The Benefits of Solar Energy for Devon Homes & Businesses

Reduce Energy Bills by Up to 60%

Generate your own clean electricity and significantly reduce what you pay to energy suppliers. With rising energy costs, solar panels offer long-term savings and protection against future price increases. Most Devon homeowners achieve payback in 6-8 years and also get decades of free electricity thereafter.

Lower Your Carbon Footprint

Solar PV systems produce zero-emission renewable energy which ultimately helps you reduce your environmental impact and contribute to a cleaner, greener future. For instance, if you install a typical 4kW system, you can save approximately 1.5 tonnes of CO2 annually by using this green energy.

Increase Property Value

Homes and businesses with solar installations are increasingly attractive to buyers and tenants, offering lower running costs and sustainable credentials. Your property’s value can increase by up to 4-5% with solar.

Energy Independence

Reduce reliance on the National Grid. When combined with battery storage, solar panels allow you to store excess energy and use it when you need it most. This will help you achieve up to 60% energy independence.

Government Support & Incentives

Benefit from schemes such as the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which pays you for surplus energy exported back to the grid. Current rates range from 3-15p per kWh exported.

Low Maintenance & Long Lifespan

Solar panels require minimal maintenance and are designed to last 25+ years so they can deliver decades of clean, cost-effective energy with virtually no moving parts to fail.

Our Solar PV Design & Installation Process

Initial Consultation & Site Assessment

We start with a free, no-obligation consultation to understand your energy needs, property details and project goals. Our team conducts a thorough site assessment to evaluate roof condition, orientation, shading and structural suitability. We also conduct an existing electrical infrastructure audit (consumer unit, earthing, cabling) and an energy consumption profiling by using 12 months of your energy bill data.
Step 1

Custom System Design & Performance Modelling

Using industry-leading design software, we create a custom solar PV system tailored to your property. Our designs comply with MCS standards and include optimal panel layout and technology selection, correctly sized inverter selection, shading analysis and performance modelling, energy generation estimates and savings projections and structural load calculations.
Step 2

DNO Application & Grid Compliance

We manage all necessary DNO (Distribution Network Operator) applications, including G98 and G99 submissions to Western Power Distribution to make sure that your solar system complies with network requirements and export limitations. This is where our experience makes the critical difference. Our dedicated compliance team helps with correct technical documentation, G100 compliance for larger systems and smooth communication with WPD to prevent delays.
Step 3

Professional Installation by NAPIT-Registered Electricians

Our own NAPIT-registered electricians and solar specialists - not subcontractors - carry out the installation safely, efficiently and to the highest standards. We handle roof-mounted solar panel installation, inverter and electrical integration, battery storage integration (if applicable) and finally full system testing and commissioning.
Step 4

Certification & Handover

Upon completion, you receive full certification and documentation that includes MCS certification (required for SEG payments), Electrical Installation Certificate, system performance data and user guidance, warranty information and registration and DNO approval confirmation.
Step 5

Ongoing Support & Performance Monitoring

Our relationship doesn't end at installation. We provide ongoing support and advice to make sure that your solar system performs optimally for decades. From remote monitoring and guidance to maintenance recommendations, we’re here to help your systems keep running long after installation with priority support.

Your Solar PV Questions Answered by Devon’s Experienced Team

How much do solar panels cost in Devon and Cornwall?

Solar panel costs can vary and depend on system size, equipment and installation complexity. In addition to that, MCS certification, all DNO application fees, scaffolding and RECC-backed warranties are also added to the total cost. Contact us and we will provide a free, no-obligation estimate to suit your individual needs and requirements.

How much can I save with solar panels?

Savings depend on your energy usage, system size and electricity tariff. Energy savings vary along with payback periods. During the design process, we will calculate your estimated savings and payback period in your individually customised proposal.

How many solar panels do I need for my home in Devon?

Generally, a typical 3-4 bedroom family home in Devon would choose a system around 4kW to 6kW, which translates to 10-14 panels. However, the exact number varies according to your available roof space, energy usage and whether you want full or partial energy independence. Our detailed assessment will provide you with precise recommendations.

How long does solar PV system installation take?

All projects vary depending on system size and complexity. We’ll provide a complete timeline of the installation process in our assessment.

Can I add battery storage later?

Yes, battery storage can be retrofitted to existing solar systems just so long as the inverter is a hybrid type inverter. We design systems with future expansion in mind.
