Summer Solar Savings

The holy trinity that will help slash your bills – solar, storage and airsource heating solutions.

GreenGenUK brings a polished blend of solar photovoltaic panels, battery storage and airsource heating to homes across Cornwall and Devon, offering remarkable summer savings. Since 2011, this MCScertified installer has earned plaudits through rigorous standards, award-winning projects and glowing customer reports, reassuring homeowners that professionalism and quality lie at the heart of every engagement.

The company’s focus during the sunnier months is clear: harness high output from summer solar PV systems and store surplus energy in batteries, allowing households to reduce grid dependence long after the sun sets. Tailored installations – often combining a 6 kW array with 9-10 kWh storage – ensure that clean energy flows into homes during peak demand, lowering bills and locking in long-term value.

GreenGenUK’s airsource heat pumps operate alongside this system to deliver heating with efficiency ratings exceeding 300 %, offering significant year-round savings. Those installations take advantage of up to £7,500 in government incentives via the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, making a compelling financial case alongside environmental benefits.

GreenGenUK’s approach is a consultative one. Customers receive a free site visit and in-depth home survey, during which heatloss calculations and bespoke energy plans are developed. From then on, guidance continues throughout system design and installation under expert supervision, shaping a service that feels reassuring, not pushy. Reviews on Trustpilot and Google regularly describe the team as “professional, reliable and knowledgeable”, reinforcing the
company’s reputation.

One recent project near Exeter typifies this rounded strategy: a 6 kW Mitsubishi airsource heat pump paired with a 12-panel PV array and 9.5 kWh battery is forecast to generate 4,700 kWh of solar energy annually, offsetting around 90 % of on-site use and saving hundreds of pounds each year. Over 25 years, this installation is expected to cut emissions by over 20 tonnes of CO² and reduce annual energy costs by more than £500.

For anyone keen to redress rising energy costs and exert more control over household bills, GreenGenUK offers a clear pathway. Its skilled team in Helston and Exeter delivers renewable energy technology anchored in reliable workmanship, certified standards and genuine customer care.
