Voice of experience
Since its formation in 1992, NAPIT says that it has successfully developed into a dynamic group
of companies with a range of products. These include solar PV, solar thermal, ground/air source
heat pumps, biomass, wind turbines, micro CHP (co-generation) and small-scale hydroelectricity
technologies.
NAPIT adds that its team also holds a fast-growing Competent Person register of
installers who can self-certify their work. As part of NAPIT’s ‘complete solution’, no external
inspections are ever required as all its installers are able to self-certify works throughout the
microgeneration, electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation sectors.
