- CASE STUDIES
- Last Updated: 10 September 2026
Overview
A homeowner in Sutton Coldfield was keen to make solar work for their home. To help maximise the available roof space, the homeowner had some of the chimneys removed before the solar installation. With a complex roof shape and limited suitable space, we carefully assessed the property and designed a bespoke system to make the most of the area available, fitting as many suitable panels as possible.

What Our
Customer Said
“This is a very professional family run business, everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable and helpful. The initial sales guy was friendly, not pushy and clearly explained the system and how it could be financially beneficial. We had a second visit from a technical engineer to assess our options re positioning and he addressed all our concerns and questions, providing answers and reassurance. The installation team were friendly and respectful of our home and completed the whole works to a very high standard and went out of their way to put the wiring in the most discreet of places to make it totally unobtrusive. There were no surprises. The system is of a high quality and we believe the whole installation is great value for money. We are up and running and already receiving the benefits of surplus export back to the grid. We highly recommend this company.” – Mrs Brady
