Your trusted expert in renewable energy

Generating savings you can measure

Several of the solutions we offer enable you to be cash-positive by years 2 -3, and only grow from there. With our financing options, you can fund your solar system using the savings you make on your energy costs.

Meet environmental targets by reducing your carbon footprint

Solar panels reduce your reliance on fossil fuels that lead to climate change. They lower your CO2 emissions and in their third year of installation, become carbon-neutral.

How solar works

1

Solar panels absorb natural light

Each panel comprises small units called PV cells made from a semiconductor material.

2

Sun shines, generating electricity

When sunlight hits these cells, electrons in the material move, creating a charge of electricity.

3

Currents are converted to energy

The electricity then flows into an inverter where it’s converted into AC power ready to be used.

4

Excess energy sent to the grid

If you don’t use or store all the electricity generated, it can fed back to the national grid.

Testimonials

“Given the current energy crisis, and ever-increasing environmental awareness within supply chains, we knew we had to explore solar again, and honestly, I wish we had done it sooner. When we looked at the figures, we were taken aback by the payback period, prospective savings and in my eyes, it did just make more sense than ever before. ”

“We are investing money in renewables because we are expanding the business and the energy bills are going up and up. It makes good business sense.”

“Centreco were in another ballpark in terms of their levels of professionalism in the development stage of this project compared to other installers we were talking to. Their in-house scaffolding, installation and electrical teams reflected this when they started to install on our site itself..”
