Quality Service & Installations
Highly trained, motivated and experienced installers are at the heart of our service. The quality of their work will ensure maximum efficiency and longevity of the systems installed. We know that our solar systems, when installed professionally, will transform the way in which energy is supplied to your property.
Why Should We All Use Solar Energy?
Solar energy is a renewable source of energy which means we will not run out of it. Unlike fossil fuels, that will expire in another few decades, solar energy is never going to run out. We will continue to use solar energy for as long as the sun is shining.
Clean Energy Source: No contamination. That means, once your solar panels are installed, they will not damage the atmosphere; this is a huge benefit compared to other energy sources.
Greatly Reduced Electricity Bills: Power your property for free rather than paying for electricity from your utility company. You can also now sell surplus solar electricity to your utility company to further reduce your electricity bill. What’s more, every time your utility company raises the cost of electricity in the future, your investment grows.
The Solar Energy Monitoring App: See exactly how much electricity your solar system produces and how much you consume in your property. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s a great energy management tool and is included with all our solar electricity systems.
Finance available: Start saving money from Day One!
Low Maintenance: Modern, quality solar panels require very little maintenance as they do not involve any moving parts. They also come with a 25 year performance guarantee and a life expectancy of over 30 years.

I just wanted to say that throughout all of the works your team has been very professional, polite, and pleasant. I can't remember all their names but José was the person I spoke to most of the time.
