Solar Help – Products for Common Questions

Over the years, we have received thousands of questions about solar panels, battery storage, off-grid power systems, solar heating, mounting systems, and renewable energy products. This section has been created to help customers find both answers and the equipment needed for their projects.

Many of the products featured within this category have been added specifically in response to customer enquiries. Whether you are looking to charge batteries, power a shed, run a cabin off-grid, add battery storage to an existing solar installation, or simply understand what equipment is required, this section is designed to point you in the right direction.

Typical questions we help customers with include:

• What size solar panel do I need?
• How much power will a solar panel generate?
• What can a solar panel run?
• Can I add battery storage to my existing system?
• What size battery do I need?
• Which inverter is suitable for my application?
• What size solar charge controller should I use?
• What cables, connectors, and mounting systems are required?
• Can solar power a shed, workshop, cabin, caravan, boat, or remote location?
• What equipment is needed for an off-grid installation?

Rather than simply providing advice, we aim to supply the products and components needed to solve these common renewable energy challenges. From individual spare parts and replacement components to complete DIY solar and battery storage systems, our product range has been developed around the questions our customers ask most often.

If you cannot find the answer or equipment you require, please contact us. With more than 20 years of experience in renewable energy and off-grid power systems, we can often recommend suitable products for your application and help you identify the components needed to complete your project.

If you are looking for help in any aspect of solar. We can provide a bespoke professional consultancy service to help you answer those questions.

We help in many ways, firstly by offering advise in many of the underlying inherent problems that can be common when looking on the internet for a solution where price is king.

Cost are variable, not unlike many other products we purchase in our life, but the common denominator is quality. Without some form of quality control the whole concept of trying to do well and not use fossil fuels is pointless. Low cost imitations only give the solar industry a bad name.  Solar was developed over time to power batteries in outer space. While in
the atmosphere, you will find it is a constant where the suns power will not alter.
What’s the difference you might ask, well on earth we have the many variations in our climate, plus the many variations of performance up and down any country. So no two locations on earth will generate the same amount of energy. Therefore it is important to understand how much you need to generate for your needs. The equipment can then be sized to match. 

With our climate comes lots of unpredictable elements, as it changes from
season to season. Strong winds, harsh arctic weather, rain snow and excessive heat. Your solar installation not only has to work at these times but it has to withstand all of what our climate can throw in its direction. To fully understand this, requires a certain amount of technical knowledge. We have over 20 years plus knowledge of what is good and bad, regarding any questions relating to renewable topics.
