Renewable Technologies & Services

It is up to everybody to help play their part in reducing Global warming because everybody is going to be affected in some way – and one of the saddest aspects is that many of the world’s people who have played least part in causing the problem are going to be worst affected.

Make sure that you become part of the solution.

Solar Panel Installation

Our expert team has grown alongside the increasing demand on Tomlinson Longstaff for these new renewable technology solutions, and our capabilities stretch to all installation substrates, whether it be a standard angled slate roof, a flat roof, in-roof or ground mounted installation that is required.

We were delighted to receive MCS Accreditation in October 2021, and have been busy ever since with solar installations for both businesses and residential properties, including our own HQ.

We can advise on the number of panels to ensure maximum energy capture efficiency, as well as planning procedures that may be required.

And, it goes without saying that we also offer advice on storage battery solutions to enhance your energy solution to greater advantage.

We now offer a solar panel cleaning service, where our renewable tech solution experts will clean and check your panels and solar power solution for efficiency to maximise your green energy capture. We use a specialised solution and equipment to remove accumulated dirt, debris, bird droppings and nests that can reduce the efficiency of your solar panels by up to 20%.

Solar Edge

Tomlinson Longstaff are approved installers of SolarEdge equipment, offering industry-leading solar technology for homes and businesses.

Electric Vehicle Charge Point Installation

We can help guide you through the Electric Vehicle Charging (EVCP) grants that are available to install charging points + install these units.

Battery Storage Installation

Battery storage solutions can be installed alongside solar PV or on their own. You can benefit from cheap rate electric during the night and use this during peak rate dynamic pricing which is due to come into force in the next two years. By doing this we can see huge savings to our electricity bills with reasonable paybacks.

Bird Protection Mesh Included as Standard

At Tomlinson Longstaff, we fit bird protection mesh as standard with every solar PV installation.

While solar panels provide an ideal source of renewable energy, they can also create an attractive sheltered space for birds and other pests to nest underneath. Over time, nesting materials can restrict airflow around the panels, cause damage to wiring and components and result in costly maintenance issues.

Our solar panel bird protection mesh helps prevent birds and pests from accessing the space beneath the panels, protecting both your installation and your property while maintaining the performance and longevity of your solar power system.

Whether your solar installation is for a domestic property, commercial premises, industrial facility or educational setting, bird protection is a simple but effective way to safeguard your investment from day one.

Upgrade to a Solar Skirt for the Perfect Finishing Touch

For customers looking for an even smarter finish, we also offer the option of upgrading to a solar skirt system.

A solar skirt provides a sleek perimeter trim around the edge of the solar panel design, creating a clean, professional appearance while delivering additional protection for your installation.

Benefits of a solar skirt include:

Preventing birds and pests from accessing the underside of the panels.
Concealing panel mounts, brackets and cabling for a cleaner appearance.
Helping to protect wiring and installation components from exposure to the elements.
Reducing strong winds getting beneath the panels.
Creating a more aesthetically pleasing and professional appearance to the domestic, commercial and industrial solar installations.

As well as offering practical protection, a solar skirt gives your solar installation a premium, finished appearance that many customers feel compliments the look of the building and the quality of the investment they've made.

When discussing your solar installation, our team will be happy to explain the options available and help you choose the solution that's right for your building.
