Between the months of March and September (in the UK), solar panels provide an excellent way of supplementing or fulfilling your electrical power requirements (depending on your electricity usage)

Running your engine just to charge your batteries burns expensive fossil fuel, puts unnecessary wear and tear on the engine and can be anti-social. Why not harness the power of the sun?

We can also supply wiring diagrams of work completed by yourself or others, but we will need to be involved as the wiring is installed. Download an example diagram here (PDF).
