Renewable Energy

Our expanding Renewable energy division are now MCS qualified, and installing Solar PV, Heat pump Boiler and Solar thermal systems to both domestic and commercial clients offering them, in some cases free annual heating and hot water bills.

Having worked with heat pump renewable energy and Mitsubishi for over 16 years, we are perfectly placed to not only supply and install these systems, but warranty and maintain them without fear of a lack of knowledge when it comes to issues that inexperienced companies are having not knowing the equipment and how best to design / install it.

Ensuring we are MCS accredited means you will be eligible to claim the governments feed in tariffs, and that we, as a company have been trained and vetted to the highest standards

An Electric PV (Photovoltaic) Systems generate electricity, lowering the amount that you need to purchase from your utility supplier, reducing both your household CO2 emissions as well as your energy costs. Furthermore, under the Feed-in Tariff for Low Carbon Electricity, eligible PV installations can earn an elevated tariff for every unit of electricity generated for a period of 25 years.

Mitsubishi Electric’s involvement with Photovoltaic’s (PV) dates back to the 1970′s when it was providing inverter technology for satellites.
Delivery of large-scale central PV inverters got underway in the 1980′s and module production began at the Iida factory in the 1990′s.

PV production volume was 220MW in 2008 and will reach 600MW in 2012.

How does a PV System work?

  • PV modules are mounted on an unshaded south facing (or near south facing) roof and use light from the sun to generate electricity.
  • The inverter ensures that its output voltage is slightly higher than that coming in from the grid, which means your appliances will use the electricity from your PV system before they start drawing from the grid, thus reducing your energy consumption. If your PV system is generating more than is required by your appliances at any given moment, the surplus energy you generate will be exported onto the grid.
