Based at the Warmer Home Improvements showroom at 31b Great Western Road, My Home Solar offers costcutting solar photovoltaic panels and battery storage solutions for homeowners throughout the UK.

“Solar energy is the most abundant source of energy on the planet,” says company director Andrew Summerfield.
“To make the most of it, you need technology that can capture, create, and store energy.
“My Home Solar offers a specialised solar PV installation service over the whole of the UK, from the north coast to the south coast.
“We cover all areas of solar, battery storage.
Solar panels let you use the sun’s energy to generate your own free electricity. We have successfully completed multiple installations, so you can rely on us to provide the best service. Our goal is to give the best end-to-end solar PV installation service available.”
The benefits of installing solar panels are abundantnot only will your home be less dependent on the National Grid, you’ll be helping the environment by reducing the need to burn fossil fuels at polluting power plants.
High performance solar panels make use of energy that would otherwise go to waste while helping you save money on your monthly fuel bills.
Andrew added: “We pride ourselves on the high quality of work we provide to our valued clients and believe that our technical expertise mixed with sound business procedures has made us a force to be reckoned with.
“Renewable energy is the future and we are at the forefront of changing the UK’s energy market landscape for eternity. By offering cost-effective, ecofriendly solar energy solutions, we aim to revolutionise how energy is produced and utilised.
“We only work with the
Tweaks to fans, pumps and motors can halve energy cost
Substantial savings can be made – even when running legacy equipment
Renewable energy is crucial for a sustainable future, and modern technologies such as solar, wind & ground source are great.
But according to RPEME, it’s also possible to optimise your existing energy set-up. Implementing power factor correction or voltage optimisation could significantly reduce energy costs. Further savings are possible by installing variable speed drives (VSDs). The primary benefit of VSDs is improved energy efficiency in motors and they are particularly effective in applications such as fans, pumps, compressors, and machinery.
For example, reducing the speed of a motor by just 20% can cut power consumption by an impressive 50%.
RPEME will assess your current system and advise.
Russ Prevett of RPEME said: “We can install solutions to save your business money on energy costs.
“It’s also possible to optimise your existing electrical power supply with significant cost savings being achieved, especially for industrial or 3 phase installations. Old, electrically-inefficient equipment can make the power supply equally inefficient – without replacing the machinery, this can be corrected.
“The voltage could be optimised – Motors can be tuned.” rpeme.co.uk
