For Home

Helping Households Go Green

Joju Solar’s mission is to help households reduce their carbon emissions and their running costs by installing green technology within the home.  We install solar panels, battery storage and electric vehicle charge points.  These can be installed on their own, or in any combination.  We can deal with any scale – from an electric vehicle home charger, right up to a full multiple technology eco-refurbishment.

Once you’ve decided to purchase a green technology option from Joju, we want to make sure you have the best possible service from start to finish.

We have built our reputation as one of the most trusted renewable energy companies in the country over many years by providing an excellent service.  That means no hard selling from our end; we explain the costs and benefits of your system and let you make up your own mind.

Here’s how we work with you to deliver your green technology installation.

A HOME SOLAR PV SYSTEM THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Designing a home solar panel system is both an art and a science.  Our project managers are all trained in solar design, so you can be sure you are talking to an expert.  Our domestic solar systems are designed solely for your house and your lifestyle. We don’t cut corners to save costs, and we won’t force inappropriate options upon you to try and make more money.  That means our approach may differ from other installers – for example:

• We only use Tier 1 panels to ensure quality.
• We will specify the most suitable panels, inverters and mounting systems for your home solar installation.
• We don’t try and squeeze in panels into every last inch of roof space, especially if it doesn’t look good
• We avoid installing panels in shaded areas wherever possible
• We acknowledge it’s not just the energy generated, but that the appearance of your home is important too

Almost uniquely within the solar industry, we do not employ salespeople.  The project manager you work with, and who surveys your property will be a fully trained solar designer, and a real expert in PV and battery technology.  That means you can ask any question you like and we’ll be able to give you a straight answer.

SOLAR BATTERY STORAGE SOLUTIONS FOR HOMES

Designing battery storage is technically complex, and so we design every home battery storage system as a bespoke design.   The reason is simple – buy a battery that is too small, and it will run out before you expect it to. That’s not good. Buy a battery that’s too large, and you’ll have bought an item of green technology that you won’t be fully using. That’s not good either.

For that reason, we strongly advise against buying ‘off-the-shelf’ solar and battery kits which have preset component sizes.  You may well have seen ads for these all over social media.  They don’t consider how you live your life, or what you want to achieve with a domestic battery system.

Our engineers will design battery systems that are sized to your needs. And it goes without saying – batteries are an optional purchase. We’ll never push you towards a battery purchase where it’s not giving you the benefits you want.

Solar and Battery Installation Process

HOME EV CHARGERS

Good home electric car charging point design is simple.  You put the right charger, with the right functionality, in the right location, and install it neatly and cleanly. It’s a pretty simple checklist, but getting any one of them wrong can severely impact the user experience. That’s why careful design and project management is needed.  To be done well, it’s a little more involved than slapping a home car charging point on the wall.

I’m sure you’re more excited about your new electric car than your home car charger, but you can’t have one without the other! That’s why we want to make the charge point installation process as simple as possible.  Simply choose your desired charge point from our brochure, and then complete the home self-survey form.  We just need a few photos, of your desired charge point location, and your fuse board (to check the electrics are all OK). It’s all pretty simple, and much better easier and cheaper than taking a day off work to wait for a surveyor.

Grants are available for home electric car charging points, but the paperwork is a little bit fiddly.  We handhold you through the application process to make a claim easier.  And you don’t have to pay full price, and wait to get reimbursed – you just pay us the difference.

HOME INSTALLATION AFTERCARE, SERVICING & MAINTENANCE

Green technology installations can last for many decades, and we want to support you for the entire lifetime of the system.  We don’t want to operate on a fit-and-forget basis, so we have several types of support packages offered by our O&M team.

Green technology installations come with product warranties of up to 25 years, so if an issue is observed with your system, we can replace the faulty product.  Furthermore, all of our installations are covered by workmanship warranties, so we will always come back and fix any mistakes that may have occurred during installation.

The key to this is to understand whether, or when, there might be a fault.  We, therefore, offer a full range of monitoring systems to allow you to keep an eye on the operation of your system

We also offer a reactive maintenance service, should you need to call us out to fix anything.  And if you’d like greater peace of mind, we can also provide annual maintenance checks for you.
