Solar PV Installations

Our approach

We are fully qualified and experienced in solar PV installation and home battery storage in and around Brighton.  

We take a tailored approach to our solar PV installations. We spend time talking customers through options, sourcing quality products specific to their needs and providing excellent aftercare. 

Hard selling and mis-selling is worryingly common with sections of the solar industry, leaving customers paying too much for products that don't deliver the returns they are expecting, feeling pressured and not getting the products that best suit their needs.  

We feel our personalised approach sets us apart. 

We truly care about our customers, this shows in the details of our work and in our communications. The people you speak to from initial contact, to installation right through to commissioning and sign off are all part of our team: we don't use 3rd party sales reps or installers.

We will provide you with an honest proposal that will show in detail how much electricity installing solar on your property is likely to generate over the course of a year, and an estimate of how long it will take to pay off your initial investment. With this information you can make an informed decision about whether solar is the right choice for you. 

If you then wish to go ahead with us for your solar installation project you can expect the same excellent quality of workmanship, attention to detail and customer service that has built our great reputation.

As Members of the RECC (renewable energy consumer code) and the MCS (microgeneration certification scheme) you can be assured that our work and all procedures are regularly inspected by 3rd parties, we have all the correct insurances in place and our installations are done to the highest standards and up to date with the latest regulations.

Battery storage installation

We also offer battery storage installation so you can use more of the green energy that you produce! The benefits of adding battery storage to your system will be detailed in the proposal. Any excess power you produce that you don't need can then be sold back to the grid to help you save even more.

Solar PV installation: steps

We provide people with all information they need to make an informed decision on opting for solar panel installation. 

1. Firstly, using advanced software we calculate if solar panels are suitable for your property, providing a free proposal taking in factors such as roof space, property orientation, energy costs and if adding battery storage is beneficial. We will be able to give a detailed estimate as to what you would generate over a 25-year period and how much that could help to reduce your energy bills.
2. From here (if not done before the initial proposal) we will arrange a site visit from one of our in-house team to take more detailed measurements of your roof, check for any structural issues or shading, finalise locations for inverters and batteries, and talk you through the products we have suggested. We will also be happy to take time to answer any questions you have. 
3. We will send you a more detailed proposal pack along with a contract of sales for you to read and sign in your own time under no pressure.
4. We will agree a schedule for the works with you, order the materials required for the job, arrange scaffolding to be erected (if necessary) and undertake the installation with as little disruption as possible.
5. Once the installation is completed you will receive a handover pack with all the information needed to get the most out of your solar installation. We will also give you an in-person demonstration of how everything works so you have a good understanding of your system.
6. Aftercare. This is one of the most important services we offer and a big bonus of choosing a local company to help with your solar installation. We will be there when you need us if any issues arise. We give a 5 year insurance backed warranty on all of our workmanship which means that even if we were for some reason unable to fulfill our warranty personally it would be honored by our insurers. On top of this most of the products we install have even longer manufacturers warranty than that (up to 25 years on solar panels)!

Our commitment to low-carbon technology

At Resistance Electrical we are committed to promoting renewable energy and low-carbon technologies. We all need to take positive steps to protect our climate and environment, and to create a brighter future.

Renewable energy is derived from natural sources that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed, for example, sunlight and wind. Unlike fossil-fuels, renewable energy does not damage the environment. Long-term it can save the planet and money as sunlight and wind are free!

We are fully qualified and experienced in installing electric vehicle charges, solar panels and home battery storage. These low-carbon technologies play a vital role in breaking our dependency on fossil-fuels.
