ACTRESS Linda Lusardi has chosen solar panels from Brighouse-based renewable energy specialist Ploughcroft for her home in North London.
The former glamour model, who has starred in Emmerdale, Dancing on Ice and The Bill as well as Brookside, approached Ploughcroft for a quote after a friend had solar panels fitted by the company.
She said: “We had seen Ploughcroft’s managing director Chris Hopkins on BBC’s Dragons Den, where he attracted two investors and we knew that Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis wouldn’t have invested in a company that wasn’t an expert in their field.
“We liked the fact that they had a background in roofing, so we were comfortable that they knew what they were doing and we wouldn’t have to worry.”
Ploughcroft installed a 4kW system on the roof of Linda’s west-facing home, which took just over half a day to install and started generating an extra income straight away.
Ploughcroft is one of the largest suppliers of solar photovoltaic systems in the UK and has designed the industry’s first Solar Roofing course in association with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors, which it delivers to installers across the country.
The company supplies solar panels to domestic projects and commercial installations and is an MCS-accredited installer.
