You’ve probably seen headlines about the world passing the 1.5°C warming limit—but what does that actually mean? 🌍

The 1.5°C goal compares the planet’s long-term average temperature with temperatures before widespread industrialisation. It doesn’t mean every day or every country becomes exactly 1.5°C warmer.

Why does it matter? As the planet warms, the risks from extreme heat, heavy rainfall and other climate impacts increase. Small changes in the global average can have large effects on our everyday lives.

UNEP’s latest report warns that warming is set to exceed 1.5°C. But reducing emissions still makes a difference: limiting how far temperatures rise, and for how long, can reduce the damage.

Here in the UK, the Met Office provisionally recorded summer 2026 as our hottest on record—a reminder that climate change affects us at home too.

Solar is one practical way suitable households can reduce reliance on grid electricity. Panels generate electricity from daylight, helping you power your home while reducing its operational carbon footprint.

Your potential savings depend on your roof, system size and electricity use. We’ll help you understand what could work for your home, with straightforward advice.

A new-build home, high energy bills and a homeowner looking for long-term value — here’s how we approached the challenge.

In Volume 3 of Your Problem, Our Solution, the customer wanted to understand how solar could help prepare her home for the future while keeping the investment cost in mind.

We installed:

☀️ 34 × 480W AIKO solar panels, providing a 16.32kWp array.
⚡ A 10kW EcoFlow inverter.
🔋 Three 5.1kWh EcoFlow batteries, providing 15.3kWh of combined storage capacity.

This setup combines daytime electricity generation with storage for later use. Integrated monitoring also helps the homeowner understand how the system is performing.

The project calculations estimated £2,165 in annual energy bill savings and £65,890 in net savings over the assumed system lifetime.*

The right system size depends on your property and electricity needs. Our team will explain your options and prepare a personalised proposal.

This time, the installation is a little closer to home — at our own office! ⚡🚗

Watch our team install an EV charger at LJM HQ and see some of the work that goes into creating a convenient charging point.

Considering an EV charger for your home or business? The right setup depends on your vehicle, where you park and your property’s electrical supply. Our team can talk you through the options and assess what’s needed for installation.

If you have solar panels, we can also explore compatible chargers that allow you to use surplus solar electricity to charge your vehicle.

Which of these solar installations would you choose for your home? ☀️

Our latest This or That post features recent LJM projects in Leicester, Castle Donington and Nottingham, showing different rooftop layouts and battery and inverter installations.

Take a look through the photos and tell us your favourites!

Although appearance is part of the decision, a suitable installation starts with understanding the property. Roof orientation, shading, available space and household electricity use all influence the design.

Battery and inverter positioning also needs to account for access, manufacturer requirements and the space available.

That’s why we help customers understand what will work for their particular home, rather than assuming every property needs the same setup.

You can join privately, with family or friends, or share a photograph of your candle using if that feels right for you. There is no expectation to share your personal experience.

For anyone affected by pregnancy or baby loss, we hope this moment brings a sense of connection and reminds you that your baby is remembered.
