Essex-based and owner-run. Josh and Spencer survey, design and install every system themselves — so you get honest advice, a fixed price, and the same faces from first visit to final handover.
A small business that treats your home like its reputation depends on it — because it does
Big national installers sell through call centres and hand the job to whoever's free. We're a two-person partnership: the people who quote are the people who fit it, and the people you ring if anything ever needs looking at.
Honest sizing. We're not here to sell you the biggest system — just the right one for your roof, budget and usage.
Real warranties. Manufacturer warranties of up to 25–30 years on panels and 10+ years on batteries and inverters — most products we fit can be extended by 2 years, to 12 in total — plus our own 6-year workmanship guarantee.
Transparent pricing. A fixed written quote with no hidden costs.
We visit, check your roof, fuse board and usage, and talk through what you want to achieve.

Is solar still worth it?
For most homes with a reasonable roof, yes — but it depends on your usage, roof direction and shading. We'll show you the expected generation and savings for your home, and tell you honestly if it isn't worth it.
Do I pay VAT on solar panels or batteries?
Solar panels and battery storage installed in homes are currently zero-rated for VAT in Great Britain, until 31 March 2027.
Will I get paid for the electricity I export?
Yes. Because we're MCS certified, you can sign up to a Smart Export Guarantee tariff with an energy supplier and get paid for the power you send to the grid.
Who will actually do the work?
We will. Josh and Spencer own the business and personally oversee every job from survey to handover — no call centres, no sales team.
