Who are Shine Solar?

Yes, as a reputable solar company in the UK, Shine Solar holds accreditations from relevant industry bodies. These accreditations demonstrate our commitment to meeting and exceeding industry standards and signify our dedication to providing high-quality solar installations and services. Here are some of our accreditations and what they mean:

Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS): Shine Solar is MCS accredited. The MCS is a recognized quality assurance scheme for renewable energy systems, including solar panels. Being MCS accredited means that we have met the rigorous standards set by the scheme, ensuring that our installations comply with industry best practices and meet safety, performance, and durability requirements.

TrustMark: TrustMark is a government-endorsed quality assurance scheme that ensures companies meet high standards of workmanship, customer care, and trading practices. Shine Solar is TrustMark registered, giving our customers added confidence and peace of mind that our services have been independently assessed and meet trusted industry standards.

These accreditations validate Shine Solar’s expertise, professionalism, and commitment to delivering top-quality solar installations and services. They provide assurance to our customers that they are working with a reputable and reliable solar company that adheres to the highest standards of quality and customer satisfaction.

By harnessing the power of the sun, solar systems can significantly reduce your reliance on traditional energy sources, resulting in substantial savings on your electricity bills. On average, our customers in the UK typically see reductions of 40-70% in their energy costs after installing a solar system.

Yes, at Shine Solar, we are pleased to inform you that you can indeed sell your excess solar energy back to the grid. This is made possible through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), an initiative introduced by the UK government to support homeowners and businesses in generating renewable energy.

Under the SEG, energy suppliers are required to offer payment to customers who have installed small-scale low-carbon generation systems, including solar panels, and are exporting excess energy to the grid. The amount you receive will depend on the energy supplier you choose and the specific tariff they offer.

By participating in the SEG, you can not only reduce your dependence on the grid but also potentially earn money for the surplus energy your solar system produces. This allows you to make the most of your investment in solar energy and contribute to a more sustainable future.

At Shine Solar, we can guide you through the process of connecting your solar system to the grid and accessing the SEG. Our team of experts will ensure that your system is set up correctly to maximize your energy production and optimize your earnings from exporting excess energy.

Installing a battery alongside your solar panels can provide numerous benefits, enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of your solar energy system. At Shine Solar, we understand the importance of maximizing the benefits of solar energy, and incorporating a battery storage solution offers several advantages:

Energy Independence: With a battery, you can store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it during periods of low sunlight or at night. This reduces your reliance on the grid and gives you greater control over your energy usage, promoting energy independence.

Increased Self-Consumption: By storing surplus solar energy in a battery, you can maximize self-consumption within your property. Rather than exporting excess energy back to the grid, you can utilize it directly, leading to greater savings on your electricity bills.

Power Backup: During power outages or grid failures, a battery system allows you to continue using electricity stored in your battery. This provides peace of mind and ensures that critical appliances and systems, such as lighting, refrigeration, or medical equipment, remain operational.

Time-of-Use Optimization: In some regions, electricity tariffs vary based on the time of day. By using a battery, you can store solar energy when rates are low and consume it during peak tariff periods. This helps to further reduce your electricity costs.

Grid Support: Battery systems can play a vital role in supporting the wider energy grid. By charging your battery during periods of excess renewable energy supply, you can help balance the grid and contribute to a more stable and sustainable energy network.

At Shine Solar, we offer a range of high-quality battery storage solutions tailored to complement your solar panels. Our expert team can assist you in selecting the right battery system for your specific needs, ensuring you enjoy the maximum benefits of solar energy and energy storage technology.
