Renewables & Microgeneration

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems

• How it’s done: How it’s done: Solar panels are installed on your roof to capture daylight and convert it into usable electricity. The system connects to your home’s electricity supply, helping to reduce reliance on electricity from the national grid.

• Energy-saving benefits: Generates renewable electricity that can help reduce the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid, potentially lowering your energy bills and carbon emissions. Surplus electricity can often be stored in a battery or exported to the grid, depending on the system and applicable tariff arrangements.

Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)

• How it’s done: An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air, compresses it, and uses it to provide space heating and hot water inside your home.

• Energy-saving benefits: Energy-saving benefits: An air source heat pump can deliver more heat energy than the electrical energy it consumes, depending on the system, property and operating conditions. It is a low-carbon alternative to conventional heating systems and can help reduce carbon emissions. Running costs will vary depending on the customer’s existing heating system, fuel type, energy tariff, property characteristics and individual energy usage.
