Turn your home into an energy saving asset with Solar PV Technology
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) provides extra on-site electricity, ensuring your regular connection to the power grid. Daylight powers your panels, offsetting grid electricity purchases, saving you money. Excess power automatically sold to the grid earns you credits, reducing your utility bill.
SunWorks extend the core product into an energy management solution and always provide an integrated energy monitoring which allows your to monitor your consumption and generation in real time. This not only gives you control but increases your energy awareness and drives changes in energy habits for maximum benefit.
Battery Storage and home automation devices such as smart hot water and Solar EV charging can be integrated to increase your onsite use of solar power and make your home more self-sufficient.

Benefits of Residential Solar
Solar as an Investment
At SunWorks, we view solar technology as an integral part of a holistic energy system, delivering value that goes beyond just financial returns. We see solar as a vital component of modern homes, contributing to Jersey's renewable energy and energy management.
For those focused on the bottom line, solar serves as a safeguard against rising grid electricity costs. If you anticipate significant price hikes, solar remains the most practical way to lock in a portion of your energy expenses today.
People often ask, "How much will it cost?" before our survey. The total installation expense depends on three key factors:
- Your electricity consumption, determining your offset needs.
- The available roof or ground space.
- Your budget.
Example. If you spend £10,000 over a number of years on grid supplied electricity you will never get that money back. However, if you spend £10,000 on solar pv equipment to supplement your electricity, that £10,000 will be slowly be returned to you and will continue to deliver a return long past break even.
Moreover, you will have generated around 100,000 units/kwh’s of your own electricity* and added value to your property!
* Based on a typical 4kw (10 panel) system’s first 20 years of output
For the average 3-bedroom house in 2023, a fully installed system typically starts at around £8,000. Keep in mind that additional costs may arise for safety measures like scaffolding or concurrent property work (roofing, painting, etc.).
The payback period varies based on system cost and how much of the generated electricity is consumed onsite or exported. It's up to you to optimise these factors, and SunWorks is here to provide guidance.
With solar, you're essentially acquiring an electricity generation facility for your property, meeting a portion of your future energy needs for many years to come. The average self-generated electricity unit costs around £0.10 over the system's lifespan, well below grid rates. As utility energy prices rise, your savings grow even more significant.
Retrofitting Solar to Your Existing Roof
SunWorks offer a select range of specialist solar products which can be selected for almost any roof type. Our solar panels come from reputable brands, featuring robust warranties that extend up to 25 years. We pay close attention to the condition of your roof and will always inspect roofs and communicate with clients. We always seek the best result and in some cases make repairs and even full re-roof upgrades. Visit out roofing page for more information.
It's essential to be aware of the variations in the quality and durability of different solar products on the market, especially when it comes to inverters. SunWorks exclusively provides key components from trusted brands with warranties of at least 12 years.
While rooftop systems are typically more feasible, we can also install ground-based systems in domestic curtilage areas when there's insufficient roof space and a suitable garden area.
Solar Integration for Construction Projects
Integrating solar into a roof is a strong recommendation, particularly when re-roofing or embarking on a construction project. During the budgeting phase of your project, you're likely to have access to financing, making it easier to spread the cost of the solar system. Additionally, installing solar during construction not only saves on roofing material costs but also results in a streamlined, integrated appearance.
We frequently collaborate with architects to ensure a seamless planning process. Solar integration can help buildings comply with regulations, such as 'Part – L conservation of fuel and power.'
