Welcome to the UK's number 1 Independant resource for information on solar panels


The UK has one of the fastest-growing markets for solar panels in the world, and it's a common misconception that we don't get enough sun here in Blighty to make solar power viable.

This site has something for you if you're:

-A homeowner doing some some research into solar energy for your home before you take the plunge

-A homeowner who knows what you want and need to source an installer, or compare manufacturers of solar panels

-An installer looking for information on solar power, siting of collectors, panel manufacturers, safety devices and much much more



Unfortunately, the UK solar industry still has it's fair share of cowboys, who would rather end users knew nothing about the technology (which actually isn't at all complicated), so that they can go about their business of pulling the wool over their customer's eyes.

Established and reputable solar installers would much rather end users had some basic knowledge to have a meaningful conversation on the subject, when it comes down to visiting your home to discuss your requirements..

Because of this, we've packed this site full of useful information about solar energy, and the way in which it can be harnessed to help you make that next important step into the ever-growing renewable energy market.

So add this site to your favourites, and pop back whenever you need further info...

Take a look at some of the pages below for starters...
