Providing affordable and reliable renewable energy systems to the North East
Phillips Renewables is a family-run renewable energy company built on over 50 years of experience in the heating and energy industry. We are the sister company of G. Phillips Heating and Solar Services Ltd, a business proudly run by our family since 1973.
For decades, G. Phillips has provided reliable, high-quality heating solutions to homes and businesses, earning a strong reputation for workmanship, honesty, and customer care. As the energy landscape has evolved, so have we. Phillips Renewables was created to bring that same trusted approach to solar and renewable technologies.
Solar
energy is a newer part of our journey, but it is a deliberate and important
step forward. As a family business, we recognise the responsibility to invest
in greener solutions for both our customers and future generations. By
expanding into renewables, we aim to help households reduce energy costs, lower
their carbon footprint, and gain greater control over how they generate and use
energy.
Our
renewable division is built on the same values that have guided us for over
half a century: quality products, skilled installation, clear advice, and
long-term support. Whether you’re looking to future-proof your home, reduce
reliance on rising energy prices, or make a positive environmental impact,
Phillips Renewables is here to guide you every step of the way.
At Phillips
Renewables, we provide complete renewable energy solutions designed to help you
reduce energy costs, lower your carbon footprint, and future-proof your home.
From initial survey to final installation, everything is managed in-house and
fully covered within the price we quote - no hidden extras.
We design and install high-quality solar photovoltaic (PV) systems tailored to your home and energy usage. Solar PV allows you to generate your own electricity, reduce reliance on the grid, and protect yourself against rising energy prices. Every system is carefully specified to maximise performance, efficiency, and long-term value.
Battery storage allows you to store surplus energy generated by your solar panels and use it when you need it most - during the evening or when energy tariffs are higher. Batteries can also be charged using low off-peak rates, helping you make the most of your energy and further reduce costs.
We install home EV charging points that integrate seamlessly with your electrical system and, where applicable, your solar and battery setup. Charging your electric vehicle at home is convenient, cost-effective, and even greener when powered by your own solar energy.
As part of our continued move towards greener heating solutions, we will soon be offering air source heat pump installations. This technology provides an efficient, low-carbon alternative to traditional heating systems and aligns perfectly with our long-standing expertise in heating and energy services.
We take
care of every part of the job, so you don’t have to.
Every
installation includes:
What we quote is what you pay — everything is included.
We went solar for a few reasons, including helping the environment; however, the biggest driver was using it as an investment against the constant rise in energy costs. We looked at several companies and carried out extensive research. G Phillips was selected because of their excellent reputation within the industry, their very competitive pricing, and their outstanding service levels. From the first meeting right through to the completion of the installation, the process was completely smooth and hassle-free. Our latest 12-month energy bill, which includes all electricity, gas, and the full running costs of our electric car, came to just under £300. It doesn’t take a mathematician to see that we will achieve a return on our investment in no time at all. We would not hesitate to recommend G Phillips to anyone considering solar.
We chose G Phillips to install our solar panels because they are a well-established local firm with a fantastic track record. They use high-quality panels and batteries and also offer installation and product warranties, so if there are any issues, we know we are covered. Our panels were installed quickly and efficiently, and the work was carried out in a highly professional manner. Everyone has been extremely helpful, answering all our questions, responding promptly to emails and phone calls, and assisting us with all the paperwork. We would definitely recommend G Phillips.
Background
& Motivation
The decision to install solar formed an important
part of my retirement planning. My goal was to reduce household outgoings once
retired while maintaining a comfortable lifestyle. Having recently purchased a
Tesla, the ability to use surplus solar energy during the summer months to
power both my home and my transport made solar an especially attractive
solution.
Reducing our carbon footprint was also a key
consideration. Solar allowed us not only to lower emissions, but to actively
monitor and understand our environmental impact on a day-to-day basis.
Choosing
the Right Installer
Before committing to a long-term investment such as
solar, it was essential to work with a reputable local company. I had heard
consistently positive feedback about G Phillips and valued the reassurance of
knowing the company was local and accessible should any issues arise.
From the outset, it was clear we had made the right
decision. The installation team worked efficiently and professionally, and it
was evident they took pride in their workmanship. Ongoing communication was
excellent, with Jack readily available to answer questions and assist with any
follow-up queries.
System
Performance & Financial Benefits
Since installing solar and battery storage, we have
seen significant benefits. Having batteries has proven to be a particularly
wise choice, allowing us to charge them using lower off-peak energy rates and
use that stored energy when rates are higher.
Interestingly, the system has also changed how we
view energy usage at home. While we are more relaxed about everyday
consumption, the overall efficiency and savings speak for themselves.
As a former financial adviser, I can confidently
say the return on investment from this solar installation has been extremely
impressive, reinforcing that this was a sound financial and lifestyle decision.
