- Cutting-Edge Solar Manufacturing in County Durham
In a groundbreaking development, Power Roll has inaugurated the world’s first flexible solar manufacturing facility in County Durham. This state-of-the-art facility produces lightweight, flexible solar film using patented micro-groove technology, which will help offer a low-cost alternative to traditional panels.
This innovation strengthens the local economy while positioning the North East at the forefront of the solar revolution. At North East Solar, we keep up to date with the latest solar technologies to ensure our customers benefit from the most efficient and cost-effective solutions available. - Pioneering Renewable Energy Networks in South Tyneside
South Tyneside is making headlines with the Viking Energy Network in Jarrow—the UK’s first integrated renewable energy network. By using heat from the River Tyne alongside a solar farm and battery storage, this project showcases how local initiatives can lead the way in sustainable energy.
This highlights the importance of combining solar power with battery storage for homeowners. At North East Solar, we offer bespoke solar and battery solutions that allow you to store excess energy and keep electricity bills low—no matter the weather. - Solar Works in the North East – Even on Cloudy Days
