Powering homes and businesses throughout Southend-on-Sea and Essex with the latest and greatest solar PV panels.

Why Solar PV? Why Now?

The cost of heating and powering your home continues to rise, while climate change remains a pressing issue affecting our planet today.

Investing in solar PV panels is a smart, sustainable way to take control of your energy use. By capturing the sun’s natural energy and converting it into electricity, you can reduce your dependence on the National Grid. With the addition of solar batteries, you can even store excess energy for use later, such as in the evenings or at night when the sun isn’t shining, maximising your efficiency and savings.

How do Solar PV Panels Work?

Solar PV panels are made up of silicon cells that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight.

The energy they produce is in the form of direct current (DC). Since most household appliances run on alternating current (AC), an inverter is installed alongside the system to convert the DC into usable AC electricity. This converted energy is then used to power your home’s appliances, devices, and systems.

While solar PV systems perform best in bright sunlight, modern technology means they still generate electricity even on cloudy days—making them a reliable choice year-round.

Solar PV Panels: What You Need to Know

  • In most cases, you won’t need planning permission for solar PV panels—though it’s always wise to double-check with your local planning office.
  • Your PV system must be registered with your Distribution Network Operator (DNO)—but don’t worry, we’ll take care of that for you.
  • Solar panels are a long-term investment. Over time, the reduction in your monthly energy bills can deliver a solid return on investment.
  • Pairing your PV panels with solar battery storage lets you manage your energy use more efficiently, storing excess electricity for when you need it most.
  • You can choose to use the electricity in your home or sell any surplus energy back to the National Grid.
