Services
A contract to purchase electricity generated from an onsite energy system, typically Solar PV, but may also include Battery storage, Combined Heat and Power or Power Factor Correction (PFC). The system is designed, installed, funded, operated, and maintained by Solar Bay, providing renewable power and energy savings to the site.

The team from Solar Bay contacted our company only two months ago and since then we've already cut over 30 percent off our first bill. They were great to communicate with and were transparent with the numbers. We had some complications but all in all a very good experience. Highly recommended.

Originally contacted these guys to find out a bit of info about how the whole solar process worked as I'd not looked into it previously. Frustrating part of the process was that every company I asked, said I needed a different powered system. Some said 5kW and others said i'd need 10kW. What made the difference with these guys was that they spent the time time send me a spreadsheet showing me exactly the size of system I needed and why. Whilst there were cheaper options around, not by a lot, it was their knowledge of the space and professionalism that won me over in the end. Would highly recommend
