What makes Wearside different
Wearside is the UK's EV manufacturing heartland — Nissan Sunderland plant builds the LEAF and Ariya, with the AESC battery gigafactory in nearby IAMP (International Advanced Manufacturing Park). AMP's renewable installs frequently serve the Nissan and AESC workforce — solar + battery + home EV charger is the most-requested combination across all SR and NE38 postcodes.
Solar irradiance
Wearside averages ~1,150 peak sun hours/year — typical of the NE coast belt.

We name competitors because we think it's helpful — most listed firms are good at one or two services but specialise narrowly. AMP\'s differentiator is full-stack: solar + battery + EV + heat pump + boiler + AC, designed and installed by the same team.
Customer reviews
What our Wearside customers say
5.0 from verified reviews
Warm house, lower bills
“We switched from oil to an air source heat pump and the difference is noticeable. The house is warmer and more consistent than it ever was with the old boiler. Phil explained everything clearly and the install team were tidy and professional.”
SSarah M.
Washington
Finally rid of the oil tank
“Rural property on LPG that was costing us a fortune every winter. AMP designed the system around the property rather than just dropping in a unit. Heat Geek-trained makes a real difference — the radiators were resized as part of the job and the house warms up properly now.”
RRichard H.
Hexham
No more gas bills
“Had ours installed alongside solar panels. AMP handled the BUS grant paperwork — we never had to speak to Ofgem. The combined system covers most of our heating and hot water through the year. Engineer came back three months later to check we were happy.”
MMargaret K.
Morpeth
Quiet outside, warm inside
“We worried about the noise as we live in a conservation area. AMP did a proper MCS 020 noise assessment before quoting and chose a unit and location that meets the rules. Genuinely cannot hear it from the kitchen.”
TTom & Helen B.
Durham City
Off the LPG grid at last
“We were on LPG which is brutal in winter. The new heat pump runs on a time-of-use tariff so most of the energy is the cheap rate. Heat pump output is sized properly so we no longer have rooms that struggle to warm up. Cannot fault the install team.”
IIan P.
Bishop Auckland
Paying next to nothing for electricity now
“Had solar panels and a battery fitted in February. By summer we were barely using any grid electricity at all. The monitoring app is great — you can see exactly what the panels are generating and where the energy is going.”
