We are a Microgeneration cerfitication scheme registered independent solar installation and repair company based in St Albans. We offer a friendly, professional installation service without the usual hefty mark-ups and pressure sales. We believe this technology is part of the future of domestic energy and wish to share our enthusiasm.
We have been interviewed by The Guardian newspaper in relation to the Green Homes Grant Scheme. The article is titled "Government plans to turn England homes green 'in chaos' with debt and job losses" and you can read the full article on The Guardian website. The Daily Mail+filmed an interview with Giles in relation to the issues installers are facing with the Green Homes Grant.

Services
The Small Solar Company Ltd (Trustmark licence: 1912323) is taking part in the Government's Green Homes Grant Scheme. Home owners and landlords can receive a grant of up to 5000 or 10000 to help cover the cost of installing a solar thermal system. You may be eligible for the Green Homes Grant scheme up to 10,000 or for the Renewable Heat Incentive which currently pays 21.09 pence / KW/hr, approximately 1200 - 3000 back over the next 7 years.
At this point, we understand that existing applications will be processed and vouchers already issued remain valid and work can be completed. The Green Homes Grant scheme allows home owners and landlords to apply for a voucher for up to 2/3rd of the cost of a solar thermal installation. The maximum value of a voucher is 5000.
Our solar thermal panels consist of evacuated tube collectors (flat plate panels can also be installed). These are attached to a southerly facing roof. Water and a special antifreeze mixture is the pumped through the panel, where it gets heated by the sun. The heat is then transferred by a high efficiency coil in a specialist solar cylinder heating the water (the boiler can be used to top up the water temperature if required).
Unless you already have a twin coil cylinder, we will most likely replace your hot water cylinder with a high efficiency twin coil cylinder. The solar panel will transfer the heat to the bottom of the cylinder. When required, your boiler will top up the heat in the solar cylinder, therefore ensuring that there is always enough hot water.
A typical system costs from * for a 2-3 person household if a suitable cylinder is already in place. This can vary substantially, depending how you currently heat your water and how much you use and how much sunshine there is in a given year. We would be happy to look at you case in detail. A solar water heating system is one of few home improvements that may not only add value to a property, but also save you money over the years.
