We recommend...
Solar photovoltaic panels are a relatively new technology in the UK, yet the equipment is a long term investment.
We've chosen the best worldwide suppliers with highly efficient long term proven products:
Our Solar Photovoltaic components are supplied by Solfex, a UK company supplying the best in solar photovoltaic technology from manufacturers in Europe.
Solar Photovoltaic Panels
CCS offer a complete design, installation, and maintenance service for solar photovoltaic systems. We have dedicated teams of solar photovoltaic system installers based in Andover and serving the whole of Hampshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire, and parts of Surrey. Our solar photovoltaic installation service includes a free survey and system design.We provide an end-to-end service from the first feasibility study, through design and installation to managing the registration and certification of your new solar photovoltaic system. We have invested substantially in this part of the business and have full approval by NICEIC under the MCS accreditation scheme.
Full information on our renewable energy design and install process.
Our solar photovoltaic installations are also covered by the REAL energy scheme. CCS were one of the first solar photovoltaic installers in Hampshire to be accredited. REAL accreditation ensures that we operate to a customer code of conduct, and the procedures we follow ensure that all staff involved abide by guidelines to ensure that the customer service we provide is of the highest possible standard.
Commercial or Residential Solar Photovoltaic Installations
With dedicated solar photovoltaic installation teams supervised by professional project managers, we don't just take on standard residential projects. We've got the resources to design and install bespoke commercial projects for Solar Photovoltaic and Air Source Heat Pump installations so that you get exactly the right package tailored to your requirements.
You may be considering the commercial benefits of reducing your energy costs, or perhaps you are committed to reducing your carbon footprint in your Corporate Social Responsibility policies. Either way, we've got the knowledge to give you the best advice and the skills to ensure you get a properly managed installation.
How does Solar Photovoltaic Work?
To benefit from a solar photovoltaic system you need to have some South, South East or South West facing roof space. Different types of solar photovoltaic panel are made for use in different positions, so you do not have to have a due south aspect to your property. Solar photovoltaic panels can also be mounted on a flat roof, or at ground level. No part of the area where the panels are to be installed should be shaded by trees at any time of day.
Solar photovoltaic panels will generate electricity in any amount of sunlight. Even hazy sunshine can generate a surprising amount of power. The electricity generated by the solar photovoltaic panels is brought into the mains electricity supply via a control box called an inverter, where it is available for use free of charge in the household or business. Any power not used is sold by feeding it into the National Grid through a meter which is read to calculate the Feed In Tariff payment.
The Feed In Tariff will be paid for 25 years from the date of installation of the system. There is no predicted major cost to running a solar photovoltaic system once it has been installed, but we do recommend that you budget for some of the components to need replacing at least once over the 25 year period. Once all these costs have been allowed for you are still getting free electricity and you are still getting paid to feed any surplus back into the Grid.

The terms of the Microgeneration Certification Scheme require us to make you aware of the following advice:
"The performance of solar heating systems is impossible to predict with certainty due to the variability in the amount of solar radiation (sunlight) from location to location and from year to year. This estimate is based upon the Government's standard assessment procedure for energy rating of buildings (SAP) and is given as guidance only. It should not be considered as a guarantee of performance."

It should not be considered as a guarantee of performance."
"The performance of Microgeneration heat pump systems is impossible to predict with certainty due to the variability of the climate and its subsequent effect on both heat supply and demand. This estimate is based upon the best available information but is given as guidance only and should not be considered as a guarantee."
