Solar PV (photovoltaic) systems from Peter Cox provide truly renewable energy by converting the sun's light energy into electricity. This is then fed into your building's electrical circuits and used to power your TV, lights and microwaves. And, yes, they do work in the UK, as they rely on daylight rather than direct sun.

The great thing about PV systems is that, once they're installed, you can dramatically reduce your grid consumption and therefore your bills. Of course, your conscience will be clean, too - traditional methods of generating electricity produce lots of carbon and you'll be producing almost no carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases at all.

At Peter Cox, our highly trained surveyors and technicians can fit your solar PV panels quickly and easily. Once fitted, solar PV offers:

• Virtually no maintenance
• A 25-year warranty
• Highly attractive Feed-in Tariffs.

Peter Cox's solar thermal systems also use solar panels to generate heat. The difference is that the sunlight heats up a special solar fluid that's carried through your pipes to heat your water. Typically, you'll get all the hot water you need in summer and a helping hand in winter. We can design a system for you that gives you 70% of your hot water throughout the year, which can amount to a ¼ of your annual heating costs.

How does it work? Put very simply, Peter Cox's trained technicians install collector panels on your roof. The sunlight heats the fluid, which is then moved to your hot water tank. They're a highly environmentally friendly solution that produces very little CO2.
