We are Tesla Powerwall Accredited and installed the first non-test Tesla Powerwall battery in the UK. We were one of the first companies to offer the Panasonic high efficiency solar panels. We lead the industry in offering solar energy solutions that are impacted by shade through the use of quad tracking inverters, optimisers, microinverters and now Maxim smart modules - the latest solar panel innovation.
We also lead the industry in export restricted solar energy systems coupled with automatic electric car charging and automatic pool heating systems. Long-established trusted local installer with in-depth technical knowledge and experience. Industry-leading 10 year workmanship warranty, guaranteed by an independent insurance company. We are very proud to have been selected to represent the renewables sector in this year's Parliamentary Review.
The aim of the Review is to showcase best practice as a learning tool to promote reform in the environmental arena. We installed the 1st, non test, Tesla Powerwall battery in the UK and are a Tesla Certified Installer.

One of Totnes Energy's directors, Andrew Collenette, sailed around the world on a small boat using solar electricity, solar hot water, wind turbines, water turbines and a large battery as the only source of energy.
Seeing the damage to the planet on this journey inspired him to join the environmental group, Transition Chichester, on his return.
Andrew soon realised that the low impact way of life on a boat could easily be transferred to living in a house.
Andrew's passion for the environment and his experience as a Chartered Accountant lead to Azeco Limited, which installed it's first solar system in 2009.

Solar electricity panels are also known as solar photovoltaic, solar PV or simply "solar panels".
These panels generate electricity that can be used in your home.
If the electricity is not used, it is automatically sent to the grid.
The electricity can be stored in batteries or in hot water cylinders (using an immersion heater).
Solar hot water systems, also known as solar thermal panels, use solar panels to convert the sun's energy into hot water.
They offer a virtually carbon free solution to generating solar hot water.

National Grid blames future rises in the cost of electricity on the number of coal-fired power stations being closed plus the cost of subsidising wind farms.
By generating you own electricity you are less reliant on buying electricity from the grid.
Lock yourself into a fixed price with solar.

The Panasonic panels have corners cut out from the aluminium frame.
This allows the water to drain from the panels meaning there is no minimum pitch in the warranty for Panasonic panels.
Pools of water on the glass make the glass turn white and over time causes a reduction in performance.
Also water pooling encourages algae growth, which would require regular cleaning.
Some panels have a very high output such as the Canadian Solar 330W Poly CS6U-330P; however, they are just larger panels so are not particularly efficient.

The time a company has been in business is important, since it brings cumulative knowledge and experience.
However, companies such as Seraphim were set up only eight years ago by leading individuals in the solar industry.
Sometimes new companies have access to the very latest manufacturing plant, increasing the quality control and the latest techniques of panel production.
Solar panels do not fail very often.
In independent performance test, many of the top panels are now manufactured in Asia.
Some Chinese companies, such as JA Solar, have more experience in manufacturing than some German companies such as Axitec and Solar-Fabrik.
