Recently, we sat down with the Ashden Awards team to share the story behind our work in Plymouth. We are so proud of what our community has achieved, and even prouder to have won the 2026 Ashden Award for Local Energy Innovation. Take a look! 👇

The inverter is basically the translator of your solar system.

Your solar panels produce DC electricity, but your home runs on AC electricity. So the inverter steps in, converts the power, and makes it ready to run everything from your fridge to your phone charger.

If you’ve got battery storage too, the inverter also manages where that energy goes, whether it’s powering your home or being stored for later.

To be honest, not the flashiest part of the system.
Arguably the hardest working.

A bit like the person in the group chat who actually books the restaurant.

Today is World Refugee Day and we wanted to celebrate it.
Everyone is welcome at PEC, no matter where you come from, what language you speak, if you were born here or not. We help everyone who needs energy advice.
Refugees are not defined by border or labels. They are our neighbours, friends, parents, families, students, rebuilding their lives with courage and hope.
You are welcome at PEC, and if you needed a translator, let us know, we can help 😊
