About from company website
Solar Frames South West Ltd, based in Boscastle, Cornwall, specialises in the design and installation of the 'Cornish Rocker', a unique, seasonally adjustable ground-mounted solar frame. The company was founded by Chris and Sally Searle, who were inspired to create a self-sustainable energy solution for their Bed and Breakfast. The Cornish Rocker is engineered to significantly increase solar energy output, particularly during winter months, by allowing seasonal adjustment of the panel angle.
This robust design is built to withstand challenging weather conditions, including high winds. The company collaborates with institutions like the Eden Project and the National Solar Centre to assess and validate the benefits of their innovative system. Solar Frames South West Ltd offers a bespoke service, tailoring configurations to meet diverse client needs, site constraints, and planning requirements.
Their expertise extends to various installations, from residential systems to larger commercial projects, demonstrating the versatility and effectiveness of the Cornish Rocker across different environments and scales.
