Power your home with PV solar panels and storage

Power My Home is a culmination of eighteen years of experience working alongside the UK's innovative solar industry. Today, I help homeowners access premium products without the premium price tags.

PV (photovoltaic) solar panels insulate from ever-increasing energy costs and today's geopolitical woes! Solar technologies are in high demand nowadays, but savings are still discoverable.

Empowering homeowners since 2004.

Nowadays, domestic PV solar in the UK typically generate, store, and offset up to 4,200 kWh annually.

For new adopters, a PV system will help relegate traditional power to a Plan B option, especially with storage backup for evening use. For existing PV owners, exporting surplus may not be the best use of self-generated power.

The export tariff scheme was a breakthrough for solar adopters in 2016. This incentive scheme allowed self-generators to sell and offset power before battery storage became a thing. PV solar panels generate electricity with a 25-year-plus lifespan, meaning peace of mind arrives from adopting a new era of self-generation.

Welcome to your solar-powered century

How I can help?

"I first investigated the potential of solar panels many years ago, but the economics was not attractive then. With the export tariff and decline of bank interest rates, then a solar investment became viable.

After installing a solar PV solar system on a south-facing roof, it's been generating electricity without a hitch. The installation went smoothly and complete in less than a day. I've been tracking the system's performance daily and lighting up our evening with our battery storage.

I invited the Residents Association and public viewings to encourage others to adopt. We're not the first solar PV installation in the area, but the only one with battery storage. I'm happy to discuss technology, life, and the universe with anyone who will listen.

We export electricity daily, so we offset the cost of importing when the sun doesn't shine.

From Stuart's recommendations, I've added some nifty gadgets to reduce my import rate further, and that's how I gained energy independence-ish."

Mr. Richards, Hampshire.

"This is a quick, short note to sum-up how we feel the installation went. You have all been professional, understanding, prompt, responsive, and diligent. We will willingly and happily recommend your company to friends and contacts in the future. It makes the whole project worthwhile."
Mr. Howard, Norfolk.

"Please accept our thanks for your valued assistance in achieving a happy outcome. You must feel free to use this message with any future prospective customers who may have doubts about the value of having solar panels installed."
Mr. Hurst, Redditch.

"May I take this opportunity to say how pleased we are with the photovoltaic solar panels that have now been in operation for two weeks? I know I have to average it out with the winter months, but in the last sunny four days and one cloudy day, five in total, which bodes well!"
Mr. Smethhurst, Chippenham.

"We're now self-sufficient in electricity, which was our target. We have been monitoring our meter and our record is 16.5 units in one day. Very promising."
Mrs. Taylor, Nuneaton.

"The solar tubes you recommended are very efficient as we are only having to top up our system with the gas heater for about an hour a day, even though the weather has been very wet to date."
Mr. Greenough, Denbigh.

"Keeping my money in the bank was giving me low returns, so I invested a small chunk of it, and now I get a great return and save money on bills too."
Mr. S Brown, Wallington.

Best of all is the joy of seeing the wheel on our mains electricity meter going backward! It makes the whole scheme worthwhile. It doesn't take a genius to work this out. I'm helping save the planet and getting a decent return on my investment."
Mr. Granger, Felixstowe.

"Polite and prompt responses to queries, Fitted by courteous and experienced tradesmen. Very pleased with the performance of the product."
Mr. Barney, Yorkshire.

"The solar tubes are excellent and produce today's bath water. The two workmen were superb. They are very friendly, very polite, and very efficient. Thank you."
Mrs. Skilbeck, Wirral.

"One advantage of installing the system is that it has made us much more conscious of electricity usage and hence has reduced our overall consumption significantly. Looking at the price difference between cost and selling. I am expecting very low bills for this year."
Mr. Benson, Chipping Norton.

"The installation of my solar panels was a good experience. The technicians were considerate and worked efficiently, leaving no mess. Do you know the benefits are even better than I thought, and now my electric company pays me, excellent!"
Mrs. Mathers, Derby.

"My evacuated tube system has worked well with little maintenance, and the gas bill went down. The UK's energy issues were climbing the agenda, and these were my deciding factors to put capital to use and install my photovoltaic system."
Mr. Davies, Hexham.

"Thank you for your expertise and your quick response. I have to say that your installers are first-class workmen and I cannot fault their work in any way."

Mr. Driver, Yorkshire.

"I've been very impressed by my system since its installation six months ago. We have been watching temperatures from our evacuated tubes, and they have worked brilliantly even in some weather conditions you wouldn't expect anything."
Mr. Davidson, Great Yarmouth.

"The installation team was excellent and I'm pleased with their professionalism. It's a bit too soon to see how my system performs, but the first three days gave us plenty of hot water even when one of the three days was cloudy."
Mr. Yeadon, Uxbridge.

"We had evacuated tubes installed and think they are wonderful. They have provided hot water for most of the year. I love the look of them on my roof, and passers-by always comment on them when I am doing the garden. They certainly had the whole village talking about them for a while."
Mr. Shore, Lancaster.

"Firstly, the team of fitters was superb, quick, efficient, and polite, and tidied up after they finished. After turning off our standard water heating system after the installation, and still had plenty of hot water. It works very well."
Mrs. Havers, Maidstone.

"My wife and I would like to express our satisfaction with our solar panels and say how delighted we are with our solar PV system. At every stage of the process, your staff and reps have been professional, knowledgeable, proactive, and helpful."
Mr. Williams, Bristol.

"We've had PV panels for two years and have found excellent savings on our energy bills. Our grandchildren brag that granny has solar panels, and they're a great conversation starter when doing my gardening."
Mrs. Dougthwaite, Peterborough.

"Just a note to say how impressed we were with the enthusiasm of your installers. The system appears to perform better than I expected and great for January."
Mr. Huxtable, Hatfield.

"I must say that I was highly impressed by the comments made by your customers, there was a small delay in delivery, but the firm contacted me to advise and offered an alternative. The solar heating kit was good quality, and the installer was nice and clean."
Mr. Smith, Swansea.

"I am writing to commend the team that carried out the installation and your staff who handled the paperwork. We have had the solar panels for nearly two months now and found them to be as described at the time. The photovoltaics are working superbly, and we are producing every day. It's nice to think we are adding to the National Grid instead of taking."
John, Cirencester.

"I was surprised by how easy the installation process was. It was smooth and hassle-free. My thanks, a highly professional job on both occasions."
Mr. Jones, Northwich.

"I would like to tell you how satisfied I am with the photovoltaic solar panels you installed. I was informed, and the installers were all very pleasant. Once again, I want to thank you for helping to install the system."
Mrs. Holmes, Swindon.

"The installation was complete with no mess or fuss. The installers were polite and very careful. Since the installation, the panels have generated far more than we've used. I'm happy and would not hesitate to recommend Stuart."
Mrs. Banks, Northwich.

"Already we were amazed at the amount of free energy our solar system produced and are looking forward to our first tariff cheque from our energy supplier. This system is now an integral part of the fabric of our home, with the bonus of solar energy. You can truly beat the system."
Mr. Bowles, Milton Keynes.

"The bottom line is that we're very content that we decided to install our photovoltaic system. We aim to turn our home into a zero-energy cost project. Please accept our thanks for your valued assistance in achieving a happy outcome. You must feel free to use this message with any future prospective customers who may have doubts about the value of having solar panels installed."
Mrs. Philips, Bury St Edmunds.

"I was surprised by how easy the installation process was. It was smooth, easy, and hassle-free. My thanks, a highly professional job on both occasions."

Mr. Jones, Northwich.

"I would say the savings on water heating with solar tubes is around 60%. Dead simple technology too. Our unit is about 18 years old now and still going strong. It paid for itself in about five years."
Mr. Ellis, Plymouth.

"I find myself evangelical in my enthusiasm for solar panels, and will extol its virtues at the drop of a hat and have already recommended the technology to family and friends."
Mrs. Beverage, Stoke-on-Trent.

"Our solar heating system heated all the hot water we could ever need in summer - plenty to fill our big double corner bath - and made a huge difference in our electric water heating bill even in winter months, it might only heat the water to 'tepid' in the wintertime, but the energy required to heat it from tepid to scalding rather than almost freezing to scalding is much much less."
Mr. Atkinson, Barnstaple.

"As a teacher, it amused me to receive a lesson about using the control panel for the central heating and hot water. We are now looking forward to a summer of no fuel bills. Or winters should also be fuel efficient now that we have solar panels and a wood burner."
Mr. Howse, Poole.

"Our solar panel system is on course to earn me the predicted revenue. Putting the purchase price into a saving account would produce little to nothing. The numbers speak for themselves. I'm proud to be the first on our street to install and reduce my bills. Happy to recommend."
Mr. Driver, Yorkshire.

"I am writing to commend you. We had the solar panels for nearly two months, and the photovoltaics are working superbly and show we are on course to your predictions."
John Daniels, Cirencester.

"We have had our solar panels for almost two weeks now with power savings substantial already. The planning and installation were first class, and we would have no hesitation recommending."
JackandPippa, Birmingham.

"We chose photovoltaic solar panels beacuse we already have free hot water from an existing solar heating system. This PV system is truly making our home into a green home - and we feel proud that we're now on the way to becoming 80% energy independent-ish."
Mrs. Gregson, Weston-super-mare.
