What sets us apart from every other national and local installer is that we follow our seven guiding principles:
If we’re the solar panel specialists you’d consider entrusting to install your solar panels, we highly recommend you contact us for a free survey and quote.
Once you get in touch, David and Philip, the owners of Baird and Brown Ltd and the solar panel installation team, will pop around (they’re not salespeople who don’t know how solar panel solutions work on a technical level).
In other words, we can answer your questions correctly so that you can make the right decision.
To ensure you’re contacting professional solar panel installers for Kent properties, verify our business (Baird and Brown Ltd) on MCSCertified.com.
This is one of the most renowned and challenging solar panel installation accreditations that a contractor can gain—and we’ve gained it. It’s important because we can guarantee that we’ll install your system correctly and safely.
The sun emits tiny packets of energy called photons. When sunlight strikes a solar panel, these photons collide with the silicon cells within the panel.
Solar panels contain two layers of silicon. One positively charged (p-type) and one negatively charged (n-type). Solar energy movement between these layers creates a current known as Direct Current (DC). However, this type of current isn’t suitable for your domestic appliances.
So, we need to use an inverter (learn more about inverters here) that’ll turn DC into Alternating Current (AC). Your appliances use AC.
This process allows you to use renewable energy in your home, which means you rely less on buying electricity from the grid, bringing your bill down.
On sunny days in Kent, solar panels generate much more energy, leading to significant savings. In most cases, you’ll sell surplus power back to the grid for additional earnings.
At Baird and Brown Ltd, we’ll help you save money on your electricity bills by installing the correct solar panel system for your home and energy usage.
Not only that, but we’ll also help you choose the right energy supplier so that you get the best import/export rates to shorten your payback period. Ultimately, with us, we could help you see a payback in as little as five years, even without solar panel grants. Get in touch with us, and we’ll explain how.
When solar panels generate surplus electricity, the extra renewable energy can first be directed to the battery. We can then configure your system to use the electricity from your battery storage (during the expensive tariff times), thus helping you reduce your electricity bill.
Once your battery is full (common during the summer months), we can configure your system to export excess renewable energy to the grid.
In such a case, you’ll receive a payment from your energy supplier. Most deals from energy suppliers aren’t as good as they used to be, but we know some of the best deals available. Part of our aftercare is ensuring you maximise your return, thus shortening your payback period.
We know that EVs are on the rise. While it may still be a niche market in Kent, more and more residents are buying these vehicles. With the government planning to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2035 (despite its many U-turns), the demand for EV chargers will skyrocket, as will the price, in the short term.
It’s unlikely that the National Grid will be able to manage such levels of demand, so it’s inevitable that the system will be unreliable for EV owners.
You can have your very own system that you can rely on when you have solar panels and battery storage because you can use your renewable energy. Just get in touch with us to find out more.
Some of the most common places we’ve installed solar PV panels are as follows:
