Solar
Panels on your holiday home generate through the day, so less of what you use has to come off the grid.
Your heaviest months and the brightest months are the same months. In July and August the panels are working hardest at exactly the point the home is full, the fridge is running and the hot water is being used. When nobody is there, they quietly offset the standing load that keeps the place ticking over, including a heat pump holding it above freezing through winter.
Every unit the panels make is a unit you are not paying for. What you do not use is exported rather than wasted.
A heat pump runs on electricity, so generating some of that yourself is the closest thing there is to free heat. The two are designed together, on the same survey, rather than bolted on to each other later.
Panels sit on the roof and the inverter goes somewhere out of the way. No radiator work, no lifted floors, nothing lost from inside the home.
Generation does not need anyone in the building. The system runs itself and you can see what it is doing from your phone.

We look at the roof, its pitch and aspect, and what the home actually uses. If it is not worth doing on your roof, we will say so.

Most parks need to agree to anything fixed to a home. We have that conversation with the park rather than leaving it to you.

Installed by our accredited engineering partner, working outside, with the home left as we found it.

We commission it, show you the app, and stay on the end of the phone afterwards.
Most holiday homes and lodges take a smaller array than a house does, and that is fine. The survey works out what fits and what it would produce, rather than starting from a fixed number of panels.
That is the park’s decision and it is the first thing we check. Where we already work with a park it is usually straightforward. Where we do not, we approach them on your behalf.
Output drops a long way in December and January. Solar is not a winter heating answer on its own, which is why it is normally specified alongside a heat pump rather than instead of one.
Not necessarily. A battery earns its place the more time you spend in the home. We will tell you honestly whether yours would, rather than selling you one by default.
The system stays with the home. Talk to us before you sell and we will make sure the paperwork and any warranties pass on cleanly.
Book a survey and we will tell you what would fit, roughly what it would generate and what it would cost. It commits you to nothing.
Generation and savings vary considerably with roof size, pitch, aspect, shading and how the home is used. Any figures we give are estimates for your property, not guarantees, and output falls substantially in the winter months. Fitting anything to a holiday home normally requires the park owner’s agreement. Funding and grant eligibility is checked for each property individually and is not available on every property type. MCS compliance applies where applicable.
