First the Bad – January 2025 sees the Energy price cap rise again.

The good news is prices of top quality solar panels and storage batteries have dropped significantly over the past month.

We install solar panels with industry leading performance, such as REC Alpha Pure Rs manufactured in Singapore. Pair these with SolarEdge inverters and DC-coupled storage batteries and you’ve got a high quality, long warranty system which will carry on out-performing many others for years to come.

Now to the Ugly – you’ve guessed it, buying cheap components. Their provenance is doubtful and it can lead to problems down the line when they fail; why enter the race to the bottom, when it’s never been cheaper to install super high quality components.

The solar panels we currently install are REC Alph

The solar panels we currently install are REC Alpha Pure-R’s with industry leading power density of 222watts/m². All this is possible thanks to the bifacial HJT technology used in the manufacture of these solar panels.

Manufactured in Singapore by REC Solar, the higher power density (watts/m²) generates more energy from the same area. Designed to capture sunlight from both sides, they maximize energy production and boost your system’s output.

Not once, but twice! This happy customer in Worces

Not once, but twice! This happy customer in Worcestershire has returned for another solar PV system. This is what he said on Which? Trusted Trader...

"I used Solarkinetics to install PV and batteries on a house I was building in 2015. They were superb and worked with me to achieve the system that I wanted. A house I recently purchased had planning permission for additional PV and Solarkinetics were my first choice. Again, they worked with me to develop the second PV installation with battery backup and gave me options. When National Grid had concerns they found a way to address them.

I would recommend Solarkinetics to anyone adding PV to their home."

With UK energy prices going up by 10% this autumn

With UK energy prices going up by 10% this autumn now is a great time to look at how solar PV can reduce your electricity bill – and save the planet at the same time.

Ofgem announced on Friday 23 August that the energy price cap will increase by 10% from 1 October 2024.

“As well as seeing an uptick in interest for solar PV, people are wanting to add battery storage to their existing solar system,” said Jaine Yule, Director of Solarkinetics Limited.

“Buying in electricity is often up to four times the price of what you’ll get if you sell it back to the grid. Being able to use the electricity you generate by storing it in batteries for use later makes perfect sense.”

The Solarkinetics team were working on the Isle of Canna, off the west coast of Scotland last week. Everyone mucked in, installing a 13.9kW array of 34 x 410W REC Alpha Pure R solar panels on a community hub. And when we say everyone that included our very own Jaine Yule!

The view across the harbour to the Isles of Rum and Eigg were stunning so was the Foraged Kelp Salad at the Canna Cafe. No wonder this is a popular spot for intrepid tourists wanting a holiday away from it all.

Thanks to Steve Wade at Wind & Sun for inviting us along.

Do you think bird guards around solar panels are a

Do you think bird guards around solar panels are a good idea? Will it really protect the panels from the main culprit - pigeons?

We think not. Instead of going underneath the panels, birds sit on them, leaving their droppings. Unless washed away, the droppings reduce power output from the solar PV array.

In general roof guards force debris such as leaves to build up around the top of the solar array, impacting the integrity of the roof and stopping the free flow of water down the roof.

Of course, we install bird guards when requested - we just want customers to be aware of the disadvantages.

The Government’s plan for a solar “rooftop rev

The Government’s plan for a solar “rooftop revolution” is a real game changer. 🌞👏

Labour will introduce solar-related regulations for new builds in 2025. Something that we in the industry think is long overdue.

The plan is to make Britain a clean energy superpower. Bring it on!

A house brimming with solar panels! 👏
This house built by J G Price & Sons, property developers who often install solar PV on their new builds, asked us initially to put in 8 solar panels integrated into the slate roof. 🌞

Since then the home owner came to us for more solar, 16 x 420W REC Alpha panels on the front and 12 x 405 REC TwinPeak 5 panels on the back and 12 x 405 REC TwinPeak 5s on the garage. 🌞🌞 Needless to say, all that power is fed into BYD batteries when it’s not consumed in the house.

The excess is exported to the grid via two inverters earning the owner a nice income. £££

Congratulations to @solaraid for winning the top prize in the International Aid & Development category at the 2024 Charity Awards. 👏👏

Solarkinetics is proud to support SolarAid and their amazing work in Africa to bring universal access to energy for all. To date, SolarAid have distributed 2.3 million lights across sub-Saharan Africa.

The award is for their Light a Village project in Malawi providing solar home energy systems in Kasakula, one of the country’s poorest and remotest communities. Here 4000 systems were installed in Kasakula’s 7,500 households in a pilot programme that's been so successful, it's been rolled out to the rest of the community.

Solar enterprises in Senegal, Sierra Leone and Madagascar have now expressed interest in replicating the scheme. Well done SolarAid for your pioneering work.

While some businesses claim to be sustainable, few

While some businesses claim to be sustainable, few “walk the talk” in the way that Fronius, a European inverter manufacturer, does. The business is ambitious in its plans to reduce the environmental footprint of its products, replacing “take-make-waste” with a circular design.

Where Fronius really stands out is the design approach that allows parts to be easily exchanged on-site if they become faulty, rather than replacing the entire unit.

A new British Standard covering fire safety for ho

A new British Standard covering fire safety for home battery storage installations came into force on 31st March 2024.

This is designed to minimise the risk of batteries becoming a fire hazard.

As an installer, we take fire safety of our client’s installations very seriously. We would always recommend locating storage batteries outside the home and away from rooms used for living.

If you have any concerns over where to install batteries, whether you're planning on having solar PV or not, do get in touch Tel: 01432 861047.

Our client’s journey to a clean, green energy fu

Our client’s journey to a clean, green energy future started with an electric car.

Tony installed solar to provide the power needed to charge the car, heat water, cover the house load and export back to the grid.

But when he added batteries, pay-back changed dramatically. Now Tony estimates the pay-back time has reduced from around 8 to 5 years.

Not only can the batteries store excess power, for use in the evenings, they can also store imported power overnight. On the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff electricity costs 7.5p/kWh over a 6-hour window, while exporting during the day is 15p/kWh.

We’ve crunched the numbers and here’s what we found.

Save up to £1142 to run an electric car by swapping out petrol for an EV.

Electric car charged on the off-peak tariff of 9p/kWh – 2.6p/mile ⚡
Petrol car where petrol is £1.42p/litre – 18p/mile

Over the course of a year, you can save £1142. If the electric car (EV) is charged on the day (flat) rate tariff of 31p/kWh, the cost is 8p/mile, the saving is £677.

This assumes a mileage of 7,400 which is the UK annual and the petrol and electric cars are of a similar size. Here we chose a Vauxhall Corsa petrol car and a Kia Niro electric car. The petrol car with a consumption of 36mph (mix of town and country driving) costs £1332 in petrol.
