Cottam, Lancashire
A clean rooftop array in Cottam: 12 all-black panels fitted on a hook and rail system with a 5kW inverter and 10kWh of battery storage — the rails keep the panels close to the roofline for a tidy finish, and the battery covers the evening. Commissioned and handed over with full generation figures.

Cottam, Lancashire
A 40-panel commercial array on the flat roof of Little Brambles nursery in Cottam: panels on low-tilt ballasted frames running through a 15kW Fox inverter, so the nursery uses what it generates as it generates it — heating, kitchen and daytime lighting all draw from the roof before the grid. Surveyed, installed and commissioned by our commercial team, with drone footage of the finished roof below.

Chorley, Lancashire
A tidy rooftop array in Chorley: 12 panels fitted on a hook and rail system with an 8kW inverter and 16kWh of battery storage — plenty of capacity to run the home into the evening and charge the batteries for the next day. The roof kept its clean lines throughout, and the system was commissioned and handed over with full generation figures.

Wigan, Greater Manchester
A rooftop array in Wigan: 12 all-black panels laid out across two sections of the tiled roof with an 8kW inverter and 10kWh of battery storage. Bird-proofing mesh runs around the array to keep pigeons out from day one, and the system was commissioned and handed over with full generation figures.

Lytham St Annes, Lancashire
A substantial rooftop array in Lytham: 16 panels on an Esdec mounting system with an 8kW inverter and 32kWh of battery storage — enough to run the home through the evening and store surplus for the next day. Drone survey made short work of the design, and the whole system was commissioned and handed over with full generation figures.

Penwortham, Lancashire
Two recent installs in Penwortham. First, a low-profile flat-roof array: 4 panels mounted clear of the dormer roofline with an 8kW inverter and 20kWh of battery storage — a big battery that keeps the home running well into the evening. Second, a larger rooftop system: 10 panels on the slate roof with an 8kW inverter and 32kWh of battery storage, finished with bird-proofing mesh around the array. Both were commissioned and handed over with full generation figures.

Fulwood, Lancashire
A full home solar and storage system in Fulwood: 20 Aiko Gen3 490W panels — just under 10kW of array — on a 10kW inverter, paired with 24.6kWh of Fox ESS PowerQ stackable battery storage. The PowerQ units stack to the capacity the household needs, and the system is set up for home back-up, so the essential circuits keep running when the grid goes off. The array is mounted on black rails across the pitched tile roof for a low-profile finish, and the install was commissioned and handed over with full generation figures.

Longton, Lancashire
Two recent installs in Longton. First, a sleek in-roof array: 14 panels mounted in a GSE in-roof system with a 5kW inverter — the panels sit flush with the new slate, looking almost part of the roof itself rather than bolted on top. Second, a compact system on an Esdec mounting system: 6 panels with an 8kW inverter and 10kWh of battery storage. Both were commissioned and handed over with full generation figures.

Croston, Lancashire
A large array in Croston: 20 panels mounted on rails with an 8kW inverter and a serious 40kWh of battery storage — enough capacity to run the home into the evening and bank surplus for days. The rails keep everything close to the roofline for a clean finish, and the system was commissioned and handed over with full generation figures.

Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire
A smart all-black array in Poulton-le-Fylde: 10 panels mounted on the tiled roof with a 5kW inverter and 10kWh of battery storage, fitted while the scaffold was up and the extension works were underway. Commissioned and handed over with full generation figures.

Elswick, Lancashire
One of our biggest domestic installs to date, just up the road in Elswick: 30 panels across the barn-style roof with a 10kW three-phase inverter and a huge 60kWh of battery storage — enough to run the home and store surplus for days, not hours. Fitted on a slate roof that keeps its clean lines, drone-surveyed for the design and commissioned with full generation figures.
