Turn sunlight into electricity for your home with solar panels from Climate Hero, a subdivision of Gas Safe Hero. We help you understand your options and choose a system suited to your property, electricity use and budget.
Every home uses energy differently. Your roof, the amount of sunlight it receives and when you use electricity all help determine which solar system will suit you.
We start by understanding your property and what you want to achieve. Then we explain the options clearly, so you can make an informed decision.
Smart energy, lower bills, and a brighter future for your home.
Power your home with electricity produced on your own roof. Using solar energy during the day can reduce the amount of electricity you need to buy from your supplier.
Your potential savings depend on your system size, roof conditions, electricity tariff and how much solar power you use at home. We can assess these factors when preparing your proposal.
A compatible battery can store surplus solar electricity for use later, including in the evening. We can discuss whether battery storage would suit your household.
Solar panels turn sunlight into electricity without burning fuel during operation, helping you reduce your reliance on electricity from the grid.
Process
A simple, transparent journey designed to make your switch to solar easy.
Share your postcode, property details and what you would like from a solar system. If you have a recent electricity bill, this can help us understand your usage.
We assess your roof, available space, shading and electrical setup to understand what is suitable for your home.
Receive a clear explanation of the recommended system, installation scope and costs, together with estimated generation and the assumptions behind it.
Once you are happy to proceed, we agree an installation schedule and explain what to expect, including access requirements and any planned interruption to your electricity supply.
After installation and testing, we explain how your system works, how to monitor its performance and where to turn for support.
If you use most of your electricity in the evening, battery storage may help you use more of the solar power your panels generate during the day.
The right choice depends on your electricity use, budget and proposed solar system. We will explain the options and help you assess whether the additional investment makes sense for your home.
Climate Hero is the renewable energy subdivision of Gas Safe Hero, focused on helping homeowners explore solar electricity and battery storage.
From your first enquiry, our aim is to give you clear information about what is suitable for your property, what the work involves and what your proposed system could deliver.
FAQS
Simple answers to your solar questions, for a smarter energy future.
Most roof types can support solar panels. Suitability depends on the roof’s condition, available space, direction, angle and shading from nearby trees or buildings. South-facing roofs usually generate the most electricity, although east- and west-facing roofs can also perform well. We’ll assess your property before recommending a system.
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, so they still work when it is cloudy. Output is lower than on a bright, sunny day and varies throughout the year, but solar remains effective across the UK.
Savings depend on the size and performance of your system, your electricity tariff and how much solar energy you use while it is being generated. A battery may let you use more of that electricity later. Your proposal will include estimated generation and savings based on your property and energy use.
No—a solar panel system can operate without one. A battery stores surplus electricity for use later, which may be helpful if you use more energy in the evening. Whether it represents good value depends on your consumption, tariff, budget and proposed system.
The cost depends on the number and type of panels, roof access, electrical work and whether you add battery storage. As a general guide, the Energy Saving Trust estimates that an average home solar system costs around £6,100 to install. We’ll provide a tailored, itemised quote following an assessment of your property.
Yes. Solar panels can be installed on most existing homes, provided the roof is in suitable condition and there is enough usable space. We’ll check the roof, shading, electrical setup and access requirements before confirming what can be installed.
