What system for me? How do I know which is right? Pure Solar sees growing demand for its consultancy services.

With the rapid emergence of the renewable energy sector, Pure Solar is seeing increasing demand for its consultancy services. Customers typically include wealthy private individuals (who have large homes where significant savings can be realised) and commercial enterprises (who can see significant savings to their bottom lines) and both are expressing a need for advice across a range of renewable energy technologies.

"I have lost count of the number of times I have had clients tell me that they can't see the wood for the trees when it comes to renewable energy solutions." says Chris Whitelock, Managing Director of Pure Solar Ltd. "For some homes solar thermal might be appropriate; for others it might be a heat pump; for yet others it could be that biomass is the answer. Gone are the days when the choice for heating was either a gas condensing boiler or combi-boiler. And what about electricity-generating methods? Is a micro wind turbine going to work or is solar PV the answer? How about costs - both of installation and then running the system? All of these complexities need looking at carefully when it comes to making informed decisions about renewable energy."

At Pure Solar we are able to steer customers through these questions. Our bespoke consultations look carefully at each individual situation. We make detailed heat requirement calculations (which forms the basis for choosing the correct system); we look at the context of their home (how much land is available; is it exposed; is the building new or old; how will a particular system fit with their lifestyle (some systems are more labour-intensive than others); how do running costs compare?

To really benefit from the savings that are possible (and significant savings can be made using renewable technologies), an informed and knowledgable approach must be taken. Too often
decisions made in haste just to be seen to be doing something end up being costly and, ultimately, inefficient.
