Generate your own electricity
Generate renewable electricity during daylight hours to reduce the amount of energy imported from the grid.
Reduce your ongoing energy costs
Producing electricity on-site can help reduce ongoing household electricity costs over time.
Integrate Solar with your other systems
Solar PV can integrate with battery storage, EV charging and heat pump systems as part of a wider energy setup.
What to expect from your solar PV system
Solar PV systems provide a long-term way to generate renewable electricity directly from your property.
When correctly designed, systems can support everyday household demand, reduce reliance on imported electricity and become part of a wider energy strategy. Solar PV can also work alongside battery storage systems, allowing more of the energy generated during the day to be stored and used later.
- Reduced electricity costs
Lower carbon emissions
Increased energy independence
Ability to generate your own power
Our process
Every solar PV installation follows a structured process to ensure the system is correctly designed and performs reliably over time.
01.
We begin by understanding your property, energy usage and what you would like the system to achieve.
02.
Roof orientation, available space and household demand are assessed to design the system around your property.
03.
Installation and commissioning
Our in-house team installs and commissions the system, ensuring everything operates correctly.
04.
Handover and ongoing support
The completed system is explained in full, with ongoing support plans and servicing available where required.
Trusted technology partners.
These partnerships allow us to specify proven equipment from established brands, ensuring systems are designed for long-term performance.

Very professional service, the lads did a chemical flush on our boiler & upgraded the pipe from the meter to the boiler. Mathew & Daniel were prompt, courteous & very professional. The work was a carry on from our boiler repair. I recommend their service & if required will definitely use PCL in the future.

Absolutely brilliant service from PCL. The engineers were polite, professional, and completed the work efficiently in less than a day and a half. They left the house spotless after finishing, which was a great touch. Couldn’t be happier with the quality of work—highly recommend.

Everyone was very helpful and informative, providing advice not just on the basics of running the system, but also on how to tweak the system and improve performance as we get to know it. This was a major financial commitment on our part, so to have such an excellent team of installers was very reassuring. We would recommend this company to anyone looking to install greener energy systems.

We have used PCL for several years to install and maintain our heating system.
Most recently, they installed air source heating, solar panels, battery storage and a Vaillant heating system. For this new build, they also completed all plumbing and electrical work. The whole team is skilled, knowledgeable and reliable, including the apprentices, and the office team communicates well throughout. Phil and his team have been reassuring to work with and are always responsive, whether it is an emergency or a smaller job.

First class service and top class staff. Gas engineer and Electrician came and surveyed my property very quickly and at the time agreed. Works were also carried out in a very timely manner, very professionally and tidily. Office staff were also very helpful and supportive and any of my queries were responded to very promptly. Very impressed with the service I received and I will be using PCL for any future works required and would not hesitate in recommending this company to anyone looking for domestic Central Heating system and Electrical work.

Solar PV systems generate electricity that can be used throughout your home or stored in battery systems, while solar thermal systems use energy from the sun specifically to heat water. The two technologies can be installed together, allowing one system to support household electricity demand and the other to help reduce hot water energy use.
Generation depends on system size, roof orientation and property location. A typical domestic system can generate a significant proportion of household electricity demand.
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than direct sunlight, although output will vary depending on weather conditions.
Yes. Solar PV systems can work alongside heat pumps to help reduce the electricity required to operate the system.
Yes. Battery systems can store excess electricity generated during the day so it can be used later.
Solar PV systems generally require very little maintenance, although periodic checks help ensure long-term performance.
