Commercial solar designed for a high-energy industrial site. ☀️
Four Seasons Fuel approached DW Energy after rising electricity costs became a growing concern at its Coneyhurst premises. With heavy machinery operating alongside the company’s office facilities, the site required a substantial and reliable source of on-site electricity generation.

DW Energy designed and installed a 106.9 kWp commercial solar PV system featuring:

• 264 Solarwatt panels
• 48 panels across the office building
• 216 panels across the warehouse
• Three SolaX three-phase inverters
• Specialist fixings selected for the fragile warehouse roof

Careful planning allowed the available roof space to be maximised without compromising the warehouse roof’s watertight integrity.

The completed system now generates electricity to support both the office and machinery-intensive warehouse, helping reduce the business’s reliance on grid power when solar energy is available.

A commercial solar system should be designed around the way your business uses energy.

DW Energy provides tailored solar design and installation solutions to help businesses improve energy efficiency, reduce their reliance on the grid and work towards their sustainability goals.

Plug-in solar panels are now legal to buy and use across Great Britain, giving homeowners, tenants and people living in flats a more accessible way to generate some of their own electricity.

From 27 August 2026, compliant systems can supply up to 800 W of power through a suitable household socket.

However, easy to buy does not mean suitable for every home. Plug-in solar supplies electricity back into the property, so the condition of the wiring, protective devices, chosen socket and installation method all matter.

Before purchasing a system:

• Choose a compliant product from a registered UK seller
• Check the condition of your home’s electrical installation
• Connect directly to a suitable socket
• Never use extension leads or international adaptors
• Mount the panels and cables securely
• Check landlord, freeholder and insurance requirements
• Register the system after installation
• Do not connect or daisy-chain multiple devices

Plug-in solar can provide a useful starting point, but it is not a direct replacement for a professionally designed rooftop system.

Built for care. Ready for the future.

DW Energy delivered the electrical and energy infrastructure for The Poets, a new purpose-built care home in Worthing, West Sussex.

Developed by South Coast Nursing Homes, the facility was designed to provide residents with a modern, safe and comfortable environment. Working alongside Pilbeam Construction over the course of the 12-month project, our team brought the building’s essential electrical, safety, resident-support and renewable energy systems together within one coordinated installation.

Our work included:

⚡ Complete electrical installation
💡 Internal and external lighting
🔔 Data infrastructure and nurse call systems
🔥 Fire alarms and CCTV
☀️ A 161-panel solar PV system
🔌 Six EV charging points

Care homes require reliable power around the clock. By planning these connected services together from the outset, we were able to coordinate their installation with the wider construction programme while giving the project team a single point of responsibility.

The 161-panel solar PV system now provides an on-site source of renewable electricity, helping the care home reduce its reliance on grid power and better manage future electricity costs.

Six EV charging points were also integrated during construction, preparing the site for the changing transport needs of staff, visitors and operational vehicles.

The completed project brings together reliable power, resident-support technology, safety systems, renewable generation and EV charging in one future-ready solution.

Can solar panels generate electricity during winter? Yes!

Solar panels use daylight rather than heat, which means they can continue generating electricity during the colder months. However, shorter days and reduced sunlight can result in lower overall output.

Can a home battery work without solar panels? Yes.

A standalone battery can charge from the grid when electricity is cheaper and supply stored power when rates are higher, depending on your tariff and system configuration.
