Installing a wide range of solar panels

As fully-qualified and professional solar panel installers in Kent, we install a wide range of solar panels.

Having said that, we only ever work with the best panels suited for the installation. Before we install your panels, our specialist performs a site survey to determine the perfect course of action.

Fitting solar panels to different types of roof

It’s a common misconception that only very few properties have roofs suitable for solar panels. In fact, solar panels are suitable for most types of roof, providing there is sufficient space to fit them.

Our specialist team will ensure that they are fitted at the optimal angle for the longest possible exposure to the sun. Depending on the position of your property, we can install them pitched, flat, double pitched, and even floor mounted.

Aside from the positioning of the panels themselves, there are two inverter types that can be used to make the most of the sun you get:

- Basic inverter — for all roofs with solar panels in the same direction and with no shading
- Optimisers — for multi-angled roofs, with solar panels in different directions and shading

Why install solar panels?

Energy Saving Trust estimates that a typical home with solar panels could save roughly one tonne of carbon a year.

There are many other benefits to installing solar panels — let’s take a look at just a few!

Cheaper energy bills

When you go solar, your electricity bill will either be cheaper or non-existent, depending on the extent of your setup and your usage. What you don’t use can then be sold back to the grid — if you’re not storing it up in batteries, that is. It also protects you against more expensive energy bills in the future.

Return on investment

Solar panels can have an incredibly good lifespan, lasting more than 25 years. So you’ll be able to make the most of a renewable energy source for many years to come!

Independent energy use

If you go fully off-grid with your electricity with your solar panels, you no longer depend on any one company to supply your heating, lighting, cooling, and more. As fossil fuels become increasingly expensive, less desirable, and, frankly, less available, going solar ensures you stay ahead of the game.

Solar battery storage solutions

One of the biggest advantages of solar power is one that’s often overlooked — the energy generated can be stored in batteries. This means that you’ll always have reliable power, even when the sun goes down.

It's also important to keep in mind that solar power doesn't need sunny days to work; in fact, too much heat can reduce the efficiency of solar panels. They just need bright enough light — so, yes, solar panel installation in Kent yields plenty of energy!

They can work perfectly well in winter and even on cloudy days. What's more, the ups and downs of generation can be smoothed out using an appropriately sized battery bank to store power for the dimmer days.

The size and type of battery bank you need will depend entirely on the amount of electricity you hope to generate and store. We can advise depending on your exact needs.

Heat your water with Solar

Another amazing benefit of solar power is the ability to heat your water! Now, you likely won’t be able to make use of “water solar panels” like those used in hotter countries like Greece & Italy, but you can use the electricity generated by your panels to power things like immersion heaters.

Immersion heater tanks are great if you have the space, but small properties can even make use of electric combi boilers these days! If you’ve got the space for enough panels and battery storage, you can theoretically have unlimited, free, clean central heating & hot water. Available boilers are still on the lower-power end, topping out at around 15kW, but we expect this to change in the near future with a broader move away from gas power.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend AQUAHEAT and all of their engineers. I’ve been using them for many years and have always been really impressed, which is why I continue to come back to them. The workmanship is consistently first class, but what really stands out is their exceptional customer service that they have maintained as the company has grown. From the first call to make an appointment, everyone is friendly, professional and helpful. The engineers are always considerate and take great care in my home, which I really appreciate. They also have excellent systems in place, with prompt quotes, invoices and guarantees, reminders when your annual service is due, and clear, professional advice if any further work is needed. A particular thank you to Brad for his recent work. As always, he was friendly, professional and took great care, and the work was carried out to a really high standard. A great company that genuinely cares about its customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend AQUAHEAT

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just had our family bathroom gutted and replaced in Ashford. From start to finish AquaHeat were amazing! They arranged everything from start to finish. We just had to go and pick out bathroom suite and the flooring. Dan the bathroom fitter was amazing he explained everything he was doing so we understood what was going on and when! He was very careful with our property whilst he was carrying out the fit, carrying things up the stairs etc! Always prompt and on time! He also done a great job tidying up after himself each day! The flooring was a quick fit, we had a little issue but it was resolved ASAP by the team at AquaHeat! The decorator was amazing, professional and tidied up after himself!! We are so happy with the new bathroom and want to say a big thanks to team AquaHeat!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot recommend AquaHeat highly enough for servicing Air conditioning units. We have had our air con units for 5 or so years now and have always used the company that installed them to do the yearly service. However, we needed a company that was more local to take the servicing over due to time restraints. From the outset, our emails and questions were all answered swiftly by Beckie, and everything was explained clearly. On the day, the engineer, Brad, arrived 10 minutes early and was knowledgeable, polite and professional. The servicing and deep clean were done efficiently, and everything was left immaculate. As a busy chiropractic clinic in Ashford,  we needed a company that could work around our time constraints, and the team at AquaHeat certainly made it very easy for us.
