In the ever-evolving landscape of renewable energy, Aiko Solar stands out as a pioneer. They are not just another solar panel manufacturer; they're pushing the boundaries of solar technology with a focus on efficiency, aesthetics, and long-term performance.

Founded in 2009, they quickly became a leading solar cell manufacturer for the leading solar panel giants. At the forefront of the quickly evolving solar technology, they have continuously pushed the boundaries of what solar energy can achieve, such as inventing the tubular PERC cell in 2016, and more recently the ABC cell.

Altrincham, a vibrant town nestled within Trafford, Greater Manchester, is embracing a greener future. With a population of roughly 78,000, the town presents a unique opportunity for domestic and potentially commercial solar panel installations. With Altrincham residents having a significantly higher level of home ownership than the national average, they are at a distinct advantage of having solar systems help power their home.

Solar panel installations in Macclesfield are on the rise, following suit with the rest of the country. In the past decade, installations in the Cheshire East region alone have increased by an extraordinary 5500%.

For those green pioneers who were in the minority getting solar installed back in the early 2010s, they may be finding their equipment isn’t performing as efficiently as it once was. Immersion controllers underperforming, bird nesting issues affecting panel power and inverter faults are some of the most common issues starting to affect these Macclesfield residents and further afield.

Stockport and the surrounding areas of Bramhall, Cheadle and Hazel Grove, a bustling town in Greater Manchester with a population of approximately 295,000 is experiencing a surge in solar panel installations. This trend reflects a growing national movement towards renewable energy, but Stockport's story is unique, driven by a combination of demographics, green initiatives, and supportive local government schemes.

Solar and other forms of renewable energy are becoming more and more significant in a world beginning to feel the effects of climate change .

Once the Feed-In Tariff was introduced in 2010 and the cost of PV panels fell, the popularity of domestic solar panel installations steadily increased year on year and, as of 2023, there are over 1.7 million domestic properties with Solar PV systems installed.

Lymm, a town nestled within the Warrington borough of Cheshire, UK, is not only known for its idyllic countryside setting but also for its growing commitment to sustainable practices. As more and more UK residents become environmentally aware as a whole, Lymm is playing its part and providing its residents with opportunities to become involved and make their own contribution to a greener environment.

Greater Manchester is leading the charge towards a greener future, and homeowners are taking notice. With sunshine hours steadily increasing and a growing focus on sustainability, solar panels are becoming a popular addition to Manchester rooftops. But what exactly makes them such a compelling choice?

Fossil fuels are deadly. That, we’ve known for a long time – a worryingly long time, given the evidence that has been mounting against oil, coal, and gas for decades now. While we face other risks to our health and well-being when we’re out in the world – cigarette smoke, for instance – no other danger has such a catastrophic and widespread impact on the very planet on which we depend for survival. 

From air pollution to extreme heat, flooding, drought, fire and famine, the knock-on effects of the climate crisis are all deadly. Even when the impact is less severe, they cause injury, trauma, loss of livelihood, displacement and disease to run rampant, impacting entire communities who may never be able to regain what was lost. 

The team at Atlantic Renewables have worked on countless private properties over the years. We have made it possible for homeowners and landlords to distance themselves from the national grid and embrace a cleaner, healthier, and more environmentally friendly approach to powering their homes, and we’ll never get tired of playing that role.

But we also have a lot of experience working on larger installations for commercial properties in order to enable businesses, developers and farmers to liberate their energy consumption from the unpredictable and exploitative fossil fuel industry. It’s an incredibly rewarding line of work to be in – bit by bit, aiding in the UK’s green recovery from years of economic downturn and mounting pressure from the climate crisis.
