⚡ We’re live! ⚡

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve now successfully commissioned the new commercial solar PV and battery storage system at The Elms Funeral Home.

With the system now generating clean renewable energy and the EPS backup supply fully operational, we’re entering the final stages of the project.

This installation features:
☀️ 32 high-performance solar panels
🔋 24kWh Fox ESS battery storage
⚡ Backup power capability to keep essential services running during a power outage

We can’t wait to showcase the finished installation, share the final results, and demonstrate just what this system is capable of.

Stay tuned… there’s much more to come!

A quick look at our ongoing solar installation at The Elms Funeral Home 🌞

The panels are now in place, marking a major step forward on this 32-panel commercial solar and battery project. There is still plenty to come, including the final electrical works, battery installation and commissioning of the completed system.

We are really pleased with how it is taking shape and cannot wait to share the finished result.

☀️ Project Update – The Elms

The solar array is now installed on our latest commercial project, comprising 32 solar panels, delivering 14.72kWp of generation capacity, paired with a 20kWh battery storage system.

It’s great to see the project taking shape. We’re still on site completing the installation, with commissioning and final testing still to come.

More updates to follow as we bring the system online.

🔍 Why MCS Certification Really Matters for Solar PV
When investing in solar panels, choosing the right installer is just as important as choosing the right system.
That’s why Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certification matters.

What MCS certification gives you as a homeowner:
🔒 Consumer protection – installations are independently audited and meet strict national standards
💷 SEG payments – MCS is required if you want to be paid for surplus electricity exported back to the grid
🧾 Access to finance & warranties – many lenders and insurers insist on MCS-certified systems
⚡ Correct system design – tailored to your property, usage and future energy needs
🏡 Long-term peace of mind – compliant, documented systems that protect your investment and add value

Solar PV is a long-term decision. MCS certification ensures your system isn’t just installed — it’s installed properly, with safeguards in place for years to come.
If a company isn’t MCS certified, you could be limiting your options later — even if the system looks the same on day one.

📩 Speak to an MCS-certified installer you can trust.

We’re proud to announce that we are now MCS Certified for Solar PV installations ☀️ What does this mean for you?

Becoming Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certified is a significant milestone for our business and, more importantly, a major benefit for our customers.

What this means for you:
✔️ Installations completed to nationally recognised standards
✔️ Eligibility for SEG payments (get paid for surplus energy you export)
✔️ Access to finance, warranties and insurance-backed guarantees
✔️ Full compliance, peace of mind and long-term protection

If you’re considering solar panels for your home, choosing an MCS-certified installer ensures your system is designed, installed and commissioned properly — not just now, but for the long term.

🌥️ Myth-Busting Saturday: Winter Woes
Myth: “Solar panels hibernate in winter.”

Fact: Modern LONGi modules capture diffuse light and actually prefer cooler temperatures—yield can reach 60 % of summer output even in December.

🔧 Customisation: We specify optimisers on shaded roofs, and all-black frames that blend with slate or tile.
