necessary requirements of OFGEM for all electricity generated.

aluminium self-ballasted flat roof system which provide 34 kilowatt
(kW) of power. A generous yield of 30,000 kWh/yr is generated by

“As a repeat customer of Ablaze, I would happily continue to involve them in future projects due to confidence in the quality of their
products and installation, commercial competitiveness, and trustworthiness to deliver on time. Customer focus is obviously at the
forefront of their business, from procurement through to handover
and this is demonstrated by the obliging and supportive professional
manner by which they approach their projects. Design challenges
are commonplace on MEP projects, Ablaze is always on hand to
assist with their expertise and drive, to adapt to the project needs,
and never to capitalise where change is required.”
