BETTER DESIGNS – HIGHER YIELDS – GREATER RETURNS

After a hiatus period when many solar PV companies have ceased trading, our continued success comes from checking how our installations are working, particularly in commercial sites and our domestic ones. Discussing issues with manufacturers, in many cases via direct links to them, then cross –checking , not accepting the ‘easy answer’. So for you, our customer, that means that by combining our in-depth knowledge and attention to detail you get higher yields from more electricity generation and so higher financial gains over the lifetime of the system. Our headline boast is not without cause.

If the product is available in the UK or Europe we can source it for you, possibly even offer an alternative that may be more cost effective or productive. You can prove this to yourself by asking us to provide you with a no obligation detailed proposal – but you can also accept a third party opinion – “attention to detail, combined with highly competitive pricing and understanding of the client’s energy requirement putting 2020SolarPV in a strong position” – The Carbon Trust, 2017.

SIMPLE PRICING - PLAIN TALKING, PLAIN ENGLISH

At 2020SolarPV we are very conscious that there are so many products available it can be very confusing to select “the best” product for your needs and different salesmen seem to have opposing views. So we have simplified that at 2020SolarPV by providing clear simple proposals, with details when you want them – prices are all installed and working – NO HIDDEN extras – always subject to an on site survey.
THE RIGHT DESIGN

The right design is crucial and so is the correct panel and inverter which can make a huge difference in how much power you will generate and so how much SEG income you will earn. Often spending a little more on getting things right can yield great rewards with the overall output. Our many years of experience solely supplying Solar PV means we can give you the best advice, but remember a high price is not always a guide to high quality, similarly it is unwise to spend too little as John Ruskin says :

John Ruskin

“It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money – that’s all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot – it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”

That’s why at 2020SolarPV we offer high quality Products from start to finish and pride ourselves on the time and care we take to analyse your proposed property or location for PV to create the most efficient design so you get the best from your Solar PV system and so the best return on your investment. The return from a 2020SolarPV system is always “Better than an ISA” providing a reliable Tax Free income.

Our exclusive “Click your Roof\” facility is evidence of our innovation and forward thinking.

Our Free On-Site surveys cover all the physical and aesthetic aspects, your preferences, your existing electrics,

We don’t want any mistakes so we are very thorough. We want you to be a 100% satisfied 2020 SolarPV customer.
SOLAR PV PANELS

There are hundreds of Solar PV panel brands, they are made in nearly every industrialised country around the world, but principally in China, where there are over 400 PhotoVoltaic factories. Most European countries have some PV manufacturing, even Norway – not where you might expect!

Interesting to note that what you may think or have been told that “these” are the ‘Best Panels’ – and they may not be on ‘A’ list.

At 2020SolarPV we have supplied many different panels, most are generally know many others not so, but remember that IF something goes wrong in the future will a factory somewhere far away be able to help? A manufacturer’s presence in the UK is as important as anything else.
DIFFERENT PANEL TYPES & BENEFITS

With so many manufacturers how do you chose the best, especially when so many use the same Cells so we can guide you through the marketing Hype to find what suits your situation best.

There are many different Types of cells to consider the most know are Mono or Poly Crystalinne – but there are many others, and some will not be available in the UK, let alone offer post sales service. 2020SolarPV only installs Mono panels, they are black and some sexes are more partial to black panels.

Stronger than your roof!
Solar Panel are not fragile and are actually stronger than the tiles beneath them. The Manufacturing process basically puts the PV cells on a backing sheet with a 7mm glass front which is then heat sealed making a substantial laminate, similar to what is in your car windscreen, so very strong.
THE INVERTER HEART
Solar Panels create Direct Current (DC) but all properties in the UK use Alternating Current (AC), so the inverter changes the power type from DC to AC. But there is more. The solar panels will produce different amounts of power at any given point, so, like a manager of a team, the inverter also ‘manages’ them to produce an consistent and even supply into your grid. There are many manufacturers, types and sizes so at 2020 we will advise on the best inverter for your situation always using the manufacturers design tools.
- THE BEST INVERTER – POWER OPTIMISERS
  
  Most PV systems you will see use what are called ‘String Inverters’ which are the cheapest way of installing a PV system. Think of it like a group learning something; in a group (string) you learn at the rate of the slowest.
  Or have an individual instructor (a power optimiser) for each member (panel) so everyone performs at their maximum.
  
  Please talk to us to discuss the detail of these options
- 2020 ONLY INSTALLS SOLAREDGE _ THE WORLD’s BEST
  
  Our customers are now buying the SolarEdge solution that provides a Power Optimiser, behind panels, so obtaining the maximum output all the time. This is particularly effective where shade is involved.
  SolarEdge provides other benefits too:
  
             Innovative, world leading design
             Long warranty – power optimisers are 25 years, Inverters are 12 years but can be upgraded to 25years at a sensible price!
             Comprehensive monitoring
             Power generation is started earlier and finishes later (because there is no ‘start up’ power required
  Safe in DAYLIGHT for Fire Officers in the event of a fire, or any on roof maintenance
  Themal sensors built into the Power Optimisers, to cut power rather than overheat
  Integration with some other electrical devices
MOUNTING SYSTEM

The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) defines and manages Solar PV UK regulations. All PV products we install comply with the relevant regulations. The Mounting systems must also comply to UK BRE standards primarily because the wind stresses in the UK are significantly different to those elsewhere in Europe for example.

There are 4 types of mounting:

1. On roof, – over the existing roof surface.

2. In roof, – the PV Panels replace sections of the existing roof so forming part of the roof.

3. Flat roof

4. Ground mounted

Our 2020SolarPV Home page video shows examples of all these.

CLEAR UNAMBIGUOUS PRICE PROPOSAL

After the on site survey we will design & calculate the very best PV proposal in terms of how many panels, where they will go, the best inverter, all according to your budget.

We will then send you a simply laid out Financial Proposal showing how much power you can expect, following the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) strict processes and guidelines and then the financial benefits extrapolated for 25 years.

There are no bits of hidden extras, our pricing is clear and unambiguous.
We will also give you a 3D visual interpretation of how the panels will look in position.
As a WHICH Trusted Trader we (including this website) are monitored to ensure the information we send you is clear and readable, honest & truthful
PLANNING PERMISSION

No planning permission is required for roof-mounted installations with the exception of listed buildings and conservation, or areas of outstanding beauty. Rarely, there is a restraint on a property, usually when a major conversion has been done, some barn conversions for example.

The system designs we propose WILL comply with domestic or commercial planning laws, some customers ask us to ‘fill up the area’, but we will not break any planning rules.

Please CLICK YOUR ROOF to allow us to give you our assessment of the possibilities for Solar PV for your property. We will be delighted to talk to you about what we can do for you and to carry out a free, no-obligation, on-site survey.
INSURANCE

We provide free insurance for domestic installations to cover repayment of your deposit if we go out of business before the installation is completed.
That policy is then extended to provide the build and construction warranty as well.

You can be confident that 2020 SolarPV will provide the best system for your needs, won’t let you down and will do what we say we will.
