Better Planet solar installer

Better Planet solar PV and building-energy systems

Better Planet combines solar PV and battery storage with a broader renewable-heating and building-services offering. Its website addresses homeowners, architects, consultants and commercial developments. For solar buyers, the distinguishing feature is the ability to discuss generation alongside heating, ventilation and system integration rather than considering the roof array in isolation.

The published contact office is The Busworks on North Road in London. Better Planet (UK) Limited is registered separately at Northaw Place near Potters Bar in Hertfordshire. The company was incorporated on 4 September 2012. Its website describes a business history extending to 2004; that statement is distinct from the incorporation date of the current legal entity.

Solar installation within a wider property project

Better Planet lists solar PV, commercial solar PV, battery storage, heat pumps and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery among its technologies. Its project information includes an in-roof solar example, illustrating that solar enquiries can form part of a building project as well as an existing-property upgrade.

If comparing Better Planet solar installation for a renovation or development, explain the other planned electrical loads at the outset. Heating equipment, hot-water production and an anticipated battery can affect the brief. Ask for the solar generation estimate and equipment schedule to remain identifiable within the wider proposal so that the solar element can be compared on its own merits.

What to include in the project brief

Provide roof drawings where available, the intended occupancy and the project programme. For an existing property, electricity consumption and roof condition are useful starting points. Ask which design, installation and commissioning tasks are included, and who will coordinate interfaces between the solar PV equipment and the other building systems.
