Panels and Mountings

Panels

We will continue to use technology which has proven reliability, from the world’s leading manufacturers such as REC, Sanyo and Kyocera. For lower budget installations, we also use Suntech or Hyundai panels. However, we are not tied to a particular manufacturer and will choose the best panels to suit your situation.

We will design a system with the modules that suit your situation best and give the highest return on your investment, but will avoid using products that may lead to maintenance issues in the future.

Mountings

Panels are mounted onto rails so that they sit above your roof tiles. This allows good ventilation, keeping the panels cool and improving their output. The rails are fitted using hooks which either fix over your existing battens or screw into your rafters.

We will choose the best system to suit your roof construction.

Hooks are fitted with lead flashing where necessary to ensure that the roof remains watertight for the lifetime of the system.

Workmanship

All our installations are conducted to all the applicable British Standards and are subject to our own internal quality checks. We carry out structural calculations on all traditional roofs and often need to carry out additional roof strengthening work. We then register the electrical and structural work with Local Authority Building Control via our accreditation body NAPIT.
