☀️ Another quality solar installation completed.

This customer wanted all the benefits of solar, but without compromising the appearance of their home.

To achieve this, we installed a 6.8kW solar PV system using an in roof mounting system, giving the panels a sleek, low-profile flush finish that complements the roof rather than standing proud of it.

The system is paired with a 10kWh Anker SOLIX battery, allowing the homeowner to store excess generation during the day and use it when they need it most.

With the recent sunshine, the system has been performing exceptionally well—generating plenty of clean energy while keeping the battery charged and reducing reliance on the grid. 🌞🔋

Every installation is designed around the customer’s needs, whether that’s maximum generation, battery storage, or achieving the cleanest possible finish.

If you’re thinking about solar or battery storage, get in touch for a free, no-obligation quotation.

We were very pleased with the end result of this one! Last week we completed the electrical installation at the stunning new paving centre at Gibson Paving

From feature lighting and ambient outdoor illumination to clean modern finishes throughout, this project was all about bringing the space to life after dark 🌙✨

A great collaboration on a seriously impressive showroom and landscape display 👌

Big thanks to Allan and Sharon and the Gibson Paving team for trusting us with the job.
