An Inspector Calls!

We had a visit from the inspector at SSE to witness test the commercial jobs this week.  He was very impressed, and the whole ‘electrical management’ of each system was highly commended – 6 Systems all of which were just under 50kWp.

We also aim for 12 domestic jobs this week, and remain slightly ahead of schedule thanks to great effort from all teams together with good weather. 

Thanks go to our customers for their patience during this testing time in the industry, and as always, to such a fabulous team.

This has been a very testing week, but as always the team has pulled together, and and has a solid plan in place.  As you maybe aware, the government has announced new proposals to cut the feed-in-tariff in half (to 21p per unit for retro fit PV installations up to 4kWp) with effect from 12th December 2011.  This has had a dramatic effect on the industry, in particular stock availability and workload.  We have a duty to those customers who have paid deposits for installation to have their systems commissioned before 12th December, and we are working Monday through to Sunday each week to crunch a 3 month calendar into the next 5 weeks.  We are already slightly ahead of schedule, and those customers can be confident that their installation will be completed in time.  We are very grateful to have such a solid, determined and understanding team and thanks go to each and every one of them for their continued support.  Following the 12th December, PV will still be a way to reduce those increasing energy bills and have an income on investment.

The two 50kWp systems are well under way (Keith how did you manage to take annual leave this month – we are far too busy!?!).  4 domestic roof top systems scheduled for this week, and so far all going to plan -it is only Tuesday but I am confident!

This week saw the preparations and final plans being confirmed for 2 x 50kWp systems to be installed on barn roofs. We look forward to getting the pictures of these on the website in the next few weeks.  3 Domestic roof top systems we also installed.  The whole team took part in a team building exercise on Friday and I am quite confident in saying it was enjoyed by all!

This was a record week on the domestic installs, with 6 installations. 5 completed and commissioned, the 6th scheduled to carry over to next week but still going to plan for commissioning on Monday. We also took delivery of new Blackberry mobiles for the teams, but with all the problems Blackberry have had world wide in the last few days, I think we shall wait until the weekend to switch these on!!!

Well, what with tea, coffee,  cake and bacon and sausage sandwiches, our customers have been extremely accommodating towards the install teams. James was also pleased to report back to the office that he received a kiss from a pleased customer, and they even managed to get some work done!  4 domestic systems installed and commissioned, together with a commercial commissioning.  Fantastic work again teams.

The install teams are all working at great pace – in fact we all are.  From Pete and Ian out on the customer Site Survey’s to the office staff administering quotes, acknowledgements, handover paperwork, and managing the logistics and operations, we are all working extremely hard.  5 systems were installed and commissioned this week with a further commissioning on the commercial side rolling over to next week.  It has been a great week with work, and of course the weather too – Keith said his team enjoyed the ice cream provided by Mrs W, thank you.

Murray Hire is switched on and generating well!  We also ‘kept it in the family’ with an install at Naomi’s parents house – Naomi also got up on the roof to have a look at what the installers get involved with; she wobbled slightly and the boys don’t have to worry about their jobs!  A further domestic install took place together with an install on our own premises.  A busy week all round!

Well the commercial team are going great with the 33kWp install at Murray Hire. Almost complete and due to be switched on next week. Domestic teams were involved with an in-roof system, and two over roof systems.
