Solar PV panel systems, frames, rails and support structures are designed to be cost effective with no compromise in system strength, system lifetime or warranty. Trade and retail customers welcome. Solar energy systems are compatible with traditional as well as modern building materials and styles. Using solar PV panels and modules in much the same way as you might use safety glass, unique and innovative solar power systems can be designed, built and integrated into buildings and landscapes. In the interim some energy suppliers are offering similar deals, paying customers set tariffs for electricity they export to the grid. Each deal is individual and some cases participation would require metering. Deals may also be time limited or have other conditions which you should consider carefully in order to make the best choice for you.

keyboard_arrow_rightCut your carbon footprint. Solar electricity is green renewable energy and doesn't release any harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants. A typical home solar PV system could save around 1.3 to 1.6 tonnes of carbon per year (depending where you are within the UK).
PV cells are made from layers of semi-conducting material, usually silicon. When light shines on the cell it creates an electric field across the layers. The stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is produced. Groups of cells are mounted together in panels or modules that can either be mounted on your roof or on the ground. The power of a PV cell is measured in kilowatts peak (kWp). That's the rate at which it generates energy at peak performance in full direct sunlight during the summer. PV cells come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most PV systems are made up of panels that fit on top of an existing roof, but you can also fit solar tiles.
A complete range of solar roof fixings, rails and clamps for fitting solar panels over all types of roof.
Both framed and unframed solar panels of all sizes can be easily and cost effectively mounted using the Alpha On-Roof solar PV panel mounting system. Installations are quick and accurate, components are solid and reliable.
The MetalFix solar panel mounting system is perfect for mounting framed solar PV panels in either portrait or landscape onto commercial trapezoidal metal roof spaces, the kind of profiled sheet metal roofs that are typically found on warehouses, commercial buildings and barns.
