Solar and Photovoltiacs are becoming more and more popular at the moment particularly with the soaring cost of fuel. We are now able to offer the fitting of roof mounted solar and photovoltaic panels.
When mounted on an existing roof the integrity of the existing roof must be checked to ensure the structure can take the weight of the larger type panels.
If considering the installation of renewable energy sources you may be eligible for a grant to help with the costs. More information is available from the EnergySaving Trust website, a link for which can be found below.
