In summary, you capture sunlight with solar panels. The panels are installed with an inverter that transforms the electricity from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), converting it into electricity that can be used to power homes, businesses, and various electrical devices. Excess electricity can be sent to the grid, and batteries can store surplus power for use at night or during cloudy periods. This sustainable energy source is environmentally friendly and reduces reliance on fossil fuels, making it a crucial component of clean energy solutions.

Battery storage is an optional but valuable component of a solar power system that depends on your individual goals and circumstances. Here’s a close look at when battery storage may be beneficial;

Energy Independence; If you aim to reduce your reliance on the grid and achieve a higher level of energy independence, battery storage can be a good choice. It allows you to store excess electricity generated during the day for use at night or during cloudy periods, reducing your dependence on grid power.

Backup Power: Some battery storage systems can serve as backup power sources during grid outages. In the event of a blackout, you can continue to power essential appliances and maintain basic comforts, ensuring your family’s safety and convenience.

Optimizing Self-Consumption: Battery storage allows you to maximise self-consumption of the solar energy you generate. Instead of sending excess energy back to the grid, you can store it for later use, further increasing your energy efficiency.

Time-of-Use Savings: When using split tariffs, batteries can help you save money. You can store energy during off- peak periods when rates are lower, and utilise it during peak-rate hours, leading to reduced electricity expenses. 

Environmental impact Battery storage can play a role in adopting a greener way of living. When you utilise stored solar energy instead of relying on grid power, you’re actively reducing your carbon footprint and decreasing dependence on non-renewable energy sources.”

Ultimately, the decision to include battery storage in your solar system depends on your energy goals, budget, and location. To determine if it’s the right choice for you, please feel free to schedule a call with one of our technical team.

In most cases, you do not need planning permission in the UK for solar panels. The installation of solar panels is typically considered a ‘permitted development’ and is subject to certain conditions and limits. However, it’s important to ensure that the installation complies with these conditions and does not significantly alter the appearance of your property. If your property is located in a conservation area, is a listed building, a flat roof or has additional restrictions, it is likely that you will need to apply for planning permissions.

Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on a cloudy day. While their energy production is highest in direct sunlight, modern solar panels are designed to capture diffuse sunlight and can generate power even when the sky is overcast. While the energy output may be lower on cloudy days compared to sunny ones, your solar system can still contribute to your electricity needs, making it a valuable investment in the UK’s climate.

We conduct a structural survey for solar PV installations where appropriate specifically on non-truss roofs to assess their suitability. This step is essential to guarantee the safety and longevity of your solar system and is included within the cost we provide.

G99 When the inverter capacity for a solar installation exceeds 3.68kW, a G99 DNO application is necessary. This application must be submitted and approved before we can proceed with the installation. In some cases, grid upgrades may be needed to facilitate the installation, and there could be associated costs. We will inform you if such upgrades are required, ensuring you have all the information needed to make an informed decision.

G98 A G98 application serves as a post-installation notification to the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) for solar PV systems with inverters of 3.68kW or less. In cases where the inverter capacity is 3.68kW or less, there’s no need to seek pre-installation authorization; the G98 notification is submitted after the installation is completed.

Yes, we are registered with the MCS and RECC for both solar PV and battery storage.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is a UK government scheme that allows owners of small-scale renewable energy systems to earn money by exporting surplus electricity back to the grid. Under SEG, eligible households and businesses receive competitive payments for their excess energy, promoting renewable energy adoption while providing financial rewards.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments vary based on your energy supplier and your export volume. Contact your energy provider for specific rates and calculate potential earnings with your export meter. Currently rates are ranging from 2p to 15p per kWh.
