Meet your solar and heat pump experts in south west
I’m Matt, your local solar and heating expert here in Devon. I’ve lived in Exeter, Mid Devon for many years, and I know exactly how important reliable, affordable heating is for families in our part of the country.
That’s why I’m passionate about helping homeowners switch to solar panel PV systems and heat pumps that make the most of our natural resources.
With backing from OVO Solar & Heating, you get the reassurance of national standards combined with local care. I’m not just an installer, I’m your neighbour, committed to providing honest advice, expert fitting, and ongoing support long after installation day. And yes, when I’m not on rooftops fitting solar panels, you’ll probably find me enjoying a cream tea (the Devon way!) or grabbing a cheeky kebab after a long day.

Our work in action
Standout project
One of the projects we’re most proud of was helping a family in Exeter swap out their old oil boiler for a modern air source heat pump. Not only did it cut their heating bills, but it also reduced their carbon emissions. Now they enjoy a warm, comfortable home year-round without worrying about rising fuel costs.
Local community
Because we live and work here, we care deeply about supporting our community. Many of our installations are in family homes across Devon and Cornwall, and we’re proud to see renewable energy making a difference right on our doorstep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do solar panels really work in Devon & Cornwall?
Absolutely. Even on cloudy days, solar panels generate electricity. Devon and Cornwall’s coastal climate still provides plenty of sunlight to make solar worthwhile, especially when paired with battery storage.
What’s the cost of a heat pump installation?
Costs vary depending on your home, but government incentives and energy savings make heat pumps a smart long-term investment. We’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote after your free survey.
How long does installation take?
Most solar installations can be completed in 1–2 days. Heat pumps usually take a little longer, around 3–5 days depending on the property. We’ll always keep disruption to a minimum.
Do you offer free surveys or quotes?
Yes, we provide a free home survey to check suitability and explain your options for solar and heat pump systems.
