Current Generation Basingstoke Solar PV Installers

Current Generation specialises in the design and installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. These are often referred to as solar panels or solar energy systems. Since the introduction of the feed in tariff in April 2010, PV has become an economically viable investment. Solar PV is also one of the key technologies in reducing the UK's Carbon Footprint. Every Solar PV system installed will prevent tonnes of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. Take a look at our photo gallery to see some example of recent solar PV installations.

Current Generation is an MCS certfied designer and installer of Solar PV systems for the domestic, commercial and agricultural sector, offering a turnkey solution to clients, whether it be retro-fit or new build. The MCS is an internationally recognised quality assurance scheme which demonstrates our commitment to meeting rigorous and tested standards. If you are building a new home or developing a site Solar PV is often the simplest way to hit the rigourous new energy effciency targets for new build properties.

Solar PV systems sometimes require planning permission. Those retro-fitted to pitched roofs of residential properties are often permitted development, which means you do not need planning permission. In some areas of the country such as designated areas, permitted development rights are more restricted. For more information on planning permission for solar pv panels visit the Planning Portal. If you are unsure about your situation with regards to planning, we would be happy to advise you. Current Generation can provide a full comprehensive planning service from as little as 300 + VAT and fees.

Are you trying to meet energy efficiency requirements for building regs? Its a common problem for builders and designers to be suprised at the level off energy efficiency that is required to pass regs using standard building techniques. This is due to the rigourous SAP calculations that are part of every build. Even a small number of solar panels can make all the difference whereas extra insulation can end up significantly changing the design of the building.
