At Joju Solar, one of the most common questions we are asked is “what is the most efficient solar panel?” We’ve compiled a guide to the best of the best.
Customers often ask us if they should arrange to have their solar panels cleaned. The short answer is that it is unlikely to be worth it. In the UK climate solar panels are largely self-cleaning and deterioration in PV system output due to dust or dirt is rarely detectable, even after 3 years. However, if you are in doubt do ask us to have a look at your generation figures (taking in to account weather variations).READ MORE
Our electric vehicle infrastructure project manager, Hugh Pickerill, takes a look at future technologies for electric car charging.
The switch to electric vehicles has other beneficial effects above and beyond reducing carbon dioxide emissions from personal transport. Conventional internal combustion engine vehicles also produce pollution, notable nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, that have seriously detrimental effects on local air quality. Poor air quality can affect people’s health, especially irritation of the respiratory system and lungs and some forms of cancer. Improving local air quality is therefore a major issue for many local councils, and encouraging the switch to EVs is a key means for addressing this. Below we look in more detail at these tailpipe pollution issues.

Well it’s been quite an April here at Joju Solar! We’ve delivered a whole host of projects this month and lots of them have featured some really innovative design. We give our customers bespoke designs for all projects, and the results can be spectacular. With our project managers filling up our WhatsApp group with pictures of their latest work, we thought we’d share some of the best with you.READ MORE
One of the most common questions we are asked is: can I run my car on solar energy?
Last week saw two major policy announcements with major impacts on the way we manage our electricity networks, generate and consume electricity, and use transport.
We’ve just installed one of the first Tesla Powerwall 2 units in the country, for comic actor, presenter and renewable energy enthusiast Robert Llewellyn. We’ve blogged the entire installation process, so you can see how simple it is.
Designing high quality solar systems isn’t as easy as you’d think.
Being cold-called by solar companies? Here’s our guide to what is a good deal and what isn’t.
