Thank you for visiting the Wind and Solar Shop. Our philosophy is to combine the best value for money products on the market with high quality standards of design, installation and aftercare service. This website seeks to provide you with information regarding solar hot water, solar photovoltaic, solar roof tiles and wind turbines along with all the different ancillaries required to make them function.

Solar Hot Water

It is our opinion that the market leaders for solar hot water are Apricus solar collectors. These solar collectors are one of very few to come with a ten year warranty, whereas most other solar collectors or solar hot water systems have a warranty of one to three years.

Solar Panels

The Wind and Solar Shop endorses the use of Kyocera solar photovoltaic panels, ie solar electric panels. Solar photovoltaic panels work very well in the UK enabling the user to enjoy the benefits of solar power, also available are solar trackers which enable solar panels to track the sun across the sky from morning until evening, gaining as much energy as possible. This website explains how and why solar panels work in both off grid and grid tied applications.

Wind Turbines

Wind energy generated by wind turbines is another excellent way of generating electricity in many parts of the UK. The Wind and Solar Shop recommends using Proven turbines for larger installations and Future Energy for smaller systems. There are various factors that dictate the best way of installing a wind turbine or wind generator, the sizes required and what outputs can really be expected from this renewable energy resource. Furthermore, wind turbines can be either grid tied or off grid wind energy systems and there are pros and cons associated with both.

Ancillaries

Solar hot water, solar photovoltaic and wind power systems all require a number of ancillaries. These include solar controllers, charge controllers, batteries and connectors. It is Wind and Solar Shop’s belief that, when coupled with the correct products, quality ancillaries will create some of the best solar hot water, solar energy or wind energy systems available today.

What Next?

You can contact the Wind and Solar Shop to discuss a system that you may have in mind. Supply only solar systems are available for those wishing to build their own. Alternatively, customers are able to commission the Wind and Solar Shop to conduct a site visit and survey whereby customers' needs can be assessed and a plan and schematics can be designed to suit your requirements.

We are based in Kent but we are willing to travel to your location. So whether you are seeking to explore renewable energy sources or run your house self-sufficiently, the Wind and Solar Shop can put together a package to meet all your needs.
