UPOWA has renewed an exclusive supply agreement with Bargate Homes to install solar panels across its residential developments over the next three years.
Since signing up for the partnership in 2021, UPOWA has worked to futureproof the housebuilder’s properties with their Inline Solar systems.
The new deal will see them providing a complete service to meet Bargate Homes’ solar PV needs, from consultancy, design and supply to installation and aftercare.
James Bull, Sales Director at UPOWA, said: “We’re delighted to continue our long-standing agreement as Bargate Homes’ go-to solar experts, helping to create eco-friendly housing across the South.
“As demand increases for solar panels, UPOWA is well positioned to support Bargate through the obstacles and ensure a smooth transition to the Future Homes Standard.
“We look forward to partnering with them on their journey to creating more high-quality, sustainable homes that reduce energy bills and carbon emissions for their customers.”
Bargate is ultimately looking to comply with the recently implemented Part L Building Regulations, which require a 31 per cent reduction in carbon emissions over previous requirements.
They’ve brought on UPOWA to help manage costs and avoid potential delays in their developments posed by the new requirements.
Managing Director Mark White added: “The installation of solar panels is a key element in our approach to creating energy-efficient homes that meet EPC A and B ratings.
“We’re pleased to continue our partnership with UPOWA with their solar expertise and innovative approach, which will support us as we strive to become one of the most sustainable housebuilders in the industry.”
