Renewable Energy

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels convert light from the sun into electricity. The brighter the light, the more electricity. But they work even on cloudy days. Especially the high quality Q CELLS and Sunport solar panels we’ve handpicked. Q CELLS panels come with a 12-year product warranty and 25-year performance warranty, while Sunport panels have a 30-year performance warranty.
Can I store surplus energy and sell it back to the grid?
Yes! GivEnergy’s storage solutions are the best on the market. Use them to store energy for when you need it, and sell any excess back to the grid – maximizing your renewable energy investment as quickly as possible.
How much space will my battery take up?
Not much at all! You’ll be delighted to hear that the GivEnergy batteries we use aren’t much larger than a car battery. The GivEnergy 3.2kWh battery is just 380mm x 340mm x191mm, while the 6.3kWh version is 690mm x 390mm x 182mm.
Can I use energy to heat water for my home or pool?
Yes! Copper Industries’ hot water cylinders and calorifiers work with your renewable installation to heat water in your home efficiently.
Renewable technology is constantly improving – How do I know that my system is the most up to date?
Our expert team is committed to remaining at the forefront of developments. All our current products are best in class. But if things change in the future, we’ll update our product selection to reflect that.

How do wind turbines work?

Wind turbines harness the power of the wind to generate electricity. Most work best in strong winds. But we’ve handpicked Hi-Energy’s vertical axis turbines which work in milder winds, making them perfect for French homes.
How efficient is the storage solution?
The inverter – which directs power from your solar panels into your home – operates at an impressive 99.5% efficiency. And all that from a product that measures just 480mm x 440mm x 260mm. For further information about our storage solution systems – please see our download.
Should I put solar panels on my roof or the ground?
The answer depends on a number of variables, including the angle of your roof, the sun’s path across your home throughout the year and the trees on your property. But don’t worry, we’ve invested in trailblazing software – including 3D modelling – to show you exactly how each option will look and how much electricity it will generate.
How do I know which option is best for my home?
Our team of renewable energy specialists will talk you through all the options and use our industry-leading software to show you how much energy each will generate. Book your free, no-obligations survey to find out more.
