No hassle solar panel installations
Harness the power of the sun to lower your energy costs and enjoy clean, renewable energy every day. At GB Energy Group, we specialise in designing and installing high-quality solar panel systems for homes and businesses across East Sussex, West Sussex, Kent, and Surrey.
Our expert team makes it simple to transition to solar energy, helping you reduce electricity bills, decrease your carbon footprint, and gain energy independence. With generous government incentives and local expertise, switching to solar is easier and more rewarding than ever.
We don't make you answer lengthy online questionnaires. We're a local business, so we'll come and visit you at your home and check that your house is suitable, and talk to you about your options.
We'll design a solar system following what we've seen during our initial visit. Based on your energy use and the space available, we'll design a completely tailored system, with a transparent quotation.
Once you're happy with the quote, we'll take care of everything, from approvals from the national grid, to arranging the scaffolding. We'll install the solar system at a time that suits you.
Upon completion of the install, we'll give you a thorough handover of the system including a walk though of all the safety mechanisms, as well as all the warranties, insurances and certificates you'll need.
As soon as we turn the system on, you'll be generating electricity from the sun. This will have an immediate impact on your bills. You can view on your phone, any time using the system's monitoring app.
If you'd like us to continue to monitor and service your new system, you can purchase one of our ongoing support packages for a small monthly fee.
Although our name makes us sound big, we're actually a small business based in the heart of East Sussex. We'll look after you because you're our neighbours!
Your experience is our primary concern. That means we turn up when we say we're going to turn up. We'll install your system diligently with minimal disruption and hassle.
We know solar. If you think you have a complicated home, or tricky circumstances, we've seen it all before! We'll talk you through all your options.
From the moment you reach out to us, we'll guide you through the entire process. From survey, to design to quote to installation and then handover, we'll keep you informed.
As a small business, we know that value for money is paramount for our customers. We won't ever sacrifice the quality of our installation, but we're continuously reviewing our pricing to ensure the best returns on investment.
We'll only install MCS approved products that we know our customers are happy with and will continue to work for the lifetime of the system. If things need to be replaced, all the products we install come with long manufacturers warranties.
We'll provide you with access to a smartphone app to check up on your new solar system. Monitor how much energy you're producing, what you're using and how much you're exporting to the grid.
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells, which are made of semiconducting materials. When sunlight hits the PV cells, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms, creating a flow of electricity.
Solar panels can be installed on most types of roofs, including flat, sloping, and even curved roofs. However, the suitability of your home will depend on factors such as roof orientation, shading, and structural integrity. Our team will check that your home is suitable on our initial site visit.
The cost of solar panels varies depending on factors such as the size of the system, the brand and quality of the panels, and the installation costs. On average, a typical 6kW solar panel system can cost between £7,000 to £15,000.
The installation time for solar panels can vary depending on the size of the system and the complexity of the installation. However, a typical installation for a residential system can take between one to three days.
The benefits of installing solar panels include reduced energy bills, lower carbon footprint, increased home value, and protection against rising energy costs.
The amount of money you can save by installing solar panels depends on factors such as your energy usage, the size of the system, and your local electricity rates. On average, homeowners can save between £10,000 to £30,000 over the life of their solar panel system.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, typically just a regular cleaning to remove any dirt or debris that may accumulate on the panels. Our solar panels come with a warranty of 25 years, which covers any defects or issues with the panels.
Any excess energy generated by your solar panels can be stored in batteries and used when the sun is not shining.
Alternatively, it can be sold back to your local electricity grid, earning you credits on your energy bill. This allows you to offset the cost of any energy you may need to purchase from the grid during periods of low sunlight.
