This delightful four-bedroom cottage nestles quietly in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside, surrounded by a friendly mix of neighbours, from grazing cows to curious rabbits and vibrant songbirds. Just beyond the garden, a gently flowing river meanders through the landscape, often visited by canoeists and walkers alike. Life here feels wonderfully connected to nature.
However, one thing they noticed was the home could be more environmentally conscious—using less energy and cutting down on the rising utility bills—so they decided to explore ways to make the property more sustainable and cost-effective.
Our installers helped this client by:
- Our solar panel installers completed the job in just one day.
- The panels were fitted on a separate building next to the cottage, which houses the Reynold family gym.
- Instead of traditional roof tiles, this roof is covered with composite tiles — known for being long-lasting and virtually unbreakable, making them ideal for solar panels.
Solar energy has been gaining momentum across homes in the UK, with thousands opting to switch to renewable sources each month. Recently, a significant number of households chose to enhance their setup by adding battery storage alongside their solar panels. They also integrated smart energy management systems to optimise how they use the electricity produced. By combining battery storage with intelligent controls, they’re able to store excess power during the day and use it when demand is higher, helping to reduce reliance on the grid and cut energy bills significantly.
