Challenges

Christian was planning a new roof installation and wanted the solar panels to be fully integrated into the roof structure rather than mounted on top. Achieving this required close collaboration between multiple trades and careful project coordination to ensure the roofing and solar works were completed efficiently and to the highest standard.

Solutions by JEL Renewables

JEL Renewables worked directly with Christian’s roofing contractor throughout the project, carefully coordinating schedules and installation requirements to ensure a smooth process from start to finish.

The team designed a fully integrated solar solution that became part of the roof itself, creating a clean, modern aesthetic while delivering excellent renewable energy performance. Throughout the project, Christian received detailed advice, clear communication, and expert guidance from the initial design phase through to final commissioning.

Results

Energy Savings: Estimated annual savings of around £900, helping to significantly reduce household energy costs.

Futureproofing: The addition of a 10kWh battery storage system provides greater energy resilience, flexibility, and protection against future energy price increases.

Visual Appeal: The roof-integrated system delivers a premium finish that blends seamlessly with the new roof, enhancing the overall appearance of the property.

Referral Benefits: Through JEL Renewables’ referral programme, Christian can further offset his investment by recommending JEL to friends, family, and neighbours considering solar energy.

Customer Feedback

“When choosing a solar installation for our home I was confronted with a few possible options and very little in the way of a personal recommendation. My choice in selecting JEL Renewables, whilst a leap of faith, transpired to be a good decision.

JEL provided an excellent inception-to-completion process with an exceptional level of communication and customer service from all the team. This spanned early design and advice from Steven, informative and detailed survey (Ewen), a highly capable installation team who worked seamlessly with our roofer, the meticulous electrical installation works (Andy and Lewis) and the commissioning from Harris and the team.

JEL clearly have the depth and professionalism to successfully complete high-level solar and renewable energy projects and I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any situation, domestic or commercial.”
