Cutting Your Electricity Bill, Not Just Your Roof Space

Solar panels only pay for themselves if the system is sized correctly for how a household actually uses electricity — not just how much roof space is available.

We assess your roof orientation, pitch and any shading before recommending a system size, and talk through whether battery storage makes sense for your household — it usually does if you're often out during the day and using more electricity in the evening, since a battery lets you use the solar power you generated earlier rather than exporting it for a lower rate.

As electricians first, our focus is on the part of a solar installation that's easiest to get wrong: the electrical connection, isolation, metering and any consumer unit changes needed. We work to manufacturers' specifications throughout, and to current wiring regulations.

If you're also considering an EV charger, we can plan the solar, battery and charger installation together, since a well-sized system can charge a car largely on generated power during the day or from stored battery power overnight.

Solar PV & Battery Storage, Done Properly

☀️

Site Assessment

Roof orientation, pitch, shading from trees or neighbouring buildings, and your existing consumer unit are all checked before we recommend a system.

  • Roof survey and shading assessment
  • System sized to your actual usage
  • Battery storage recommendation if it stacks up
🔋

Battery Storage

A battery stores solar power generated during the day for use in the evening, and can also charge from a cheap overnight electricity tariff if you’re on one.

  • Sized to typical evening/night usage
  • Compatible with most panel systems
  • Backup power options on some battery models
🔧

Installation & Wiring

The electrical side of a solar installation — isolators, metering, consumer unit changes and the connection itself — is carried out by our in-house electricians, not subcontracted out.

  • AC and DC isolation to current regulations
  • Generation meter installation
  • Consumer unit changes where required
📄

Paperwork & Grid Notification

Solar installations need to be registered with your electricity network operator, and — if you want to sell excess power back to the grid — with a Smart Export Guarantee supplier.

  • DNO notification for the installation
  • Export documentation to support SEG applications
  • Clear handover of how the system works

Frequently Asked Questions

Is solar still worth it in 2026?

For most homes with a suitably oriented roof and reasonable daytime electricity usage, yes — rising electricity prices have shortened payback periods compared to a few years ago. It depends on your roof, your usage pattern and whether battery storage is included, which is exactly what we assess at the site visit.

Do I need battery storage as well as panels?

Not necessarily. If you’re mostly out during the day, a battery lets you use more of the power your panels generate rather than exporting it at a lower rate. If you’re home and using electricity during daylight hours, panels alone may be enough.

Will solar panels work on my roof?

South-facing roofs perform best, but east- and west-facing roofs still generate a worthwhile amount of power. North-facing and heavily shaded roofs are the main cases where solar doesn’t make financial sense — we’ll tell you honestly if that’s the case for your property.

Can I sell excess electricity back to the grid?

Yes, through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) — you’ll need an SEG tariff from an energy supplier, and we provide the installation documentation needed to apply.
