In modern society, it’s a well known fact that fossil fuels and carbon emissions are heavily responsible for climate change and the global decline of our planet’s health. Of course, this is largely due to human impact, so it’s only right that we hold ourselves accountable and act responsibly by being the ones to find the solutions to reverse the damage we’ve caused.
That’s exactly what we strive to do here at Sunflower Energy Solutions in Devon. We recognise that not only is it important to find such solutions, but it’s just as important to make these accessible to you, allowing everyone to do their part to create a greener environment and live as a more sustainable society in general.
We’ve put together this comprehensive guide detailing what we do, looking at the services we offer in detail so you can fully understand the positive impact we have and how we can help you make a difference.
What We Do and Why
We are Sunflower Energy Solutions - a company that offers smart energy solutions to domestic and commercial clients alike. Part of our ethos is to see that more people have access to sustainable energy solutions at a reasonable, competitive price that’s hard to beat.
Our main focus is solar energy, with a focus on both solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and solar battery storage. However, we also specialise in charging installations for electric vehicles (EV) and electrical contracting, making us your go to company for sustainable energy solutions in Exeter and throughout Devon.
Why Choose Us?
You may be wondering what makes us so special and why you should choose us over someone else. Well, firstly, many other companies who offer solar energy solutions or EV chargers tend to only offer these exclusively, whereas we, as we’ve already mentioned, offer a range of sustainable energy solutions including both of these.
This allows us to act as your single point of contact regarding your smart energy solutions and any additional electrical needs you may require. Furthermore, whilst our head office is based in Exeter, we also serve the wider area of Devon, with bases in Barnstaple, Torquay and Newton Abbot, meaning no matter where you’re based in Devon you can take advantage of our services.

● Have over 12 years of trading within the solar and renewable industry
● Offer free, no obligation quotations
● Don’t use heavy sales techniques or commission-based salespeople
● Directly employ our staff, making up our team of local, fully trained employees
● Don’t use subcontractors
● Offer a 10 year, insurance backed workmanship guarantee
● Provide continued assistance and advice upon completion from one of our fully
trained engineers
On top of all these advantages, we are fully NICEIC certified, meaning you can have complete faith in our team.
Solar Power in Devon
Whilst we offer multiple services, our main speciality is solar energy. Gas and electricity usage is one of the key contributors to harmful carbon emissions in both homes and commercial buildings. Thankfully, there are a number of renewable energy sources that can be utilised instead. These sources are able to generate energy that can then be converted to electricity, without the need to burn fossil fuels.
Solar energy is one of the leading renewable energy markets that has become increasingly widespread and available in recent years. This is partly due to the fact that it can be harnessed almost anywhere. Devon is especially a great place to utilise this natural energy source given its southern location, meaning it sees a generous amount of sunlight throughout the year.
We will install solar PV panels on the roof of your property, taking the time to work out the most optimal positioning and arrangement to ensure you get the most energy from your panels, allowing you to benefit from fantastic value for money and improve your energy independence as a home or business.
Solar Battery Storage
We want our customers to receive the full benefit from their solar panels and help you reduce your reliance on the national grid as much as possible, which is why we also provide solar battery storage solutions.
Solar batteries work by storing any unused energy that’s been generated by your solar panels in the day, so that it can then be used at a later time when needed and when your solar panels aren’t generating any power. For example, if you are out during the day, you likely won’t be using much of the energy your panels are generating, but when you come home you can then use this stored energy throughout the evening and night when they are no longer generating energy due to the darkness.
This is especially useful during the winter months when the days are shorter and the nights are longer, or on days where you find yourself needing to use more energy than usual, such as when hosting a gathering or having guests stay over. Additionally, if you find that you don’t need to use all of the surplus energy stored in your solar battery, there is also the option to sell it back to the grid through a process known as a ‘feed-in tariff’, in which energy companies will pay for your excess solar energy.
The great thing about solar batteries is that they allow you to be energy independent; without a solar battery, your alternative option for having access to electricity during the night is from the grid, which isn’t guaranteed to be from sustainable sources and will also cost you on your energy bill.
Whether you’re looking to get solar panels installed or have existing ones, we can install solar battery storage systems to suit your requirements, taking into account your available space, budget and power needs. Our systems can also be tracked with real-time monitoring, allowing you to track your power generation and usage to fully understand how to make the most of your energy.
EV Charger Installations
Another great way to reduce your carbon footprint is by opting to drive an electric vehicle. Petrol and diesel vehicles especially are known to have a negative impact on the environment, both from the need to source fossil fuels so they can run and the large emissions they produce. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, produce zero tail emissions and instead require electricity to run, making them a much greener option with a minimised environmental impact.
However, just as you have to pay for fuel, you also need to pay to charge electric vehicles - although, they do offer a huge bonus in that you have the opportunity to do so at home with an EV charger installation.
Here at Sunflower Energy Solutions, we specialise in the installation of Zappi Car Chargers, a British brand renowned for their reliability and after-sale support. Zappi chargers have three different charging settings - ECO, ECO+ and FAST - and can even be connected to your solar panels. Doing so allows you to benefit from free, sustainable charging, rather than having to add to your electricity bill.
Electrical Contracting: Electrical Systems & More
As licensed electrical contractors, we also offer our expertise to businesses throughout Devon and Cornwall. Not only can we offer help regarding your solar installations, but you can count on us to assist you with any of your everyday electrical systems, whether that be fuse boxes, EV charging stations or emergency lighting and everything in-between.
These services can also be arranged to suit your business’s specific needs, whether that be a one-off arrangement, annual inspection or an agreed maintenance plan. We will always take the time to discuss your requirements with you to find the best solution.
