A relatively simple way to introduce renewable energy into new and existing homes…

By now we’ve all heard of solar power, whether it’s powering your little garden lights or your home the concept is still pretty much the same.

Solar Panels (or Photovoltaics/PV) take the sun’s energy (renewable energy) and then convert it into electricity that we can use to heat or light our homes. Traditionally solar panels are installed on the roof however they have been known to also be installed in gardens, green roofs and smaller outbuildings.
