Client Overview
Phil Creed is the owner of a sustainably built timber-frame home in the South West of England. With a strong personal commitment to reducing his carbon footprint, Phil was looking for a renewable energy solution that aligned with the eco-conscious design of his property.
The home's natural timber structure and rural setting required a solar system that was both high-performing and visually sympathetic. Solar Energy Systems designed and installed a bespoke domestic solar PV system that seamlessly complemented the home’s character, delivering reliable long-term energy savings and measurable environmental benefits.
-
Custom-designed solar PV system
In-roof panel integration to preserve architectural character
High-efficiency inverter and system monitoring
Long-term warranty and performance support
-
The home’s rural setting and natural timber aesthetic meant that traditional surface-mounted solar panels could visually conflict with the overall architectural integrity. Phil also wanted a system that would make a meaningful contribution to his net-zero goals without sacrificing reliability.
-
We specified and installed a flush-mounted solar PV system with a low-profile finish that aligned with the roof structure. The in-roof mounting system ensured minimal visual impact while maintaining full performance output. Components were selected for reliability, and integrated monitoring gives Phil real-time performance data.
-
Seamless visual integration with the timber-frame roof
Significant reductions in annual electricity bills
Increased property value through green infrastructure
System performance exceeding expected yield
-
Dramatically reduced reliance on fossil fuels
Enhanced lifetime energy efficiency of the property
Contribution to local and personal carbon reduction targets
Aligned perfectly with the values embedded in the home’s original design
“I have been using Electrical Solutions ever since Dave started up his company 16 years ago. I have used him both personally, in business for Creed Food service and Brickhampton Court Golf Complex.
He is both responsive and fairly priced, even in today's spiralling material cost increases. I have recently moved house and had no hesitation in using Dave and his excellent team for all my electrical work, and when I found out he now also installs solar panel and battery storage systems I did not hesitate to ask him to install one for me. He was not only cheaper but installed it two months earlier than his competition, which meant I could start saving on my energy costs sooner. Luke did a great job in completing the job ahead of schedule, and as always carried out the work in a neat and very tidy way.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Dave and his team to anyone thinking of installing a solar system, or for general electrical work.”
