April 2024 Newsletter

It seems like spring is here at last, which means getting prepped for (hopefully!) some warmer months ahead. Coincidentally, we’ve recently launched a solar panel cleaning service to do exactly that. Have a read as to why you might want to consider it.

Our solar power solutions enquiry list continues to grow.
Are you still on the fence?
Have a look at some of the results we’ve seen so far.

We celebrated the wonderful women in our business, not least of all our Managing Director Alicia, on International Women’s Day AND our amazing apprentice, Declan, on National Apprenticeship Week.
Look out for more information on this year’s apprenticeship application process.

Potential Energy Savings of Over £14,000 A Year!

Yep, we could hardly believe our eyes either.
And only a 3.2 year payback for this client with their solar panel, optimisers, and inverters.

Like many businesses, the client wanted to offset ongoing energy price increases, especially as the business is expanding.
The team did an excellent job, designing, installing and commissioning the most effective solution within the set budget, leaving further opportunities for expansion as the business continues to grow and expand in the future.

Don’t sit on the fence.

What’s been happening…

Heads for Heights

It’s not just solar panels that see the team getting up high. This job for Biscuit International (formerly Northumbrian Fine Foods) required a head for heights in getting extended cabling fixed at high level, supplying electrical power to new sockets in the production area, feeding new production lines to the manufacturing site, and keeping the UK’s vital biscuit supplies flowing.

You can read more about the works here, or call us to have a chat about what you are looking for for your site, 01388 833836.

We are the Champions!

We were delighted to be recognised as one of an elite group of validated installers and product/brand ambassadors for Myenergi, as a result of the team’s dedicated product training and expertise.

We will only use manufacturers and suppliers that we know and trust to deliver the same exceptional quality and service that we do and are proud to champion Myenergi for renewable energy products.

Certified to hang about…

With all this high-level work that the team get involved in, it’s vital that they have the correct certificates for health and safety purposes, as well as proof of capability to work with the equipment required.

We had another 4 of the team renew their certificates, thanks to Northern Counties Safety Group for their support and training.

Well done team!

Hints & Tips

The Future Looks Brighter!

The electrical power set-up of your office, work site, or home, should be efficient AND, future-proof. 

With changes in regulations, hazardous material classifications, and leading research developments, there are many ways to make this happen for you.

Service Highlight – Max out your Solar Panels

Reports state that dirt and grime can reduce the effectiveness of your solar panels by up to 10%!

Many solar panels are manufactured with a protective coating to protect against dirt, birds and deposits, but a good spring clean in preparation for warmer weather is highly recommended.
 It’s important to use the correct cleaners and equipment, and often easier to get an expert in to do the job (funnily enough we know just the people….!)

Get ready to max out your solar gains this year, call the team on 01388 833836.
