Solar PV Installation UK

So, you have spent weeks, discussing, researching, and debating the value of a solar PV installation UK for your business. Not to mention your NET Zero targets and carbon footprint. You have arrived at the door of solar PV installers, Perfect Sense Energy! Well, congratulations you made the right choice as we are a Solar Panel and Green Technologies installer with over 12 years of experience in this game. We were talking about Green Technologies way before the quick buck kids arrived on the scene.

What happens when I go ahead with a solar PV installation UK?

Once the agreement is done and dusted and the cost of the solar installation is confirmed – this details a complete analysis of the savings you are going to make, it’s time to get the ball rolling and send emails to finance and operations.

The finance job is to raise the invoice for the feasibility and technical studies.

What are solar PV feasibility and technical studies?

“This is a site survey carried out on your property to assess the integrity of the roof structure to ensure that any installation is completely 100% safe.”

Then it is on to operations. Now operations are communications Jedi’s. Andy our head of ops has his processes nailed down and running like a well-electrified machine.

Andy’s team’s first task is to complete a visit to your business’s site(s) to audit the electrical infrastructure and take measurements. A detailed independent report is generated which provides the engineering team with the confidence it needs to begin the solar installation process on your lovely roof.

Now we play the waiting game and sit tight for the DNO – which is commonly known as the grid. They need to approve the connection of your solar PV system to their infrastructure.

This is, unfortunately, part of the process that is out of our hands, but Andy and his team will keep you up to date at all points.

Eventually, the email creeps into our inbox, and it’s all systems go. With the customers’ approval, the kit arrives on-site, scaffolding is erected and the lads make their way down to begin the installation.

I like to think of them arriving like superstars, appearing in slow motion through a cloud of dry ice, Justin, the MD of our installation arm announcing them as they do – they don’t bring guns.

Finishing off your solar PV installation UK

Team talks take place, expectations are set out and the guys fall into a well-practiced way of operating, fittings (all the bits that fix it to the roof) find their way to the roof, as do the solar panels and cables, a lot of hard work and many bacon butties later, 200kw of solar power panel energy appears on your roof as if by magic.

One of the best things our clients say to us time and time again is that they hardly knew we were on site, a massive compliment to Justin and his team as we always look at the environment we are installing beforehand to keep disruption to zero, not even a minimum.

I joke around, but to be serious for once, I am in awe of the work our delivery teams put in, the pride they take in their work and the attention to detail is second to none. if it wasn’t for operations, Perfect Sense Energy would not be what it is today.
