Reimagine Energy with Custom Design
What is Energy Design?
Every household has unique energy requirements, our energy design process focuses on creating integrated systems where each technology complements the others, maximising the overall benefits
Combining Technologies for Maximum Impact
Each of our technologies, such as solar panels, heat pumps, batteries, and smart home applications, offer significant benefits alone, however, when these technologies are combined and designed well, the advantages are compounded. For instance, solar energy can be used directly when occupants are at home or by putting appliances and devices on a timer. With battery storage, the power generated during the day can be utilised in the evening or overnight. Additionally, batteries can be charged overnight using a Time of Use tariff at a reduced rate, allowing for cheaper operation even in winter or on cloudy days.
Benefits of Energy Design
Maximised Savings
Our experts design a system to optimise energy production and consumption, leading to significant reductions in your electricity bills.
Future-Proofing
We design with your future in mind, ensuring your system remains efficient as your energy demands change.
Sustainable Living
Reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner future by generating clean energy for your home.
Increased Property Value
A well-designed energy solution adds value to your property by lowering energy costs and demonstrating a commitment to sustainability.
How our Energy Design process works
Understanding how these technologies work together is key to our design process. Determining the correct size of the battery is crucial to balance the cost of the initial installation with future energy needs. For example, plans to purchase an electric vehicle (EV) or switch to an air source heat pump (ASHP) at the end of a gas boiler’s lifetime can impact the most suitable technology choices.
Monitor & Maximise System Performance
Usage patterns significantly affect overall system performance, making monitoring essential. Our designs include monitoring through smartphones and web portals, enabling you to check system performance and adjust your usage to maximise benefits. You can control various aspects of the system, such as whether to charge an EV or household battery first, or top up the hot water tank.
Energy Design for Your New Build Project
For those developing new properties, we offer a comprehensive review of building plans from your architect. This helps in making informed decisions about the suitability of in-roof systems, positioning of solar panels, service cupboards, battery storage, and cabling, ensuring seamless integration with your building project timeline.
Know Your Energy
Understand how you use energy with real-time monitoring. Track performance, identify usage patterns, and make informed decisions to optimise your system
Take Control, Save More
Gain control of your energy consumption. Our monitoring system allows you to prioritise charging – household battery, EV, or hot water – for maximum efficiency and cost savings.
Smart Monitoring, Simplified
Access your system performance anytime, anywhere through our user-friendly app and web portal. Monitor energy production, adjust settings remotely, and make informed energy choices.
Smart Systems & Savings
We provide expert advice on integrating various systems within your house, such as solar diverters to existing gas boilers, compatibility with EV chargers, and configuration with battery systems. Effective tariff management with your electricity provider is essential for maximising financial benefits. We can guide you on obtaining Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments for excess generation sold back to the grid, using Time of Use tariffs to charge batteries at cheaper rates overnight, and leveraging smart tariffs designed to balance the grid during peak usage times.
