Sunbright Energy provided a very professional service from start to finish. They advised us on the setup we would need and appropriate costs and then delivered as promised. Other suppliers we approached didn't even bother to respond. Any queries were answered quickly and everything explained clearly by Oliver. Happy to recommend this company. More...

I am delighted to give a 5 star rating to this great company. Such a smooth process from initial contact to completion, and all done in just a few weeks. I was able to review and discuss the proposal to get the system that suited us best; no hassle, no pushy salesman or broken promises. Excellent quality components used throughout and impressively efficient installation. System working very well and all paperwork sent the following day. I had various quotes prior to this but so pleased I chose Sunbright Energy and would thoroughly recommend. More...

I’ve done a lot of research on the installation of Solar PV and storage batteries this past 12 months. The increases in costs prompted me to reach out to a number of Solar suppliers both locally and nationally.
Oliver at Sunbright provided the quickest response and a quote within 24hrs of having a call with him. He even popped over to check out exactly what I wanted to achieve, the location and answered the many questions I had.
I then received a revised quote and there was no pressure sell unlike others.
I was a little concerned that Oliver is a smaller business and establishing himself. It’s a large investment and I wanted some assurance about the quality of the installation, the warranties being offered and aftercare.
I looked at many reviews from all of those I had contacted for quotes. Sunbright by far topped out the rest in terms of service and that was my experience. Not the cheapest but also not the most expensive.
We decided to proceed and installation happened within 2 weeks - others quoting months! Within 1 day of installation we realised the system was going to produce a lot of energy and therefore we had another battery installed. This was no issue for Oliver to sort out and it was installed and operational within 2 days.
Since then I’ve been transfixed monitoring the system generation and consumption stats. We’ve had 5 days now where we have been completely off grid and two of those days were relatively cloudy. I’ve even charged my EV on a 75%/25% Solar/Grid split. We have been running the washer, dishwasher and 4 installed AC units, with two of those overnight during the hot weather, and our Grid import has been very small if needed at all.
I got a warning message pop up last week and Oliver quickly contacted me to tell me not to worry… a message to tell me the batteries were fully charged!
We are still exporting to the grid sometimes in excess if 10kWh a day and that’s with stuff running and the batteries fully charged. So we are going to move to an Agile Export tariff whilst we see the system settle down and we will decide if we get another battery to capture the surplus. But very happy right now!
So a big thumbs up to Oliver and his team.
Well done chaps

Sunbright have just installed a battery back up and new inverter for our existing panels. The finished job is excellent. The whole installation went very well from start to finish. Oliver was very responsive to my queries both initially and during installation. They had an available time at short notice for installation so it all took place in exceptionally good time. They had also previously carried out repairs on our panels , installed by another firm, to the anti bird netting which had come away. We decided to use Sunbright as a result of a recommendation by a friend and have no hesitation in recommending them to others. More...

Having previously considered Solar panels following purchase of an electric vehicle a neighbour recommended Sunbright
I was impressed by the straightforward installation method he had on his flat roof
After a call to Oliver the process was handled efficiently & we now have 10 panels installed on our loft roof
I would be happy to recommend Sunbright to any potential customers.

After searching high and low for a company to install solar panels in our Bexleyheath home, I discovered Sunbright. Not only did Ollie get back in touch with me, he did it straight away and was utterly professional.
There was no upselling, just straight forward costs for exactly what we needed.
The installation was ridiculously quick and headed up by Matt, who stayed behind to finish off installing the hub and battery. He took me through everything. He even came back to check something that was completely unrelated to the solar panel installation just to make sure we were still okay. You don't get that with most companies.
I can HIGHLY recommend.

Having considered solar panels for sometime and with the recent energy price hikes I thought it was time to take action and have solar panels installed.
I contacted Oliver at Sunbright energy to express my interest and found him very knowledgeable and efficient in putting a package together that suit the needs of my home and family.
The installation was 1st class from start to finish with the fitters being friendly polite and efficient. All questions about the fitting were answered professionally.
I would not hesitate to recommend Oliver and his team at Sunbright energy for Solar installation.

What can i say about this company. I had the privilege of working with the director general himself Mr Oliver. From the time i had my 3KW solar edge Solar Panels with optimisers fitted by them Oliver was on the ball so to speak. He was diligent and supportive even when under heavy workload constraints. He was keen to always offer me the best price plans and workout at the best of times the most cost effective solution and advise me on technical matters and the economical approaches to adopt to ensure the best cost effective solution and energy gain and best utilisation of my solar panels. Oliver has come to the rescue at even very short notice a true pioneer who will not fail to orchestrate a dynamic plan catered specifically for you and will ensure you get the most of your solar energy and was also able to provide useful support aids and research tools to assist in getting the best out of my solar usage. I will not hesitate to recommend this company as they will work with you not just when your installation ends but right through the usage of your solar panel, so you do not feel left out in the dark as Sunbright Energy Ltd is only a phone call or text away.

Jay Boreham
We called a number of solar suppliers last October regarding a new system installation for our home. We chose Sunbright as they were very prompt at coming back to us, professional, quoted in line with expectations and were also
local which gave us the piece of mind that they could easily come back and fix any snags. From ordering to installation the wait was only a matter of a couple of
weeks and within the first day our system was up and running and powering our house. The installation looks great (we were worried about aesthetics) thanks to the panels that they chose / provided and we are super happy. Through the winter we are getting about 1/5 of our electricity needs (we have an electric car which makes our needs quite high) but without the car I would guess we would get about 1/3 of what we need. In the summer we expect to almost be bill free.
Above all Oliver and his team were super prompt, polite and professional at every step of the way and I would highly recommend them.

I spoke to a number of companies but ultimately chose Sunbright as Oliver was able to tailor a solution to the requirements of my house, family energy usage, and UK climate.
The solution was cost effective and insalled within one month from receiving the proposal.
As soon as installation was completed, and even in the grey skies of Janurary, all of our energy has been provided by the panels and batteries with near to nothing coming from the grid.
Further to the savings on our electric bills, we have opted to have excess energy routed to an immersion heater in our hot water tank thus reducing our gas usage.
As a technical person myself, Olivers knowledge really impressed me. His team carried out a great job, installation looks very neat, and all packaging removed from site.

BIRD GUARD SYSTEMS
Solar panels provide the ideal nesting habitat for nesting pigeons. The panels protect them from the weather and provide a vantage point to survey their surroundings. We can help you by installing pigeon guards for solar panels and other solar panel pigeon protection.
BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEMS
Energy storage is becoming increasingly efficient. With solar batteries becoming more popular, energy your system produced during the day can be stored for use at night or on cloudy days when less power is produced. This is a good way to ensure your home is even more energy efficient and you get the best out of your panels.
SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS
Solar energy is one of the biggest and most effective kinds of renewable energy in the world. We harvest the natural power of the sun to create electricity to heat and light homes and businesses. Your system can either produce electricity or heat your water whilst reducing the amount of carbon dioxide you produce.
It is a common misconception that the sun must be directly shining on a solar panel for it to work efficiently, as this is not true. They can still produce electricity even on dull days, but they will work far more efficiently on sunny days in the summer than winter as the sun is higher in the sky. The best panels can have an efficiency of around 22%. This is very high efficiency as most are around 15%.
The Benefits of Solar Panels
There are many benefits to generating solar electricity, here are few:
It’s green:
There are no pollutants produced while solar panels operate, so by using them you are using clean energy to power your home or business, reducing your carbon footprint.
Save on cash:
Any electricity you produce is totally free of charge and you can use it to power anything within your home or business for free. This will of course lower your energy bills and save you cash in the long term. You will also be able to make money from the Smart Export Guarantee which replaces FIT, meaning a quicker return on investment.
No planning permission:
Installing solar panels doesn’t require special permission. There are some rules that need to be followed but mostly it’s simple.
Its renewable:
The sun won’t be running out any time soon and they even work on cloudy days, so you should have plenty of free electricity all year round. Add a battery storage device to save your electricity produced and use it for the evening too. It will cut your carbon footprint as a bonus too.
Efficient all year:
They can produce energy all year, not just when the sun shines most.
HOT WATER SYSTEMS
What are the benefits of thermodynamic panels?
Systems will provide 100% of your hot water needs.
They work day and night.
Systems can operate in temperatures as low as -15°C.
You'll get continuous hot water on tap 24/7 365 days a year.
You can save up to 70% on your annual energy bills.
Panels can be mounted on your roof or vertically onto a wall
They’ll help to lower you household’s carbon emissions
There’s very little maintenance required
Installations are simple and straightforward
The technology has a COP rating of 3 to 6
INVERTER REPLACEMENTS
The lifetime of inverters in household installations is about 10 years. On average, during the lifetime of solar panels, the inverter should be replaced once. The life expectancy of an inverter depends on its environment. For example, a high temperature has an adverse effect on lifetime.
SOLAR EDGE UPGRADES
SolarEdge enables more energy generation from each solar panel by mitigating power losses that result from mismatch between panels.
Weaker panels do not affect the performance of strong ones.
The SolarEdge system is future proofed against potential risks that could cause decrease lifetime energy production.
SOLAR PANEL CLEANING
Solar panel cleaning is an absolute must if you want to get the best possible performance out of your panels. Most commonly, the solar cells in a panel will be covered by a glass coating for protective purposes. The dirtier this coating becomes, the less efficient the solar panel will be.
A decline in efficiency in your solar panel could be caused by several factors. If the surface of the panels is obstructed by pollution, the dust from traffic, or even bird droppings, this could result in an efficiency decline, due to light being prevented from reaching the cells. While there are many factors that could affect the amount of electricity your solar panels will produce, dirty solar panels can be one of the biggest, as well as the easiest to fix. It’s always good to regularly inspect your solar panels as well, which can help prevent the issues from arising in the first place.

VOLTAGE OPTIMIZERS
People often forget that voltage regulators are an essential part of any solar charging kit. A solar panel is able to produce a wide range of charging voltages, depending on the intensity of the sunlight. As a result of this, a voltage regulator must be included in the charging circuit so that it does not overcharge at any point, especially when it comes to devices like 12V car batteries.
CAR EV CHARGE POINTS
Car EV Chargers are the future of planet. We have installed hundreds of chargers across the UK.
A solar EV charger works by allowing you to use excess solar to power up your car. Generating solar energy requires solar panels (PV) to be fitted to your home or place of work, but the energy generated through the solar panels is totally free, essentially giving you free miles!
Light energy produced by the sun is called a photon. It is the most basic, fundamental particle of all light. It is these photons in natural daylight that are converted by solar panel cells to produce electricity. This small bundle of electromagnetic energy is constantly in motion. Simply put, a solar panel works by allowing photons, or particles of light, to bounce into electrons setting them free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity.
