Elementary Solar recommends leading brands with superior performance
Top Performers
We know that no two installations are exactly the same, so we constantly review the systems from leading manufacturers to ensure we accurately quote the best solution for your individual needs.
The Elementary Solar Team always recommend equipment with the longest warranties, highest performance and easy home management as enjoyed by our customers in real-world testing.
As with everything you get what you pay for. Rather than compete solely on price in a race to the bottom on quality and labour conditions, we always recommend products which put true green credentials and best labour practices first.
A solid all rounder - affordable and reliable
Eurener, established in 1997, is among the longest-standing manufacturers of solar panels in Europe. They are dedicated to advancing solar energy worldwide and delivering accredited premium panels. This is one of the numerous reasons the Elementary Solar team like installing their products. With a quarter-century of expertise, Eurener has gained international acclaim and has been awarded the TOP PV brand distinction for the UK, France, Belgium and Sweden by EUPD Research for the third consecutive year. This Spanish company provides a diverse selection of high-performance full black solar panels with various power outputs available
What we love about GivEnergy...
In an industry dominated by Chinese designs and manufacturing, it's understandable to want to ensure your products quality and reliability for years to come. GivEnergy are a British owned Inverter, Battery Storage and EV Charger manufacturer with manufacturing/research and development facilities in the UK, Ireland, Australia and Shenzhen China. Their award-winning designs, long warranty, excellent energy monitoring system and UK based customer support make it a stand out option for most UK homes and businesses. The Elementary Solar directors even have GivEnergy products in their homes. So it must be good!
Leading photovoltaics into a new era
The vast majority of solar panels produced worldwide today are based on technologies developed by Meyer Burger. Designed in Switzerland and manufactured 100% in Germany, Meyer Burger offers 30-year product warranties and superior performance in low light. Additionally, you will receive stable performance for decades, guaranteed at over 93% @ 30 years for glass-glass designs! Produced from 100% renewable energy sources and with local raw materials to minimise their carbon footprint. Every Meyer Burger module covers its carbon footprint from production within the first year.
This is Elementary Solar's #1 choice for quality and green credentials
What gives SolarEdge, well, an edge!
SolarEdge are one of the best established global brands and with a very sophisticated product offering. Every solar panel (module) to go on your roof will have a smart optimiser which can take the panel out of the circuit when shaded, maximising the rest of your array. Their advanced battery management systems can be setup to provide your home or business with backup power in the event of a grid outage or to provide standalone battery power during peak grid prices. They also supply EV chargers and Power Diverters meaning SolarEdge can provide a total solution. This is a premium product which Elementary Solar recommends particularly to properties which have more than mild shading or more complicated energy usage requirements
High Quality, User Focused Products
MyEnergi are a UK company who offer homeowners the best solution to charge an EV from their solar system. There are three modes, including solar only (free charging), solar boosted by grid for when you need it ready faster and grid charging only. They have developed a very sleek user interface with the ability to control power flow to car, battery, hot water or grid. Oh yeah, did we forget to mention, MyEnergi also have beautifully designed and expandable home battery systems, power diverters for hot water and wireless connectivity. If you value sleek tidy design and would prefer a premium solution with brilliant user experience, the MyEnergi range is worth close attention
Turn excess solar into free hot water!
Although the Marlec Solar iBoost + is an added investment cost in your system, (after the initial payback period) it will create free hot water for your home. It works by directing excess solar, which would otherwise go back to the grid, into hot water for your home instead. The technology is low maintenance too, meaning it should be reliable for many years to come. We love that the Solar iBoost will lower your gas bill by reducing the amount of water to be heated each day. Some customers even find they can turn off their boiler completely during the summer months!
Note: This accessory requires your hot water system to have a storage
tank. It is not compatible with combi boiler systems
Revolutionary energy tariffs and export rates
Energy supply just got exciting! Octopus Energy have been leading the way in designing modern flexible energy tariffs to better suit consumers needs. Today you can choose from a range of options including fixed low-price night rates (perfect for charging your EV or home battery), to their fully Agile tariff which buys and sells energy at near wholesale prices. These are too hard to present as part of the Elementary Solar package calculations because of their flexible nature and the accuracy expected when quoting, but we can say that a tariff like Octopus offers, can dramatically reduce the payback of a battery system. This is especially true of a smart system like GivEnergy, SolarEdge and MyEnergi offer
