Why go solar?

• Using Solar PV to Protect Against Future Electricity Price Increases:
• Electricity prices have risen by approximately 7% every year in Peterborough for over a decade. The demand for electricity has also grown substantially over the past few years. The residential sector is largely responsible for this increase.
• Solar PV systems can be designed so that a household's electricity demand is wholly or partly met. This can eliminate or reduce your dependency on grid supplied electric.
• Once your Solar PV system is installed and paid for- the electricity it generates is produced at a constant cost.
• On an average system electricity is produced at approximately 18p/kWh.* Although this is slightly more expensive than the cost from the grid- this price is guaranteed for the life of your system.
• So in 30 years time electricity will still be costing you 18p/kWh.* If the current average price for electricity (13p/kWh) continues to increase at 7% a year, your green Solar PV electricity will be cheaper in less than 5 years time! That is assuming it ONLY increases by 7%- what will happen if it rises at a faster rate? Either way you will save moneywith your Solar PV in Cambridgeshire.
• At the minute you can get a better rate of return by investing your savings into a Solar PV system rather than putting it in a bank account or an ISA.
• The best ISA available at the end of April 2009 was the Barclays ISA which provided a 3.83% rate.
• The return rate on your solar PV installation will potentially increase yearly if the price of electricity rises.

Why use Hereward Solar Solutions?

Danny Letts, Director of Hereward Electrical was personally interested in the benefits of renewable energy and the embarrassing 1.3% of all electricity generated in the UK. He installed his first Solar PV Installation back in 2009 on his family home to see what benefits there were and how effective this was. It was obvious that once the panels were fixed to the roof there was very little to do - just let the installation produce carbon free electric.
After closely monitoring the electricity produced it was obvious that this needed to be installed on every suitable roof after all enough sun hits the Earths surface in an hour is enough to power the World for a Year.
After installing various Solar installations to current Hereward Electrical customers, he decided to set up Hereward Solar Solutions in 2009. Providing his knowledge to Domestic and Commercial customers alike, across Peterborough, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire and Norfolk the company keeps progressing as more people are becoming interested in renewable energy.

We pride ourselves on showing customers the facts with absolutely no pushy sales technique.

We do not pay staff commission to take orders each month. We prefer to focus on quality rather than quantity and this unique strategy helped us become the largest and longest serving Solar Company in Peterborough.

Air to Air Heat Pump

As we did back in 2009 we installed our first Solar PV Installation on our own house to see for ourselves the benefits solar had to offer, we have now installed a unique Air to air source heat Pump and have been thoroughly impressed with this.  This really is a fantastic product and is complimented by the installation of Solar Photovoltaics.  This heat pump has no external condenser unit as its all inbuilt to the internal unit so no unsightly pipe work in or outside. 

Being able to heat a room to 30 Degrees to cooling it to 18 Degrees from a touch of the remote control compliments this unit for all applications in the home or office.

For every 1 unit of electric this requires it gives off 3.5kw of heating or better still cooling. Essentially meaning this unit is 350% efficient.

We can supply, fully install and commission this heat pump for you at your property (subject to survey).

Please contact us for a brochure or if you simply have any further questions on this.
