Solar PV

Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into power through silicon cells. These panels are often used alongside systems like commercial solar lighting to reduce grid dependency and energy costs. The electricity produced is direct current (DC), which then passes through an inverter to become alternating current (AC), the type your building uses. 

Most panels today use silicon cells grouped into modules you see on rooftops or ground mounts. These modules are reliable and efficient. They’ve become more affordable over time thanks to improvements in materials and production. 

Newer modules include: 

  • Half-cut cells that work better in shade 
  • Multi-busbar designs that reduce energy loss 
  • Optimisers that balance performance across the array 
  • Backplate technology to help with heat and durability 


These features improve performance on cloudy days and in tight spaces, useful if you’re powering things like
solar powered flood lights, industrial solar lighting, or solar bollards. 

How It Works

Panels
The panels, installed on your roof or land, collect daylight and produce DC electricity, even in overcast conditions. 

Inverter
The inverter converts that into AC power, which your building can use. It sits near your distribution board and varies in size depending on system demand, from 2kW to 83kW. 

Meter
The power runs through a meter and into your site’s distribution board. From there, it runs your operations, including any lighting infrastructure such as solar powered street lights UK or vandal proof bollard lights. 

If your site includes car parks, footpaths, or cycle routes, you can power them with LED solar bollard lights, Dark Sky Approved lighting, or bat friendly bollard lighting, without needing to trench or run new cabling. 

 

Why Businesses and Public Sector Organisations Work With Us

Direct, No-Nonsense Advice
Chartered Surveyor Richard Jones handles your project from the first call to the final handover. No sales scripts, just practical advice.
 

Recognised and Trusted
We won Installer of the Year at the Lincolnshire Energy Awards in 2014 and 2015.
 

Track Record Across the UK
We’ve installed systems for schools, McDonald’s, petrol stations, hospitals, farms, universities, council offices, and small businesses. These often feature external systems like solar engines, and lighting options such as solar bollard lights or commercial solar powered bollards.

 

Battery Storage Expertise
We install Tesla, LG Chem, and SolaX battery systems. If your site includes remote solar street lights, we can assess whether battery storage is the right fit to keep them running overnight.
 

Support With Export Tariffs
We’re MCS Accredited, so you qualify for the Smart Export Guarantee. We’ll guide you through available tariffs and how much you can earn by feeding excess power into the grid.
 

High-Quality Components
We only install efficient panels and proven inverters. All work is carried out by accredited professionals who know the technical and regulatory requirements.

If you’re already using solar lighting solutions, you’re halfway there. Generating your own power with rooftop panels helps you stay in control, cut long-term costs, and reduce emissions. No exaggerated claims, just a practical solution with a measurable return.
