What is battery storage?
Battery storage allows you to store any excess electricity generated from your solar panels for later use. There are several different styles and capacities of batteries, and our experts will recommend the most suitable option for your home. Some batteries allow you to draw electricity from the grid cheaply overnight and power your home throughout the day using your battery. Integrating batteries into your solar system will maximize overall savings and promote self-consumption.

Are solar panels suitable for my home?
There are several factors to consider before proceeding with a solar panel installation. It is essential to have a pitched roof space that can accommodate 4 panels or more. It is also critical that your roof receives enough sunlight throughout the day, making a north-facing roof unsuitable. Scaffolding is required for a solar installation, so enough space beneath this part of the building is important. Our experts will ensure that a solar installation is financially feasible for your home. High energy-using households will see the best return on investment due to reduced energy bills.
How much roof space do I need?
This depends on the amount of power you want to produce. The more Solar Panels, the more power produced. However, normally, installations produce a minimum of about 1kW peak power, which will require approximately 10 square metres of roof space.
Do solar panels need much maintenance?
Once we have installed your Solar Panels, we will leave you with details of the maintenance checks you will need to do occasionally.
Do I need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
Since the end of the ‘Feed-in Tariff,’ any property with a PV installation no longer needs an EPC. Solar PV owners can now be paid for their exported electricity by their energy supplier without the need for an EPC.
How does solar benefit the environment?
