Shining a light on Avonside Energy at our Hemlock Gate development in Bramcote

28th March 2025

Did you know that our 22-acre Hemlock Gate site in Nottinghamshire is fitted with cutting-edge PV solar panels from Avonside Energy?

This means that our homeowners there can significantly reduce their energy expenses by harnessing the power of the sun!

The team at Avonside Energy are the champions in new build solar solutions, and have forged close relationships with many of the leading manufacturers to ensure that they are ideally placed to recommend the best system for each development they work on.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are an easy option for homeowners as they provide clean energy, much like a miniature built-in power station.

The PV panels are usually made from silicon, or another semiconductor material installed in a metal panel frame with a glass casing. When this material is exposed to photons of sunlight, it releases electrons and produces an electric charge.

This charge then creates an electric current, which is captured by the wiring in the solar panels. The electricity is then converted to alternating current by an inverter.

The solar systems from Avonside can range from just a few panels to a fully covered rooftop and are generally a fit-and-forget solution for homeowners.

The amount of money you could save by installing solar panels depends on how much energy you use and the number of panels you have installed. By following best practices though, you could save up to 70% on your energy bills.

By introducing solar technology at our Hemlock Gate development, we are assisting our new homeowners to support a greener future for many more years to come.
