These are some of the brands we often use. We're also happy to take a look at any other brands you'd like us to use.
Fox ESS inverters and batteries give a great performance at the best price. They offer both wall mounted batteries, and ground mounted stackable batteries. Ground mounted batteries are stackable and give a greater flexibility to expand your storage in the future.
Astronergy all black, bifacial panels are modern and reliable. We tend to use them as our normal installation panels as they are reliable, robust, and offer a great output for the price and size.
Sunsynk manufacture inverters and battery systems. They are among the best value and most flexible solutions for domestic installations. The Hybrid inverters we install come in 3.6kW, 5kW, and 8kW and have a host of useful features to allow customisation of the setup for many differing requirements. For example, they have a generator input for off-grid use, an auxiliary output to power other devices from your solar panels when the batteries are full, as well as a full UPS mode to power selected circuits when there is a complete grid failure. Another neat feature is the ability to be connected in parallel to increase the output.
GivEnergy provide a sleek modern system and are one of the largest suppliers to domestic installations in the UK. They manufacture inverters and batteries, and their products are visually matched and designed to install together to produce a neat, good looking and tidy system. They are an ideal choice if your equipment is installed somewhere visible. The design in minimalist and all controlled through an app which gives you a good insight to how your system is performing at all times. The systems are also suitable for mounting outside, on a garage wall for example if there is no space in your house.
Tesla powerwalls are a powerful premium solution for battery storage. Their sleek design looks great and they can be installed indoors or outdoors.
Longi is one of the world’s largest solar panel manufacturers. They offer some of the best efficiency panels at a great price.
Tigo optimisers are perfect for getting the most out of your systems if some of the panels are in the shade. This is important because solar panels work in strings (series), and if any single panel is shaded it can reduce the output of the whole array. By adding optimisers you can solve this as they will match the output of shaded panels to the main array to keep the power output as high as possible. Tigo optimisers allow you to monitor each individual panel, and optimise each one for maximum performance. They also allow a rapid shutdown in case of faults to protect the array.
Enphase micro inverters are a great choice if installing solar without batteries or where internal space is limited. Their microinverter products connect straight to the solar panels and turn the output into mains electricity for direct connection to your house supply.
SolarEdge offer fully integrated optimised solution, where the whole installation from the panels to the grid is managed by a central control system. It’s a high end product range with many advanced features for the ultimate integrated system.
