System components

Understanding Your Solar System

A complete residential solar PV system is made up of four main components, all of which we specify, supply, and install as part of your package.

Solar Panels

The power source

Monocrystalline silicon panels are the most efficient type available for residential use. Each panel typically generates 350–450W under full sun. A typical home installation uses between 8 and 20 panels, depending on roof size and energy demand. Panels carry a 25-year linear performance guarantee from the manufacturer.

350–450W per panel · 25-year performance guarantee

Inverter

The brain of the system

The inverter converts the DC electricity generated by your panels into 240V AC that your home appliances can use. A string inverter handles all panels together; a hybrid inverter additionally manages battery storage if you choose to add one now or in the future. Your solar panel fitter will specify the right inverter type for your property and usage profile.

String or hybrid · Battery-ready options available

Mounting System

The structural foundation

Panels are fixed to your roof using an engineered aluminium rail system bolted directly into your roof rafters. The mounting solution is specific to your roof type — pitched tile, slate, or flat roof — and is designed to be fully weatherproof for the lifetime of the system. No penetrations are left exposed.

Monitoring System

Track your generation

Most inverters come with a companion smartphone app that shows live solar generation, home energy consumption, and export to the grid. You can track daily, monthly, and annual output and see exactly how much energy — and money — your panels are generating. We set this up and walk you through it on installation day.
