Renewable Energy Services

Current Direction has years of experience in commercial solar PV for UK businesses, from blue-chip companies to SMEs. We offer a full-service solution, from design to installation and maintenance, guiding you through the transition to this popular and high-return sustainable solution.

As solar PV experts, we provide industry-leading advice and award-winning service and show you how much your business could save. Investing in commercial solar panels gives you financial and environmental benefits.

Once a niche market, solar energy is now mainstream and cost-competitive, often less than one-third the cost of grid electricity. A typical system will provide you with over 25 years of free power, up to 20% annual returns, and payback in approximately five years. Environmentally, solar reduces your carbon footprint. With rising wholesale energy prices, businesses are turning to solar panels, either on the roof or ground-mounted, to take control of their electricity supply.

Battery storage demand is soaring as we need to store surplus solar, and with the introduction of ‘Time of Use’ tariffs, which offer cheaper electricity at off-peak times. By charging your batteries during these lower-rate periods, you can utilise the stored energy throughout the day. Battery storage provides a layer of protection during power cuts, day or night.

Combining solar panels with battery storage creates an Electrical Energy Storage System (EESS), which we believe is the best of both worlds. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of both technologies, storing excess solar generation and charging or exporting energy strategically.

Depending on the size of the system and your energy demands, an EESS can reduce or even eliminate your reliance on the grid, provide complete protection during blackouts, and shield you against future electricity price increases. Going fully ‘off-grid’ becomes a reality, allowing you to be even more energy-independent and reduce your carbon footprint.

At Current Direction, we offer the design, supply, and installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging panels. Whether you already have an EV or plan to have one in the future, EV charging makes sense. You get to charge on your schedule and at a fraction of the cost of public charging, especially when using cheaper ‘Time of Use’ tariffs.

Many leading EV charger manufacturers are now integrating their chargers with EESS, creating a ‘smart green energy ecosystem.’ This means electricity generated by your solar panels can be fed directly into your EV, a complete and efficient green energy solution. Enjoy the convenience of private charging, the cost savings of public options, and the ability to power your vehicle with energy generated on-site.

Plus, as official Tesla Powerwall Approved Installers, we offer installations for £7,500, the latest technology with our local expertise and personal service.

Despite their robustness, solar panel systems can still experience issues due to environmental factors, cleanliness, and wildlife. Keeping your system healthy is key to optimal performance, and a well-maintained system can generate up to 30 per cent more energy than a neglected one. Monitoring your system allows you to track generation and see any faults.

At Current Direction, we provide comprehensive solar panel servicing, maintenance, and repair services. From replacing damaged panels to performing system reboots, our specialists can resolve any issue.

Our maintenance services include visual inspections, thorough cleaning of solar panels, and comprehensive electrical testing of panels, strings, inverters, isolators, and associated components.
