Benfleet
The benefits of solar and renewable energy
Why choose Infinite Energy in Benfleet?
Benfleet sits in south Essex, across the estuary from our base in East Malling and further than we travel most weeks, but it is somewhere we have real work on the ground. The Patels' home, documented on this page, is a 7.84 kWp solar and battery installation we fitted around a full roof replacement. We take enquiries across south Essex and treat distance as a question about the individual project rather than a line drawn on a map.
We carry out the survey, design, installation and commissioning ourselves rather than subcontracting the work out. We're also happy to put you in touch with customers who've had the same system fitted, so you can hear how it went from someone who's actually lived with it.
