Dependent upon location and orientation, any of the following could be feasible and will need detailed evaluation with our specialist team:






Solar thermal panels: Providing domestic hot water and linked to under-floor heating system. This has a short payback and is a must for many installations, working really well with our super insulated shell construction.
PV (photovoltaics): Still quite costly but proven energy provider with little or no maintenance, providing a proven renewable electricity source.
PVT: Combines both of the above and is more efficient as a result. Works best when applied with an underground heat store, this can provide all of your home's energy needs.
GSHP (ground source heat pump): Low heat system that works well with under-floor system but not radiators. Air source systems are also available. The electrical needs of the pump can work well in tandem with solar and/or PV systems.
Wind Turbines and Hydro: Very site specific, subject to planning constraints but can provide a more site and location driven option if you are lucky to have the space and planning potential.
