Solar Panels & Battery Storage

Solar PV and battery storage work together to give you complete control over your energy. Generate free electricity during the day, store the surplus in your battery for the evening, and dramatically reduce your reliance on the grid. Paired with a heat pump, you can run your heating on your own energy.

The Ultimate Energy Independence Combo

A heat pump saves you money by being 3x more efficient than a boiler. Solar panels take it further—they generate the electricity your heat pump uses. Battery storage lets you run everything on your own power, even at night.

The Result: Complete energy independence + maximum savings potential

Monthly Energy Flow
Summer Scenario:

Morning: Solar generates 20kWh → Midday: Excess power stores in battery (5kWh) → Evening: Use battery for heating + electricity → Night: Grid tops up if needed

Winter Scenario:

Solar generates lower amounts → Battery stores what it can → Heat pump uses combination of solar + battery + grid → Minimize grid imports

Battery Storage Benefits

Time Shift Your Power

Problem: Solar generates electricity during day, but you use most energy evening/night.

Solution: Battery stores daytime solar. You use it evening/night. Reduce grid imports by 60-70%.

Maximize Your ROI

Without Battery: Excess solar is wasted or sold cheaply (5p/kWh via SEG)

With Battery: You use 80%+ of what you generate (saves 25p/kWh in avoided grid purchases)

Result: Battery pays for itself in 8-10 years

Smart Controls

  • Smartphone app monitors generation, storage, consumption real-time
  • Automatic optimization (charge/discharge patterns)
  • Predictive algorithms (weather-based)
  • Integration with heat pump

Energy Security

  • Battery provides backup power during grid outages
  • Keeps essentials running (heating, fridge, lighting)
  • Peace of mind included

Frequently Asked Questions

Depends on your usage and roof space. Typical residential: 4-6kW (12-16 panels). South-facing roofs ideal but east/west also works. We assess your property and recommend the right system size.

Not required, but highly recommended. Without battery, excess solar is wasted or sold cheaply (5p/kWh). With battery, you use 80%+ of generated power (saves 25p/kWh). Battery typically pays for itself within 8-10 years.

Solar still generates on cloudy days (just less than sunny days). UK solar produces 10-15% of annual generation on cloudy/winter days. Battery stores whatever is generated.

2-3 days typically. Panels mounted, inverter installed, battery positioned, wiring completed, system tested.

Yes. Panels: 25-year manufacturer warranty. Battery: 10-year warranty. Inverter: 10 years. Plus our extended labour guarantee.
