Having worked with PV solar power systems since the early nineties, Simon designed and installed his first grid connected energy system in 2003, before establishing Run by the Sun Ltd in 2007. We are a small, friendly, family run business based in Leicester who specialise in the design, installation and service of quality PV solar systems.
This knowledge runs through the company - after 7 years it's still the same team that assists Simon with every installation. This continuity also runs through to using long, reliable suppliers and premium products from well known brands, for whom we are also trusted to work as sub-contractors. From the very first point of contact, Run by the Sun Ltd prides itself in putting the customer first.

Services
Run by the Sun Ltd specialise in the design, install and service of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for homes, businesses, community groups and off-grid locations. With headquarters in Leicester, we work mainly in Leicestershire and the Midlands, although commercial contracts sometimes take us further afield.
The good news is that solar PV is a technology that is suitable for the vast majority of homes in the UK. An ideal property would have a large, south facing roof area with a pitch of between 30 to 45 degrees and little shading. In most cases, using the latest solar module and inverter products, Run By The Sun can still design a solar PV system that will work efficiently on your property.
PV Solar cells are made from layers of semi conducting material, usually silicon. When light shines on the cell it creates an electric field across the layers. The stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is produced. Groups of cells are mounted together in panels or modules that can be mounted on your roof.
Run by the Sun can help you turn your roof into an economic asset. As well as generating an income from the Feed in Tariff, installing a solar power system on your commercial premises permanently cuts your electricity costs, now and into the future. Electricity prices keep going up, so why not simply generate your own power and use your own electricity?
Community-led sustainable energy projects are on the increase across the UK. Local people coming together, through co-operative or other community ownership models can benefit from the positive social, environmental and economic impact that a well designed PV solar system can have on their community.
