Why Solar PV?

Yes! The UK & Ireland IS suitable for Solar PV.

Solar panels work on daylight (UV), not direct sunlight and there is ample daylight hours to generate a healthy amount of electricity.

On average a 4kW system could potentially generate £600.00* worth of electricity annually.
*price is an approximation, based on a unit price of 18p/kW (100% self consumption), on a 30 degree, south facing roof.*

Future proof your home to rising electricity costs

Lower your carbon footprint

Power your home with green energy

Prices are now more feasible, and we also offer a finance option if preferred. No moving parts, so maintenance and upkeep are minimum.

Afraid you will not get the benefit as you are out all day?

We can help you maximise the potential by;

  • helping to re-educate how you go about your daily tasks
  • we can also install additional items such as
    • an Eddi, to heat your hot water via your immersion heater 
    • or a battery, to store any generated energy not used in the house rather than selling back to the grid.

Therefore, even if you are not home, the system is still working for you!

Heat your water with solar

Priority is always given to the electrical items in the home, if they are not being used, or are less than what the system is producing, then the extra energy (which would normally go back to the grid) would be diverted to the Eddi appliance.

It is not designed to heat your hot water as the immersion does, it is designed to work alongside it. It will give a gradual heat to the water in your tank (depending on the surplus energy your Solar Panels are producing) and so may need to be boosted by the immersion heater, which you can turn on as you would normally, only with the Eddi installed, you can do it via its interface instead.
Think of a pot of water on a low heat, it will be longer to heat than a kettle, but it will gradually get up to temperature.

With an Eddi installed, you are maximizing the usage of all the electricity produced by the PV system, instead of feeding it back to the grid.

Optional information
Supplied and installed £650 + VAT to include the app (hub), or £600 + VAT without the app.

Battery Storage

Can be fitted alongside the installation of PV or retrofitted at a later stage. Most popular is 4.8kWh for a residential property. While it may increase your overall payback on initial outlay, it does ensure you maximize the potential savings on system generation.

Very quick, thorough and efficient service from start to finish from startsolar. I was impressed with their excellent level of communication and market beating offers. In contrast to competitors they showed superior expertise in optimal panel placement, product selection and overall system capacity. They have achieved for us a solar system which other comptitors said wasn't possible. Special mention due to their electrician Tristan who worked tirelessly to overcome teething issues and took my preferences into account at each turn during the installation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Startsolar

Suzie was fantastic, professional and experienced, knowing exactly what would meet our requirements, without overspending on inefficient, over-sizing of design. Installers were efficient, clean and very skilled. Givenergy equipment is top-notch woth great warranty. I have used this company for two installations and I would personally recommend them for all size of projects, both commercial and residential. It's great to see there are trustworthy and professional businesses operating today and I hope they continue to deliver the excellent standard of service. Well done and thank you.

We had a great experience with Start Solar.We got a survey done, with suggestions as to the layout of the panels and position of inverter, battery and car-charger. Everything was clear and well presented. The prices were very competitive. I went for 5kW of panels and a 5kWh battery. The installation was fast, efficient and neat. They sent a team of two men - one is a roofer who fits the panels, and the other is an electrician. I had recently had our house re-slated, so I am a bit precious about my roof, but I needn't have worried - the guys clearly know what they are doing. Minor snags were rectified quickly and the response to any emails or phone calls was quick and useful. As for the system itself, the performance appears to the spot on. I was particularly attracted to the fact that the inverter, battery and car-charger are all the same brand (Givenergy) - so they work well together and are all in the one app. There is also a very good web app. The car charger seems good too - once set up correctly, you can plug-in for excess solar power to top up your car, leave it plugged in to charge overnight on off-peak rates, or tap the key-fob to charge immediately at max power.Overall, I am very pleased with our installation and would not hesitate to recommend Start Solar.

Start Solar have been very professional to deal with, taking time to answer all our questions. The installation was organised very quickly and was carried out with minimum disruption. It's been great to see the electricity the panels are generating already, even in winter. I would highly recommend Start Solar.

We decided to contact Start Solar for our installation as they had installed other solar panels in the local area. Everything went very well from the initial call and the cost was not as much as we had anticipated. The whole process was completed quickly and we are very happy with the installation and its energy production, even at this time of year.

Hi allI can recommend Start Solar. It’s a great company to use for your Solar advice and installation.If you have any doubts whether solar panels save you money, take a look at pictures below. Look at our electric bill for July to October last year, and for the same period this year. Big difference! I could hardly believe it myself, but it’s true.

Start Solar made our installation very straightforward and there was only a short time between consultation and installation. Would recommend them to others as they were also very competitively priced.
