Solar panels come in two different types: Solar thermal panels for generating hot water and solar photovoltaic panels for generating electricity. Anglian Energy Solutions offer both installations in solar photovoltaics and Solar thermal panels offer clients a wide range of products from the world's most trusted manufacturers.
We provide various brand of solar panels such as Bosch, Sharp, Sanyo, Sunpower, Yingli and Suntech, and many more brands. For existing homes, solar panels are normally installed above the existing roof, on a metal framing system. A basic survey by an installer will determine the best method of installation for your particular circumstances, although solar panels make most energy if they are angled to the south at thirty to forty degrees from the horizontal.
Solar panels can also be installed on flat roofs, or on free standing structures and should be positioned where they will not be shaded at any time of the day in order to generate the most electricity. The more southerly the location of the panels the more energy they will generate.
Solar panels are rated in ‘watt peak’ (Wp) or ‘kilowatt peak’ (kWp), for example the Solarcentury solar panel is called an SC-M185 and produces 185 watts in peak power conditions. Solar panels contain a series of solar cells which are wired together to form the panels, which produce DC (Direct Current) electricity. To convert the power for use in the home the electricity is usually converted to AC (Alternating Current) by an inverter, which is an integral part of most grid-based solar panel systems.

Grants are available towards the initial costs of installing renewable energy technologies in your home. Generating or buying green energy? You can produce your own energy in a greener, more sustainable way by using natural resources like the sun, wind or water. This is known as microgeneration. You can also access low carbon and renewable energy by buying greener electricity.
What is microgeneration?
Microgeneration uses low carbon energy technologies, like solar panels or wind turbines, to create electricity or heat in homes, businesses or community buildings. This electricity or heat is described as low, or zero, carbon energy, because it creates a low amount of carbon emissions (or none at all) when it's produced.
The benefits of microgeneration
Microgeneration can reduce the use of fossil fuels that are harmful to the environment. It can also save you money on your fuel bills in two ways:
- Producing your own energy from renewable sources could be cheaper than buying energy from energy companies
- If you generate more electricity than you use, you can sell it to energy companies, using Feed-in Tariffs (FITs).
The FITs scheme guarantees a minimum payment for all electricity you generate and a separate payment for the electricity you export to the national grid. This is in addition to the bill savings you make by using the electricity you generate. For more information on FITs, see the information on the Energy Saving Trust’s website.
Where did the Feed In Tariff originate from?
The feed in tariff is an idea borrowed from Europe. Spain Italy and Germany all use it. In Germany there are enough solar panel to match the capacity of 14 nuclear PowerStation. Put simply the feed in tariff works like this, people and companies willing to install green energy generators, are paid to generate and use their own electricity, they are paid by there power company, sometimes FOUR times the normal price, and on top of that, if you can generate any surplus and you feed it back into the national grid, you will be paid even more. The payments are guaranteed for 25 years, they are Tax-free and index link. So far 14,000 homes and businesses are making money in this way.
The Feed In Tariff is available now
The UK Feed In Tariff became effective from April 1st 2010, thus making Solar PV installations a very attractive and sensible investment.
Feed In Tariff Rates
The higher the number of panels the more profitable the systems become. Essentially the first panel is the most expensive one, once scaffold and labour are on site, the cost reduces significantly. Over 90% of our installations are carried out on domestic homes, and we do advise keeping below 4kWp size, this way you will receive the best value for your money.
This table below acts as guide of the monies you will receive providing you keep within the installation dates
Connecting to the Grid
With Anglian Energy Solutions, we provide all the assistance you require to set up and connect to the Grid. We proudly commit ourselves to every customer the ‘ HOLD YOUR HAND’ approach. We found that the process of completing forms can be a little daunting for some, so with our experience with learning the correct process that are needed, we will offer to take care of this for you or guide you through it.
Micro-CHP Boilers
Micro-CHP is a specific form of CHP designed for individual households. As a replacement for a standard domestic gas boiler, it generates power mainly for consumption in the home but also for expert, alongside heat for space and water heating.
The Baxi Ecogen is the first widely available wall-hung domestic micro-CHP boiler in the UK. The boiler produces up to 1 kWe of electricity per hour, to be used throughout the owner’s home. Electricity that doesn't get used can then be sold back to the local network. Micro-CHP units are also included within the Government’s Feed-in Tariff scheme. This means that owners of a unit receive an additional 13p on top of the standard sale price for each kilowatt hour (Kwh) of power they sell.
The benefits of local electricity generation and use mean an Ecogen unit can reduce yearly fuel bills by up to £600 and cut household carbon emissions by up to 40%. Servicing costs and intervals of every 12 months are similar to a standard boiler. The units only requires a single cable electrical connection and can be connected to an existing electricity circuit ensuring installation costs are minimised.
