heating system.
A ground source heat pump is 400 percent efficient, for every 1KWhr of electricity consumed by the heat pump it can produce 4KW of heat.
EPCs
Our fully qualified domestic and commercial energy assessor can carry out a survey on your home to determine it's energy efficiency. This can be used to show where improvements can be made. They are also the required document if you want to sell, let or lease your home or business.
Before and after EPCs can show how you have improved your home or business.
