Sustainability and savings: bigHead’s solar testimonial

Managing Director, Matthew, and Operations Manager, David, share bigHead’s motivations for getting solar panels, how they found the installation and the savings they are seeing already.

Simple, straightforward solar panel installation from our expert team
bigHead manufacture bonded fasteners for a range of industries. Installing solar panels made commercial and environmental sense for the sustainability-focused, energy-intensive business. Wanting a trusted, local installer to carry out the work, bigHead reached out to Good Energy Solar.
“We are extremely impressed by the expertise and commitment both to sustainability and to great service displayed by the installation team.”
“Installing solar is easy. It’s good for business and it’s good for the planet. I really can’t think of a reason not to do it.” Matthew Stevens, bigHead
Saving £8,000 per year on energy costs
Since having their solar panels installed, bigHead have seen big savings in their energy bills, of around £8,000 a year.
“We’ve now had our solar panels for over a year and we’re really pleased we went for them. They have cut the amount of energy we draw from the grid by around 50% and performed much better in the winter than we expected, continuing to make a big dent in our bills.” David White, bigHead
A Good Energy customer for import and export
After their positive experience with solar panel installation, bigHead opted to sell their excess solar power to Good Energy, and join us as a supply customer too. Their excess solar power feeds into the fuel mix we provide for our commercial and domestic customers, helping us to match renewable generation with customer usage in real time, over 90% of the time.
“After getting our solar panels installed by Good Energy, we joined them for our export and REGO payments, which provide a welcome additional income. When our supply contract came up, we moved that to Good Energy too, so that everything was in one convenient place. Good Energy offered us a good price for our electricity supply and friendly account management, all while helping us to cut our carbon footprint further.”
