Bespoke Solar Panel solutions for every property
From family homes to large commercial buildings, solar panels provide a reliable, low-carbon way to generate clean electricity on site.
Designed to deliver outstanding efficiency, this proven renewable technology helps reduce energy costs and carbon emissions while supplying sustainable power throughout the year.
Domestic Properties
Domestic solar panels are a smart investment for UK homeowners, helping to cut energy bills, reduce reliance on the grid, and lower your carbon footprint.
Modern solar PV systems work very efficiently in the UK climate, are quick to install, and can add long-term value to your home while protecting you from rising energy costs
Commercial Properties
Commercial solar panels offer UK businesses a powerful way to reduce operating costs, stabilise energy expenses, and demonstrate a clear commitment to sustainability.
By generating clean electricity on-site, organisations can improve energy resilience, cut carbon emissions, and achieve strong long-term returns while enhancing their environmental credentials.
Reduce Your Electricity Bills
Solar panels are a smart way to cut electricity bills by allowing you to generate your own clean power at home.
The electricity your solar panels produce can be used immediately to run your appliances and lighting, reducing the amount of energy you need to buy from the grid.
With rising energy costs, this means greater control over your bills and long-term savings, while also making your home more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
Smart Export Tariff
The Smart Export Tariff (SEG) lets you earn money from the renewable electricity your solar panels generate but don’t use.
Instead of letting excess energy go to waste, it is exported back to the grid and your energy supplier pays you for it.
This means you can make better use of the power you produce, further reducing your overall energy costs while increasing the long-term value of your solar installation.
Â
Low Maintenance - Long Lifespan
Solar panels are a reliable, low-maintenance energy solution designed to perform for decades.
With no moving parts, they require very little upkeep beyond occasional cleaning and routine checks, helping to keep ongoing costs low.
Built to withstand the elements, modern solar panels typically have long lifespans and strong warranties, providing consistent, dependable energy generation and long-term peace of mind.

Solar Panel FAQs
If you have any questions about solar panels, contact our team, we are happy to help.
The number of solar panels you need depends on several factors, including your energy consumption, the size and orientation of your roof, and your location. By booking a free survey with our team, we can identify exactly what size system will be most beneficial for the property.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on a flat roof. However, there are some considerations and installation methods to keep in mind when installing solar panels on a flat roof:
- Tilted Racking Systems
- Ballast or Weighted Systems
- Wind Considerations
- Roof Material and Condition
- Maintenance Access
- Local Regulations and Permits
- Weight Distribution
All of the above will be considered on a site survey by one of our experts.
To learn more about these considerations in our blog post: Solar Panel Considerations for Flat Roofs.
Yes, you can install solar panels on both east and west facing roofs, but it’s important to understand how the orientation and tilt of these panels will affect their energy production.
To learn more, see our blog post: East and west-facing solar panels vs south-facing panels.
Yes, you can install solar panels on a slate-tiled roof, but it requires special consideration and expertise to ensure a proper installation that does not damage the roof and maintains its integrity.
Keep in mind that the installation of solar panels on a slate roof can be more complex and costly than on other roofing materials.
However, when done correctly, it can be a sustainable and energy-efficient choice that preserves the beauty and functionality of your slate roof.
Unfortunately, there are no specific solar panel grants, but the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme, requires your energy supplier to pay you for exporting excess electricity to the grid. The rates vary by supplier and the time of day, but generally range from 1p to 16p per kWh.
Yes you can, and with Ipsum it’s simple. Thanks to our finance partners, you can spread the cost of your solar panel system, with simple, monthly instalments. See our finance details here, or contact our team for more information.
For most homes and businesses, you will not need planning permission to have solar panels. However, if your property is a listed building, or in a conservation area, you may need permission from the local council. If needed, we can help you with this.
Yes – if you want to benefit from the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme, you will need to tell your supplier when your solar panels will be installed. You will also need a smart meter.

Solar Battery Storage
Solar battery storage lets you save any extra electricity your solar panels produce, so you can use it later when you need it, instead of sending it back to the grid.
You can also charge your batteries overnight using cheaper energy tariffs, helping you lower your overall energy costs.
With energy prices at an all-time high, this setup is a smart and reliable way to cut your bills and get the most out of your solar panels.
