So Go Solar Ltd is a team of expert solar panel installers of domestic and commercial solar panel (PV) systems across London, Surrey and the South East. We also provide and install solar thermal systems as well as providing an LED lighting installation service.

We almost always use leading European manufacturers with market leading products and customer support. We have long established relationships with a small number of suppliers who themselves have excellent technical support from these manufacturers. This enables us to provide our customers with a high level of customer support in the unlikely event of faults developing.

This approach can also be used where velux windows are required such as in this loft conversion in Twickenham. Here the velux windows have also been ‘integrated’ into the design to provide a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
Integrated systems are solar PV products designed to replace existing roofing materials and they come in three forms:
Solar tiles and slates are of similar dimensions to traditional slates or tiles and as such can easily be integrated into a slate or tile roof to provide a solar PV array. These products tend to be less efficient than conventional framed solar panels and as such require a greater roof area /kWp installed. They are also more expensive than conventional panels /kWp.
Here an aluminium framework is installed over ply or battens. This framework has a rebate, into which the 4mm solar pv laminates are placed. The laminates are secured using capping strips. Such systems can be used to provide a ‘whole’ roof solution from gable end to gable end such that no additional tile or slate is required to complete the roof. In addition awkward roof sections can be accommodated using ‘blanks’ aesthetically match the solar laminates but are not electrically active.
With affordable battery storage systems now available, the surplus energy generated by your solar PV system during the day (which would otherwise have been exported) can now be stored for use when energy demand is greatest i.e in the evenings. Battery storage therefore helps to maximise self-consumption and cut your bills.
There are a wide range of Solar Battery Storage options on the market and SogoSolar would be pleased to give you a no obligation consultation. We are an accredited Tesla Energy installer and can also install products from other manufacturers, including:
