With increasing public awareness of renewable energy systems for domestic and commercial applications, Surrey based DJK Renewables specialise in supplying a range of low-carbon technologies from advanced LED lighting, heat pumps, solar PV and solar heating arrays, to bio mass boilers, wind generation, voltage optimisation and rainwater collection/filtration systems. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel systems and wind generation turbines are eligible for the Government Feed-In Tariff. Guaranteed for up to 25 years, index linked and tax free for domestic properties, the Feed-In Tariff encourages you to generate new electricity.
DJK was established in 2005 by Douglas Williams offering multiple services within the electrical contracting industry. In 2009 he joined forces to establish DJK Contracts Ltd with Chris Clark, a mechanical engineer who has been involved in the installation of Solar Thermal systems for many years. Having been keen to focus on renewable energy products and solutions, DJK Renewables was established to offer the design, supply and installation for a range of energy saving products. We pride ourselves on our professional, reliable, friendly service and have established many satisfied customers throughout the South of England.
Given today's concerns about global warming and climate change, a growing number of us are looking to use renewable energy to reduce our carbon footprint. DJK Renewables have a range of energy efficient renewable solutions, designed to generate electricity to meet our everyday requirements, or deliver heat and hot water comfort to our homes, which also reduce harmful greenhouse gases in the process. Outside air, even on cold days, contains latent heat which can be converted to provide environmentally friendly, low cost heating for both domestic and commercial properties.
In the same way that plants and trees harness the sun's energy for growth, a solar energy system can harness the sun's immense natural power to either convert sunlight to electricity using silicon cells or utilise its thermal energy for direct water heating. Both systems have the objective of not only saving money but also the environment. Solar photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run the appliances in your home or business. They only need daylight and still generate some electricity on cloudy days.
Solar thermal systems are large, flat, black panels that you stick on your roof and at first glance look quite similar to solar PV panels - indeed, you can buy designs that look identical aesthetically. Their job is to provide a property with hot water by using the sun's rays to heat water flowing through pipes on the panel. First of all, the solar collector panels capture the power of the sun and heat the water that is passed slowly though pipes inside the collectors. It then passes through a coil in the household hot water cylinder or heat store, where it heats the domestic hot water supply.
