Seven categories
Solar solutions
What each category covers, what it includes, and what it is designed to achieve. Where a result depends on your site, we say so rather than quoting a general figure.
Solar categories in detail
-
Solar panels (photovoltaic systems)
Generate electricity from sunlight using photovoltaic panels.
What it includes
- Design and installation of rooftop and ground-mounted solar systems
- Integration with existing electrical infrastructure
- Systems scaled for residential, commercial and industrial use
What it is designed to achieve
- Reduced electricity costs, with the scale depending on system size, site conditions and tariff
- A share of electricity supply generated from a renewable source
- Low maintenance requirements and long panel service life
-
Solar-powered LED lighting
Provide outdoor and indoor lighting powered by solar energy, reducing reliance on grid electricity.
What it includes
- Solar garden lights, pathway lights and street lighting systems
- Indoor solar-powered LED lighting for areas without reliable electricity access
What it is designed to achieve
- Lower electricity consumption for lighting
- Installation without wiring or a mains power outlet
- Suitable for outdoor areas, gardens and remote locations
-
Solar water heating
Heat water for residential and commercial use with solar energy.
What it includes
- Solar water heaters supplying hot water for daily use
- Systems designed to reduce electricity or gas consumption for water heating
What it is designed to achieve
- Lower energy bills where solar replaces electricity or gas for water heating
- Reduced energy consumption, and with it the emissions associated with that consumption
- Long service life and low maintenance
-
Solar-powered air conditioning and fans
Provide cooling powered by solar energy, reducing reliance on grid electricity.
What it includes
- Solar-powered fans and ventilation systems for homes and commercial spaces
- Solar-powered air conditioning units suited to hot climates
What it is designed to achieve
- Lower cooling costs, particularly where electricity tariffs are high
- Cooling drawn from a renewable source rather than grid electricity
- Reduced energy use for cooling without reducing comfort
-
Solar-powered appliances
Run household appliances on solar energy, reducing dependence on the grid.
What it includes
- Solar-powered refrigerators and freezers
- Solar-powered washing machines and other household appliances
What it is designed to achieve
- A workable power option for off-grid properties as well as urban homes
- Less reliance on non-renewable energy sources for everyday appliances
- Appliance running costs tied to generation rather than tariff
-
Solar-powered security systems
Run security equipment on solar power, so it keeps operating without an external power supply.
What it includes
- Solar-powered security cameras, motion sensors and alarm systems
- Suited to remote or off-grid locations where conventional wiring is not practical
What it is designed to achieve
- Continuous operation without dependence on a mains connection
- Installation in locations with no access to power lines
- Lower running costs than a mains-connected equivalent
-
Smart solar home systems
Combine solar generation with smart home technology so energy use can be monitored and managed.
What it includes
- Solar panel systems integrated with smart home automation platforms
- Energy management systems for monitoring and adjusting household consumption
- Controls covering home heating, cooling and lighting
What it is designed to achieve
- Renewable generation and smart controls working as one system
- Real-time visibility of energy consumption
- Energy savings and comfort managed through automation rather than manually
