From humble beginnings…established in 1997, Ploughcroft has built up an excellent reputation for quality, integrity and total commitment to customer service. Under the guidance of Managing Director, Chris Hopkins, Ploughcroft has developed into a major roofing, training and renewables provider nationwide, with particular expertise in pv solar panel installation.

The answer to the question is “very well!” Basically, a photovoltaic system consists of solar pv panels and support equipment which converts received light into green electricity. This can then be used to power your home or sold back to the national grid.
