One thing that often surprises homeowners is how little time gets spent talking about the solar panels themselves. That might sound odd coming from a renewable energy company, but after enough conversations with homeowners, landlords and business owners, a pattern starts to emerge. The projects that deliver the best long-term results are rarely the ones...
One of the biggest misconceptions around solar is that panels don’t last and somehow stop working once they reach 20 or 25 years old. In reality, many of the systems installed during the early Feed-in Tariff years are still quietly generating electricity across the UK today. Solar panels don’t suddenly fail once they reach a...
As winter fades and the days start getting longer, most people turn their attention to jobs around the house. Gutters get cleared, gardens get sorted, and anything that’s taken a bit of a hit over the colder months gets looked at properly. Your solar panels deserve the same attention. They’re built to be low maintenance...
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your home’s energy system, the government’s new Warm Homes Plan might be the right moment to start. Touted as the biggest home energy upgrade in British history, the plan aims to help millions of households cut their bills and reduce their carbon footprint. It includes support for insulation, low-carbon...
If you’re thinking about solar panels, it’s natural to wonder whether winter is the right time to invest. The days are shorter, the skies are greyer, and the sun feels like it’s on holiday until March at the earliest. So is it really worth getting solar panels when there’s not much sunlight around? The short...
If you already have solar panels on your property, you’re probably ahead of the curve. But technology moves quickly, and what was state-of-the-art five or ten years ago can start to look a little dated today. We’re increasingly hearing from people who had solar systems installed some time ago and are now wondering whether it’s...
In recent years, the UK has made major strides in the adoption of renewable energy. From solar panels and heat pumps to EV chargers and battery storage, more homes than ever are now equipped with low-carbon technology. But despite this momentum, a growing number of households are finding it harder to stick with green energy...
As the demand for clean energy grows, so too does the presence of solar farms in the British countryside. At face value, solar farms offer a win-win: low-carbon electricity generation, lower reliance on fossil fuels, and progress toward Net Zero. So why do so many people object to them? The answer isn’t straightforward. While public...
