Making the move to solar could be a environmental move, or you are just cutting the cost. and protecting your home and family. which ever way your looking at your steps into solar the cost and value is a consideration.
Having solar installed is one of the big things in life, with quotes coming in at £10,000 + you are probably wondering if it is worth it?? Well lets start by halfling that price. We are not club members, so you don’t have to pay for all the fees that members have, the short coming here is hardly worth noticing, you wont get SEG, but you can use alternatives that actually pay more and can pay you to use electricity.
Typically, we have came in around half the price of most quotes we have seen for like for like. This shows that many companies are in it for the money. Our service is a lot different, in that our income comes from consultations and installations as well as our hardware that we make in house. We also buy direct, this makes savings for you as the supply chain has less hands to feed and with the average profit of 15%, you can see how solar can cost 60% more from most suppliers.
Solar Grants
Using the search bar, type in solar grants. to get a list of solar grants that are in the main public view, you should also contact the local council as they don’t advertise but also have grants they can give you.
We are known to the local Authority in North Hampshire for solar installations and our services, because we have been pushing grants to make solar available.
Upgrade pathway
An upgrade pathway is what it may sound like to you, if you need a pathway to grow your solar installation then we can select the right hardware that can make that happen for you.
There is not a great deal of hardware that can be used for this as there are stages where chunks of money have to go, the battery for example. however we did some math on this so we know what you can or cannot achieve.
Inverters have a minimum start up requirement from the solar panels, therefore the two go hand in hand.
Then, you can have inverters that will work without the battery, allowing you to add a battery later. this breaks down the cost yet again.
The type of installation can make a big difference, you can save around £1,000 by using grid attached systems. They work like an off grid inverter, but use the grid as a back up and charger. If you do have off Grid then you would use a ATS, which allows you to switch between on and off grid.
Example Pathway.
Installation 1 DIY — £800 (3 payments of £266) Month saving up to £1000, your doing good already if you can use what you make. this means that the initial costs are covered and we can move on to batteries.
A battery pack is around £700. this can be used to store power made in the day for later use.
the packs last a few years and we will say 5 years. the energy they can store and the value, means that they pay for themselves and there replacement after 5 years. You also get a recycling payment to..
The next step would be adding more solar. the key here is to set aside what you would have normally spent to up grade your solar installation.
At each stage, you will find the finance available from the shop, the finance is not with us, but the provider is listed.
You could start with a small grid tied system, they work to off set rather than setting you free, the path is much smaller as you cannot add a battery later, unless you change the inverter or add a AC coupled inverter.
