A Classic Energy Efficient Cottage In Bath

There is a beautiful residence outside Bath which is really motoring ahead with solar energy. Priston is where you will find a delightful little house called Rozel. The home was originally built in the 1600′s and has had many additions down through the years. There were alterations made in Victorian times, as well as cotemporary trappings.

But, this classical building now heralds environmental innovation. It was installed with solar panels a year and a half ago. They provide a plentiful supply of ecological energy and facilitate the Photovoltaic effect. This is where sunlight, hitting PV cells on the panels, turns solar radiation into electricity. This allows the owners to heat the house and have electricity without tapping into the national grid.

The house also allows the unique opportunity to recharge their ecological electric car. This not only removes the cost and carbon emissions emitted from filling a tank with petrol, but reduces the rate of car insurance. It reportedly does not cost as much to have a vehicle powered by renewable sources on the road.

This only further demonstrates the various beneficial effects of choosing solar power. PV Solar are always at the forefront of domestic photovoltaic solutions and our installation teams are in full vigour in the Bath area. Contact us today and discover the benefits of solar energy in your home.

Church Installs Solar Panels in Plymouth

Plymouth is a city on Devon’s south coast, on the South West of England. It is renowned for being a nautical city, but it is now exploring solar energy. The people of Plymouth have now been introduced to the possibilities of (PV) photovoltaic micro generation systems.

A local church has seen the light, by placing solar panels to its roof. St Matthias’s Church, in the artery of North Hill, has had a set of 16 panels installed. They have been put in to reduce the church’s energy bills as well as its carbon emissions. The chaplain, the Rev Paul Bryce, was looking for a way to cut down the church’s electricity payments. It was one of his congregation, studying renewable energy, whom reportedly suggested fixing solar panels to the church roof. The panels have been placed on the church hall, which is used for meetings and functions.

The energy produced by the panels may be evaluated on line. People can then take note of how much is being saved and the amount of free energy being diverted back into the church. It is not exported to the national grid. The project is a part of the Shrink the Footprint drive by the Church of England. The aim is to cut carbon emissions by four fifths (around 80%) by the year 2050.

This is a shining example of how expertly fitted PV solar panels, can have an advantageous, long standing effect. PV Solar are currently operating in the Plymouth area. Get in touch with one of our advisers today and find out how you can benefit from a photovoltaic system.

Home Improvement Expert Gives Praise On Photovoltaic System Installation

Dear Pv Solar,

I am writing to thank you for organising my solar panels the whole experience was excellent. As you well know, I was in the home improvement industry for over 30 years, and the single most important factor in that industry is giving first class customer service, incorporating a quality product, and then detailed attention at every stage of the process to get it right “First Time”.

Well your team achieved it!

The administration was well organised, kept me informed with all the necessary information regarding the process of the job and the fitting date.
The surveyor and fitting team were extremely efficient, courteous and customer friendly, all done and completed to our satisfaction within a day. No mess or fuss, just plenty of tea.

The system is working well, not too obtrusive on the roof, and what a pleasure it is to occasionally send units back to the grid when we’ve not used them. For us the most obvious benefit is the “Feed in Tariff’, the fact that we are using most of the units we generate….not having to buy them, but instead getting paid to generate them is a very pleasant sensation.

We also find the monitoring unit you fitted with the system very useful for tracking our daily/monthly generation.

Overall, we are delighted with our micro-generation project and are hopeful that by changing some of our energy usage habits we will reap excellent benefits over the next 25 years.

With thanks to you and your team.

Yours sincerely
Larry Condon

Photovoltaic System Installed Efficiently For Poole Based Customer

Hi PV Solar,

I’m writing to say how pleased we are with the solar panels you fitted for us. The whole process was quick and straightforward.  The sales representative was very well informed and clear in his presentation.

The installation team were efficient and pleasant to have in and around the house (and loft!). They worked quickly and everything was completed in less than a day.

The paperwork all seems clear and we are very pleased with everything – we only wish we could have afforded even more panels on our roof as it’s such a good and green idea.

Yours sincerely
Phil and Brenda Thompson
