Are you serious about solar but don't want to buy the wrong equipment?
Bright Light Solar Ltd has over 20 years experience in the design & installation of solar power systems. It is essential to correctly design your solar system to match your specific needs, if you want a system that will perform reliably and that will last many years. Responding to popular demand, we now offer a detailed assessment survey. As part of this assessment, using industry standard software we will analyse your specific project on issues such as location, panel array orientation & setup, solar lighting levels, power demand & usage patterns. Based on the answers you provide to our questionnaire, we deliver a report that assesses your proposed project & estimates what type/size of system your project will require. This allows you to make an informed decision on how or whether to deploy solar power for your energy needs. We also provide a no-obligation quote for suitable equipment that you can purchase from Bright Light Solar Ltd to build your system.

There are two types of solar panels - panels that convert the sun's energy directly into electricity (Solar Electric or Solar PV), and solar panels that absorb the sun's energy using a liquid to generate hot water (Solar Thermal or Solar Hot Water).
