Solar PV New Install
Our qualified technical surveyor will help you through the process of buying your new solar array to ensure that you are not disappointed in years to come.
For a free assessment throughout the North east of England and to find out how much you could be saving, whilst caring for the environment, give us a call, email or complete the enquiry form to arrange your free on-site survey.
Having received quotes from us, you need to run the numbers to see if it makes financial sense for you to invest. It is important to bear in mind though, that solar photovoltaic systems are modular, therefore new panels or updated technology can be introduced at later dates as finances allow, further increasing the electrical output potential of your system.
Installing a solar PV array on your property should not be solely a financial decision though; you should also take into account energy security.
As demand for electricity in the UK continues to increase, the supply side is not keeping up. Over the next 3 years, 8 of the UK’s coal power plants are going to close, due to EU legislation on emissions, and by the end of the decade some of our nuclear capacity is also due to be decommissioned. Experts have predicted that the UK could face blackouts in the next few years.
A solar photovoltaic system can therefore reduce your reliance on energy companies, helping to minimise the impact of energy scarcity on you and your family in the future.

Solar PV System Upgrades
Different types of solar PV installations require slightly different components. If you benefitted from the higher Feed in Tariffs, it maybe that you are using out dated technology. Over the past few years the efficiency of panels, inverters and battery storage have improved greatly.
Battery Storage
Solar panels can only produce electricity when there is sunlight. This creates a problem when it is dark or cloudy and you need energy to power your home. In these circumstances, you will often need to buy electricity from your energy provider as your solar panels won’t be producing electricity for you to use.
With a solar battery storage system, you can avoid this problem. By storing any unused electricity generated by your solar panels, you can have a constant source of free electricity powering your home.
A solar battery storage system allows you to store the electricity generated by your solar panels so that you can use it during peak times or during the night when the sun is not shining. This way, you don’t waste any of the valuable power you produce when you don’t need it.
Installing a solar battery storage system alongside your solar PV array can help you to maximise the amount of solar electricity that you use, saving you money on electricity costs.
This will not only improve the efficiency of your solar PV array, but will help to further cut the amount you spend on your energy bills. Solar battery storage systems can therefore save you a lot of money in the long-term.
Solar batteries range in size from a microwave up to a small fridge. Smaller batteries can be mounted onto your wall, whilst larger batteries are often floor-standing.
Obviously the larger the solar battery, the more unused electricity can be stored. The storage capacity of solar batteries typically ranges from 1kWh to 14kWh.
Most homeowners will only need one solar battery.

SolarImmersion Hot Water
is best to use the electricity you produce from your solar PV array in your home, since that means you don’t need to buy it at 15p from the electricity company. Selling the electricity back to the grid means you are eligible for the export tariff which is only 5p/kWh.
One way to do this is with a solar diverter. These send excess energy that isn’t being used by your appliances to your immersion heater instead, helping to heat your water. Even if you divert your unused power to heat your water, you will still receive the Government backed export tariff.
These clever little gadgets prevent electricity produced from your solar panels from being exported back to the grid by diverting the electricity to the immersion instead.
Why send excess electricity to your immersion?
The reason for doing this is that under the Feed-in tariff, very few people have an export meter fitted as part of their solar installation − instead the Government assume you are exporting 50% of what is generated and pay you this accordingly. Therefore if you can use all the electricity that you produce in your home instead of exporting it then not only do you still benefit from the maximum feed-in tariff payments available you also benefit from the maximum energy savings.
On the whole these solar power diverters (also known as solar PV optimisers) divert the electricity to the immersion. They monitor the electricity being consumed in the home and the electricity being produced by the solar panels − as soon as there is a surplus being produced they divert this to the immersion unit − without the power diverter in place, this electricity would normally be exported back to the grid.

Panel Replacement
The solar panel is the key component of any solar photovoltaic system, which takes the sun’s energy and converts it into an electrical current. There are three main types of solar panel (as well as the hybrid version) currently in commercial production, all of which are based on silicon semiconductors:
Monocrystalline Solar Cells
Polycrystalline Solar Cells
Amorphous Solar Cells
Monocrystalline Solar Cells
Polycrystalline Solar Cells
Amorphous Solar Cells
Solar PV Inverters
All the electricity produced by the solar panels is produced as direct current (DC), which differs from the electricity that is distributed through the grid and we use in our homes, which is alternating current (AC). For this reason most solar photovoltaic systems are now connected up with some type of inverter, which changes the DC to AC, allowing the individual to sell the electricity back to the grid (in grid-tied systems) or to be used easily in homes.
There are 2 major types of inverter that can be installed in your solar photovoltaic system:
String Inverters (also known as central inverters)
Micro Inverters

Synergy Energy Solar PV − Service Contract
From our years of experience of solar we recommend a minimum annual inspection of your array to ensure that you are receiving the highest return on your investment possible and compliant with the recommended electrical regime of your system.
Solar Panel Maintenance
The solar panel system has two main components; the roof mounting and panels, and the inverter(s). The solar panels and roof mounting are exposed to the elements of the UK climate with wind exerting pressure on the mechanical integrity of the PV system, and the rain impacting both the panel’s electrical string connections and the roof seals under the mounting system.
The inverters are the working part of the solar PV system, receiving and converting the sunlight energy into useable AC electricity and thus part of your electrical compliance regime. The safe and effective working of the entire solar PV system determines the electricity generated and the return received on your solar PV investment.
Our preventative solar panel maintenance plan is designed to help you achieve and maximise your solar PV investment return, and to help with your risk management as part of your annual electrical compliance regime. Like the MOT of your vehicles, we recommend annual solar panel maintenance for all PV systems.
Sophisticated solar panel monitoring is now available and can automatically prompt any potential generation issues straight away to allow immediate rectification from a maintenance engineer before they become bigger, more expensive problems. For more information about maximising the your return on investment visit our Upgrades Page.

Solar Panel Service & Repair
Without a preventative maintenance plan in place you run the risk of a potential breakdown, requiring the need for an urgent solar panel service or repair to identify the issue and bring your system back online safely. This reactive approach can be expensive and also leave your home without PV generation whilst waiting for our team to arrive onsite to diagnose/repair the problem. If systems are not regularly monitored intermittent faults can go un noticed for large periods of time, leading to significant loses in returns.
When your system is offline or not able to operate to its maximum potential due to a fault, this downtime is impacting on your system’s return on investment. If a fault is anticipated, we advise that you don’t diagnose the fault yourself for health and safety reasons. Always contact your solar PV installer or Service/Maintenance provider first for advice.
We are available to provide a reactive solar panel service and repair, however, we always recommend a preventative maintenance plan as highlighted above.

Heat Pump Systems
Here at Synergy we provide a range of different systems depending on your property’s individual needs, each harnessing heat energy from different sources:
Ground Source Heat Pumps - from surface soil or bedrock via a borehole
Water Source Heat Pumps - from a source of surface water or aquifer
Air Source Heat Pumps - from the outside air
Exhaust Air Heat Pumps - from ventilation air
Each of these sources capture solar energy throughout the day that can then be converted into a renewable resource, heat, providing an environmentally friendly way of heating your property.
Heat pumps intelligently heat your property, replacing conventional oil and gas boilers, which are typically about 80-90% efficient and all-electric system, heat pumps generally deliver an annual efficiency of between 250-400% in heating and hot water.
