Our EV Charger & Solar System Installation Services

If you’re looking for more ways to contribute to the sustainability of the planet while also cutting back on your overall costs, investing in solar energy is a great first step. Installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is a great investment,
helping users reduce their dependence on the national grid. 

Taking part in green energy initiatives, like driving an electric car or having alternative power sources like solar battery storage, has become increasingly popular. AJ Renewables aims to facilitate this transition by making renewable energy solutions more accessible and affordable. 

We offer the following services in Glasgow:  

EV Charger Installation

Choosing an EV home charger installation can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and bring you great benefits. There’s also the added advantage of being able to charge your vehicle from the comfort of your own driveway instead of searching for charging stations. 

Electric car owners or those considering investing in one can charge their cars for free from home using solar power. 

Additionally, business owners may consider the advantages of adding EV charging points to their premises. Not only is this a great perk for employees, but businesses can use your EV charging station as a way to bring in more capital or customers by making chargers available to electric vehicle owners. 

AJ Renewables can handle EV charger installation for Glasgow homes and businesses. Reach out for more information on how EV chargers can benefit you.

Solar Panels in Glasgow

Solar panels are a good starting point for embracing a greener future and reducing your carbon footprint. PV solar panels use photons in the sun’s energy to generate electricity for domestic use. The sunlight helps solar panels produce electricity during the day that you can use to power your household appliances. 

Contrary to popular belief, solar panels don’t necessarily require direct sunlight all the time to produce electricity. Advancements in solar technology allow your solar panels to harvest as much sunlight as there is available, even in overcast weather conditions. 

We stock high-quality products from market-leading solar panel manufacturers such as JA Solar and Canadian Solar — bringing you only the best options for your solar panel installation.  

Solar Battery Storage Setup

If you already have solar panels installed and want to get the most out of your solar system, adding solar battery storage is an excellent next step. With battery storage solutions, you don’t have to feed surplus electricity to the national grid. Instead, you can store it in a battery for nighttime use. 

As expert solar technicians, we supply top-quality battery storage products and handle the setup and configuration of your battery to your existing solar panel system. We can help advise you on the best choice for your specific requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do solar panels work?

When sunlight shines onto a solar PV panel, the energy is absorbed by the PV (photovoltaic) cells. The absorbed energy then creates electrical charges that respond to the internal electrical field within the solar PV panels. This response causes electricity to flow in the form of direct current (DC). Inverters then convert DC into alternating current (AC) to power your appliances.

What are the pros and cons of solar panel installations?

Solar panels may not provide equal benefits for every household. Here is a list of some pros and cons to consider before you choose to install solar panels or additional solar products. 

Benefits of installing solar panels 

  • Clean energy generation: Minimise the use of electricity produced by fossil fuels that release harmful pollutants into the environment when burned. 

  • Save on energy costs: Save a considerable amount on electricity costs by reducing your reliance on grid electricity and generating your own. 

  • Increased property value: Reduced energy costs are essential to potential homeowners. Having solar energy infrastructure installed on your property increases its resale value. 

  • Low maintenance: Solar panels need very little maintenance. The solar panels need to be kept debris-free and only require annual inspections. 

  • Good return on investment: Installing solar PV panels can bring significant long-term rewards. Not only do you save on electricity costs, but you can sell excess electricity to the grid.  

Disadvantages of installing solar panels 

  • Initial installation can be pricey: The initial costs for solar panel installation require a significant investment, which may not be affordable for every homeowner. At AJ Renewables, we try to make it more accessible by offering finance solutions.

  • Available roof space determines the size of your solar PV system: Certain residential areas have restricted space for solar panel arrays and the required wiring — limiting the size of your system and restricting potential energy production.  

  • Limited disposal or recycling solutions: Solar PV panels need to be disposed of correctly. The best solution is to chat with local solar panel installers who can advise on the best way to discard broken or old solar panels. 

We’ve given you a lot to think about before opting for solar panels in Glasgow. Reach out to AJ Renewables for expert advice from our experienced solar PV installers on the best solution for your needs. 

Are there grants available for energy improvements in Scotland?

Yes. Homeowners can apply for grants or loans from the Scottish Government to help facilitate the switch to a renewable electricity supply and make energy efficiency improvements. Property managers can apply for financial assistance to supplement the cost of EV charger installation from the Energy Saving Trust managed by Home Energy Scotland. 

Alternatively, you can apply to the Warmer Homes Scotland scheme if you’re looking to reduce your energy usage for home and water heating systems. 

Do we need permission to connect a solar PV system to the national grid?

It depends. Usually, your solar panel installer registers your solar panels with your District Network Operator (DNO). You don’t typically need permission from your DNO to install solar panels if the inverter has an output of 3.68kW or below. However, for larger systems with outputs higher than 3.68kW, the DNO needs to give the go-ahead before the solar panel installation in Glasgow homes can take place. We’ll take your equipment into account and advise if this is necessary to ensure compliance with local regulations.

How much space do I need inside my house for a solar system?

Solar systems typically don’t require much space inside your home, and the internal components (an inverter or battery) can usually be installed in a garage or attic. They need to be close to where your solar panels are installed for easy connection. 

Speak to our professional solar PV equipment suppliers for more accurate information. Alternatively, you can opt for our free design and virtual site assessment to see how the system will look once installed and if you have enough space for each component. 

Will my solar panels in Glasgow work during a power outage?

Solar panels will only work during a power outage if they’re not grid-tied. For instance, if you have backup solar battery storage, then you’ll still have stored energy to draw on during this period. For a system without a connected battery, the power supply will be cut off to prevent excess electricity from feeding back into the grid and posing a safety risk to utility workers.

How many solar panels will I need?

This depends on various factors, including the size of your home, how many people live there, and your energy consumption habits.

What happens to the excess solar energy produced by my panels?

If you, by chance, generate too much energy that caters to your energy consumption patterns and still leaves some left over, you can make money by selling that excess solar energy to the grid. Alternatively, the surplus solar energy can be fed back into the grid, and homeowners may receive credits from a utility company in exchange for the solar power.
