Power Your Future: Simple Solar Solutions for Your Home or Workshop
Tired of the complexity surrounding solar energy? Building solar arrays can feel like a daunting task, with an overwhelming array of choices. We’ve streamlined the entire process with our innovative bi-facial solar panel kit, providing everything you need from high-performance panels to a robust mounting rail system. We make installation straightforward, so you can start generating your own clean energy with ease.
We designed this kit by tackling the most common challenges head-on: simplifying mounting, ensuring all essential components are included, and maximizing your return on investment. The result? A remarkably simple, all-in-one solution. This versatile kit is perfectly sized for a 10 x 8-foot building – a common shed dimension. But we didn’t stop there. For those looking to integrate solar on bungalows, our kits are stackable, allowing you to effortlessly combine them and create a custom solar array tailored to your exact energy needs.
Transparent Pricing, Unbeatable Value, and Free Delivery
Invest in your energy independence for just £340. With our commitment to transparency, you’ll find no hidden fees or surprising delivery costs. In fact, we offer free delivery (some limitations apply) directly to your door. This inclusive price covers everything required to install 1.5kW of powerful solar energy. – link
Unlock More Power: The Advantage of Bi-Facial Panels
While most solar panels are rated in kWp (kilowatts peak), our sleek, all-black panels are bi-facial. This means their STC (Standard Test Conditions) rating only accounts for the front side. However, you can expect to generate approximately up to 650W per panel, with additional “gains” from the rear side depending on your mounting setup and ambient light conditions. This innovative technology allows you to capture more sunlight and generate more power from a smaller footprint.
Proven Performance, Rapid Installation: See It in Action
Curious about real-world performance? The image at the top of this page showcases our system actively generating power at our own workshop. This isn’t just a concept; it’s been rigorously tested and proven in a working environment. That’s why we confidently state that our kit can be installed in approximately 50 minutes.
Our workshop setup, complete with a lamp post and a nearby bush, intentionally demonstrates our panels tilted east and experiencing evening shade. By facing these real-world challenges ourselves, we gain invaluable insights into how various environmental factors impact performance. This hands-on experience allows us to provide you with expert advice and effective solutions, regardless of your unique installation environment.
Versatile Mounting & Essential Considerations
Our kit includes pan-tile hooks, designed for compatibility with most roof tiles (please note: not suitable for slate). For long-term durability and peace of mind, we strongly recommend sealing all hook mounting points. Additionally, carefully plan the routing of your cables from the array for a clean and safe installation.
Please be aware that cables and a DC isolator are not included in the kit. However, these essential components are readily available in our shop, or simply ask us for guidance. Expect them to be around £55.00 as a general estimate.
Fast Delivery: Get Started Sooner
From the moment you place your order, expect delivery within approximately 6 days. While we strive for promptness, please note that occasionally, order notifications may have a one-day delay. You can speed things along with directly purchasing and payment, meaning that you could get your order in as little as 48 hours.
Your Questions Answered:
Can I combine multiple kits to expand my system? Absolutely! Our kits are designed for seamless integration. While very large arrays might benefit from a rail joiner, our kits typically include everything you need. You have the flexibility to stack panels along or upwards, utilizing a portrait orientation. Keep in mind that each panel measures 209cm, and it’s advisable to leave a 20cm gap around the edge of the roof when mounting on a house.
Why a silver mounting system? It’s simple: black absorbs heat, and solar panels are less efficient when hot. Our bi-facial panels benefit immensely from a silver mounting system, as it reflects light onto the back of the panels boosting power generation.
Can I use this kit for a wooden ground mount? Yes, you can! Just let us know, and we’ll swap out the standard mounts for hangers, providing you with more clear space for ground-based installations.
What’s the warranty on the panels? Enjoy peace of mind with a 25-year linear performance warranty. This includes a 1.9% degradation in the first year and a mere 0.5% each subsequent year, ensuring long-term energy production.
Is this kit suitable for DIY installation? Its DIY-friendliness depends on your specific mounting location. Uneven roofs, for instance, can present safety challenges. It’s crucial to understand that connecting just two or three panels can raise the voltage to a dangerous level. Always ensure you do not complete a circuit until you are ready and have taken all necessary safety precautions. If your hooks aren’t perfectly aligned, focus on aligning the panels themselves. Following a roofline or using a square and the rail will help ensure a straight installation, and aligning the panels on their edge will help conceal most minor inconsistencies.
Can I install this on a metal roof? This particular kit is not recommended for metal roofs. For those applications, please inquire about our mini-rail kit, specifically designed for metal and EPDM roofs.
Will my entire order arrive together? Yes! We partner with trusted delivery services to ensure your complete kit arrives in one comprehensive shipment. If you’ve ordered mini-rails, they’ll be posted separately, but we aim for all components to arrive on the same day, typically within around 5 working days.
