An increasing number of people in Kent and the surrounding counties have decided to have solar installations added to their homes. Motivated by the government schemes available, and with growing concerns over sustainable living, the environment and others making the same leap, you will see more solar panel installations taking place locally and nationally as time moves on.
Many solar installations in Kent have been installed by our own domestic and commercial electricians, all of whom are trained, qualified and accredited.
Areas covered by our company include:
Sevenoaks | Tonbridge | Tunbridge Wells | The Surrounding Areas

There are a number of benefits to solar installations. Most importantly, they are renewable energy sources. This means that they produce clean energy without emitting harmful pollutants. You no longer have to rely on the grid which is largely powered by finite resources which are rapidly running out, and damaging our ecosystem. Solar panels are an incredibly eco-friendly option that help you play a direct role in reducing your carbon emissions.
But that is not the only reason why many electricians are receiving increasing interest from Kent residents interested in this particular form of work.
Solar installations can save you significant amounts of money on energy bills.
You will be generating your own electricity, reducing the amount you have to draw from the National Grid. This can be a significant outgoing cost at a time when household electricity bills are on the rise and wage levels are stagnant.
One final reason to consider solar installations is the fact they can add value to a property. They increase resale value because more homebuyers than ever before are looking for energy-efficient properties. This may mean that when you come to sell, the initial investment into the panels and calling in an electrician to install the main components will have more than paid for itself.
As local domestic and commercial electricians, we play a critical role in the solar panel installation process. We never recommend DIY attempts due to the number of complex steps and technical knowledge required, not to mention it can be dangerous to work at height with heavy materials without proper training. And this is usually the case when electrical work is in order.
Firstly, an Elite electrician will need to conduct an assessment of your property to determine the best location for your solar installation. We assess the roofing angle, its direction and potential shading to determine this. The final goal is maximum efficiency and energy production from a solar panel installation.
Next, our electricians install the solar panels onto the roof, securing them and connecting to the electrical system. The intermediary is known as an inverter, which converts the DC energy generated by solar panels into a more usable AC format. This energy is then fed into Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Kent properties to provide harnessed power to homes and businesses.
We also install monitoring systems that will track the energy production of the new solar panels in real time. It is important to know how much energy your property is generating, and fantastic to see how much money you are saving on energy bills due to your decision to invest into a new solar installation.
