Going Off Grid

How many times this week have you had a phone call from someone trying to sell you solar panels, or even trying give them to you for free?

Maybe you already have them on your roof, but are wondering if you could get a bit more than the hundred or so pounds you are saving on your electric bill.

Maybe you are looking at other ways to reduce your bills so live a low cost lifestyle as you get older.

We are sourcing partners to help and advise you on how to go Off Grid are far as you are able, without breaking the bank, without the hard sell, and help you gain a better knowledge of where the true savings are.

Did You Know

You can add battery storage to most existing solar panel systems and run your house in the evenings and night on the power you have generated during the day? At the moment if you have a free solar system installed you are simply giving the excess power generated to the company who installed it, who claim the feedback tariff for themselves. Even if you are claiming the feedback tariff yourselves, the feedback rate is a fraction of what you pay for grid supplied electricity once your panels stop generating electricity as the sun goes down.


We hope to have more for you very soon.

Changing over to LED lights can be expensive up front, however the energy saving can be significant often over 90%, and essential if going off grid.

The following companies can offer trade prices on all sorts of LED lights, including tube lights and panel lights, with a 5 year warranty.
