Getting it right

There are many reasons to choose The Green Home Company to install your solar PV - here are the main reasons we believe we're top of our class:

 

1. The right training
Our sales consultants are thoroughly trained to be able to measure your available roof space and assess it for shading so that they can arrive at a realistic estimate of how many panels will fit on your roof and how much energy they will be able to generate in any given year. They will work through their calculations with you so that you can see exactly how they came up with their figures

2. The right technology
A recent report by Which? Magazine (July 2011) pointed out that most solar companies failed to take into account the potential effects of shading when assessing the output of a solar PV system. To be certain of its estimates, The Green Home Company carries out a full technical survey before every installation. Because of our size we are able to deploy the latest technological wizardry in the form of a device called a ‘SunEye’ which gives an accurate measure of the extent of any shading by taking a panoramic picture of the sky from the roof and tracking the path of the sun across the picture. We can then download this data to the latest Solar PV design software to model the performance of the system for a whole year. All very clever and just one of the ways we strive to get it right every time.

3. The right skills
Our in-house technical team will design and specify a solar PV system that has been optimised specifically for your property, taking into account local weather conditions, the structure and condition of your roof and any other aspects that need special attention.

4. The right experience
Our installation teams are all directly employed by us. Each team contains a fully qualified, specialist electrician as well as panel installers. They are fully and independently trained and audited in health and safety as well as every aspect of a solar installation.
