Steve's driving on sunshine ☀️🚗

He was replacing his roof anyway — so instead of bolting solar on top afterwards, we fitted a 7.7kW in-roof system as part of the new roof itself. One scaffold, one job, one bill. Panels sitting completely flush, no brackets, no gaps.

Add in an 11.55kWh battery and an EV charger, and Steve's now storing his own power, charging overnight on a cheap rate, and topping the car up straight from his roof in summer.

But don't take our word for it — here's Steve on how the whole thing went 👇

☀️🔋 Solar Panels & Battery Storage Install | Hebburn, South Tyneside

Let us talk you through another fantastic solar and battery installation this time in Hebburn, South Tyneside.

Another North East home now powered by the sun — generating, storing and using its own clean energy to take a serious chunk out of those rising electricity bills.

🔧 The system at a glance:

✅ 15 High-efficiency solar PV panels
✅ 19.2 kw Home battery storage for round-the-clock self-consumption
✅ Smart app monitoring — see exactly what you're generating, using and saving

Solar on its own is great. Solar with a battery is a game-changer — it means the energy you generate during the day powers your evenings too, instead of being exported back to the grid for pennies.

What actually happens to your home or business when the power goes out?

For most people, a power cut means a bit of inconvenience — a dark room, a cold cuppa, maybe a lost TV show. But for a growing number of households and businesses, it’s a much bigger deal than that.

If you work from home, your broadband drops, your screens go off and that client call disappears mid-sentence. If someone in your household relies on medical equipment, a stairlift or heating controls, it stops being an inconvenience and starts being a genuine concern. If you run a business, it’s lost sales, frustrated customers and systems going dark at exactly the wrong moment.

There’s a proper solution to this — and it’s one more people should know about.

We install solar PV systems with battery storage and whole home or whole site changeover switches. When the grid goes down, your system detects it and switches to battery power automatically. We’re talking under 20 milliseconds — faster than your lights have time to flicker. Your router stays on. Your heating controls keep running. Medical equipment stays live. Phones keep charging. For a business, your lighting, CCTV, card terminals and security systems carry on without missing a beat.

There’s no manual switching, no scrambling around in the dark, no extension leads running across the kitchen floor. It just works — silently, instantly, automatically.

And because the battery is fed by solar panels on your roof during the day, it’s topping itself up continuously. So even a longer outage isn’t the crisis it used to be.

Whether you work from home, have a family member with health needs, run a business from your premises, or you’ve simply had one too many power cuts — this is worth knowing about.

Drop us a message or give us a call. We cover residential and commercial installations across the North East and we’re always happy to talk through what a system would look like for your property. 👇

Last Saturday, the grid was so full of clean power it started paying people to use electricity. ⚡

For nine hours straight, wholesale prices went negative right across all 14 UK regions — bottoming out at -8.9p a unit at midday. Then by tea time it flipped to over 20p.

Here's the catch: most homes can't touch that cheap window. You're out, or barely using anything between 7am and 4pm — then you pay full whack at 8pm when the kettle, oven and telly all come on at once.

Solar panels and a home battery flip that on its head. You bank the free daytime energy and run the whole house on it through the expensive evening peak. On a day like Saturday, that's money straight off your bill.

We pulled the real region-by-region figures — including right here in the North East — and broke down exactly how to cash in. 👇
Were you on Octopus Agile or EDF FreePhase on Saturday? Did you catch the negative prices? 👇

Solar & battery install — Rickleton, Washington ☀️🔋

Michael had been thinking about solar for two years before he finally took the plunge. A few weeks after switch-on, we sat down with him to talk about why he chose Amp, what install day was actually like, and what he'd say to anyone still on the fence.

No script. No sales pitch. Just an honest review from a Washington homeowner who's just been through it. 👇

If you're in the North East and weighing up solar, this is the video to watch.

📍 Harraton, Washington

Another one done, and on a beautiful sunny day too, so we couldn't resist getting the drone up for this install. Sit back and enjoy the view. ☀️

There's something special about seeing a system come together from above. Every panel placed with purpose, every connection made to last.

This is what we love about what we do. Helping homeowners across the North East take control of their energy, cut their bills, and future-proof their homes — one rooftop at a time.

If you're thinking about going solar, getting a heat pump, adding battery storage or an EV charger — we'd love to chat. No pressure, no jargon.

Just honest advice from a local team who genuinely cares about getting it right.
