Fox ESS or Tesla: which battery suits you?

Fox ESS batteries stack in modules, so you can start small and grow the system as your needs change.

A Tesla Powerwall has its inverter built in and suits homes that want one tidy unit on the wall.

We help you choose on the survey, based on your roof, your fuse board and how you use power.

Which parts of Teesside do you cover for solar?

All of it: Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar, Hartlepool and Darlington, plus the villages between them. Our teams travel down from our Sunderland office.

Do coastal homes in Redcar or Hartlepool need different panels?

No special panels are needed. Exposed coastal roofs take more weather, so we look closely at the roof and its fixings before anything goes up.

How do I get a solar estimate for my Teesside home?

Answer a few questions in our quote app about your roof and your electricity use. Systems start from around £5,700, and the app shows your own estimate in minutes.

Can I get paid for the electricity I do not use?

Yes. Through the Smart Export Guarantee your energy supplier pays for each unit you send to the grid. Our Smart Export Guarantee guide explains how to pick a tariff.
