Solar Panels for Your Home

Solar Panel Installation Services for Homes & Businesses Across the UK

At Climate Force, we specialise in bespoke solar panel installation services for homes, businesses, schools, and public buildings. Our high-efficiency solar photovoltaic (PV) systems harness the power of sunlight to generate clean electricity, helping you lower your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. Whether you’re seeking to power your home or commercial property, our solar solutions are designed to maximise energy output and minimise reliance on traditional energy suppliers.

With a grid-tied system, any surplus electricity generated by your solar panels is exported back to the National Grid, potentially earning you money through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Alternatively, a solar battery storage system allows you to store excess energy for later use, ensuring you benefit from renewable power even at night or on cloudy days. For added peace of mind, we can also install systems with backup power capabilities, keeping your essential appliances running during power cuts.

The installation process is quick, efficient, and tailored to your property. Our skilled roofing team selects the ideal setup for your roof type, while our expert electricians ensure the system operates seamlessly. We pride ourselves on delivering hassle-free installations, complete with a thorough handover to help you start saving on energy costs from day one.

Based in Hertfordshire, we proudly provide professional solar panel installations across London, Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and the surrounding areas.

Climate Force’s Simple Five-Step Solar Installation Process

Free Survey & Consultation

We begin with a complimentary survey conducted by one of our expert solar consultants. During the survey, we’ll assess your roof space and explain the various solar technologies available. You’ll receive a tailored report detailing the feasibility of solar on your property, the estimated performance, and financial savings.

Fixing the Mounting Rails

Our professional installation team will carefully lift tiles and secure solar fixings to your roof’s rafters, ensuring a solid and safe installation. Mounting rails are then attached to these fixings, creating a strong foundation for the solar panels.

Securing the Solar Panels

Next, we fasten the solar panels onto the mounting rails, ensuring they are securely positioned. The panels are connected electrically in a series, or “strings“, and may be fitted with optimisers or micro-inverters to maximise their efficiency.

Electrical Installation

Our qualified electricians connect the solar panel strings to an inverter, converting the direct current (DC) generated by the panels into alternating current (AC) that’s suitable for use in your home or business.

Handover & Certification

Once installation is complete, we’ll provide you with a detailed handover pack, which includes the MCS certificate – an essential document for claiming government incentives such as the Smart Export Guarantee.

Maximise Your Return on Investment (ROI) with Solar Panels

Investing in solar panels can significantly reduce your energy bills and protect you from future energy price hikes. On average, UK homeowners can expect a return on investment within 7-10 years, with solar panels lasting 25-30 years or more. Additionally, if you opt for a solar battery, you can further optimise your energy use and increase your savings by up to 70%. The UK Government has made a solar and battery installation VAT exempt.

For businesses, the savings can be even more substantial, with lower operating costs and the potential opportunity to capitalise on self-use without the need for storage. The return on investment can be as quick as 3-6 years. Solar energy can also help businesses achieve sustainability goals, improving your green credentials and demonstrating environmental responsibility to your customers.

By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, solar panels also increase the value of your property, offering a long-term financial benefit. With rising electricity costs, switching to solar power is an investment that pays for itself while making a positive environmental impact.

Solar PV for New Building Developments

At Climate Force, we also specialise in providing solar PV solutions for new build developments, helping to meet regulatory requirements such as Building Regulations Part L, the Code for Sustainable Homes, and BREEAM.

Our range of solar options includes in-roof systems that integrate seamlessly into the structure, offering aesthetic benefits, reduced labour time, and lower material costs. These systems are ideal for developments as they provide reduced wind loading and add less weight to the building, while still delivering optimal energy performance.

See the aesthetically sympathetic GSE In-Roof System shown below.

Solar Panel Installations for All Roof Types

We provide solar solutions for various roof types, including:

  • Flat bitumen felt roofs
  • Interlocking tile roofs
  • Clay tile roofs
  • Slate roofs
  • In-roof systems

No matter the type of roof, our experienced installers ensure that your solar system is mounted safely and securely, providing you with maximum energy generation for years to come.

GSE are a European leader in integrated solar PV mounting systems. The mounts work with many types of solar PV panels. They provide an aesthetically enhanced finish to the roof  compared to standard on roof mounting systems and are MCS012 certified.

Thinking of replacing your roof? A GSE roof integrated solar PV mounting system will save money on roofing materials. The GSE system is compatible with tiled or slate roofs. The GSE system is so low profile that pigeons cannot climb underneath and make a mess of your roof, therefore saving on the clean up costs and the materials and labour time to fit solar panel pigeon proofing.

Our solar panel installation team are accredited to install Bauder Solar’s innovative flat roof solution that protects the integrity of the waterproofing warranty. The mounting system is bonded to the felt roof  – membrane to membrane. This negates the need for ballasting which can be as heavy as 100kgs per sqm, provides a strong windproof bond and cuts down on the amount of labour time required to hoist the system onto the roof. The strong bond guarantees the solar panels will not move position whilst only placing a light load on the roof of approximately 9 – 13kg/m2. Our flat roofing team are Bauder trained in setting out and fixing the system to a Bauder felt roof.

The Bauder system can be retrofitted or fitted to new build properties.The Bauder team produce bespoke designs and take a special interest in every project, guaranteeing the quality of workmanship and materials  from start to finish. A lightweight and robust product with an enviable finish to every flat roof project.

Climate Force Ltd recommends SolarEdge inverters.

SolarEdge are one of the world’s leading inverter technology manufacturers. Their innovative optimiser technology provides real time feedback on the performance of individual panels via a power app interface and online monitoring portal. This simplifies fault diagnosis and performance comparisons are simple.

SolarEdge & Fire Safety

Solar inverters are typically powered up by DC electricity created by daylight and then converter to AC power by the inverter. During daylight hours, solar PV produces power without stopping for a break! AC electricity from the grid can be interrupted by fault detection through a consumer unit. But what about the solar panels? SolarEdge DC safe technology shuts the solar PV DC production down to 1 volt per panel – so handling the panels and the cables becomes safe.
