With today’s soaring energy prices, it’s not surprising that many of us are turning to alternative ways of heating our homes to save money.

The number of households opting to install solar panels as a cheaper way of generating energy is increasing in the Essex area which has in turn seen demand for leading Brentwood scaffolding firm R & D Scaffolding’s services increase rapidly.

Much of their recent work has involved working with solar panel installers to facilitate engineers as they erect equipment on homes in the area. The scaffolding experts recently completed seven solar panel jobs in a single day, suggesting the trend for cheaper and more environmentally-friendly energy is gathering steam. 

Director Kevin Volkman said: “We work with a number of solar panel installers in the Essex region on both domestic and commercial projects and have recently seen demand for this area of our service increase rapidly. This is probably explained by the fact that energy prices are going up but also because there are many special tariffs on offer at the moment which mean some solar panel investments pay for themselves within just five years.

“We are a very experienced company and provide a reliable scaffolding service for solar installers in the Essex region at cost-effective prices. Our scaffolds are erected both efficiently and effectively with minimal disruption to work progress. If you’re looking to partner with a professional scaffolding supplier for your solar panel work, then we’d love to hear from you.  We’ve recently revamped our website and customers will find our new site even more user-friendly, with comprehensive information about our services.”
