OVERVIEW

Solar panels alone typically cover 30–50% of a household's electricity. Add a battery and the surplus you generate in the day powers your home through the evening and overnight. We design every system around your roof, your usage and your budget, from compact 3.5kWh batteries to 10kWh+ whole-home storage.

SOLAR + BATTERY

Why add a battery to your solar?

Panels generate most between 10am and 3pm, often when you're out. Without a battery, that surplus is exported for a small payment. With one, you keep it for the evening.

Modern lithium batteries are safe, silent and compact, losing less than 5% of energy per cycle. Every kWh you store is one you don't buy at 24–30p.

✓Increase self-consumption from around 40% to 70–90%
✓Use your own electricity in the evening and overnight
✓Charge from the grid on cheap off-peak tariffs
✓Power selected circuits in a power cut (compatible systems)
✓Protect yourself against future price rises
✓Maximise your Smart Export Guarantee income

Yes, in most cases. We survey your installation to find a compatible battery. Sometimes the inverter needs replacing with a hybrid inverter, which is a straightforward upgrade.

Most lithium iron phosphate batteries are warranted for 6,000 cycles or 10 years, with 70–80% capacity guaranteed at the end. In practice they last 12–15 years in homes.

Some hybrid inverters, including Sunsynk and Fox ESS, offer backup to selected circuits. It must be set up during installation, and we can advise if it suits you.

You need an MCS certified installation and a smart meter. All our installs are MCS certified, and we guide you through SEG registration at handover.

Usually 2–3 days on site. From survey to switch-on is generally 4–8 weeks, including DNO notification with Electricity North West, which we handle.
