π Installation Spotlight βοΈπ
Out with the old, in with the new. This roof had a decommissioned solar thermal system on it, doing nothing at all. π«
Here is what replaced it π
βοΈ 6.51kWp Solar PV
π Tesla Powerwall 3
β‘ Tesla Backup Gateway
Now the home generates its own electricity, stores the surplus for the evening, and has backup power for eligible outages. π
Got an older system that has given up? It might be time. π¬ Message the team.

βοΈ "My roof is not right for solar." π€ Usually, it is.
There is no one-size-fits-all here. Different roofs, different fixings. π
π© Slate and tiled, each with their own mounting system
π Standing seam, clamped without piercing the sheet
βοΈ On-roof or in-roof, sitting above the tiles or flush into them
πΏ No roof that works? Ground-mounted is an option
Shading is less of a problem than it used to be, too. Optimisers let each panel do its own thing. β‘
Swipe through to see a few of them fitted. π
π¬ Not sure about yours? Send us a photo of your roof and we will point you in the right direction.

β‘2am electricity is not the same price as 6pm electricity π·
That is a smart tariff in one line. Different rates at different times of day. π
Why it matters if you have solar and a battery π
π Charge the battery overnight when power is cheapest
βοΈ Run on your own solar through the day
π Use the stored cheap power through the evening peak
π° Get paid for what you export, through the Smart Export Guarantee
There is no one best tariff. It depends on your home, your usage and your system. π±
π¬ Got solar and not sure your tariff is working for you? Ask us.

βοΈ Three days. That is usually all a solar install takes. π
Ever wondered what actually happens up there? π
1οΈβ£ Roof prepped, access up, mounting system fitted
2οΈβ£ Panels on, inverter in, everything wired back to your consumer unit
3οΈβ£ Tested, commissioned, certificate issuedβ
Then we show you how it all works, so you are not left guessing. π‘
And for most homes, no planning permission needed either. π±

πβ‘ Your battery could earn its keep overnight
Think a home battery just stores spare solar? βοΈ That`s the start, not the whole story.
Here`s what it actually does π
βοΈ Runs your home on daytime solar after dark
β‘ Charges up when grid electricity is cheapest
π· Can pay you back for exporting power
πΏ Cuts your bills and your carbon at once
The clever bit isn`t storing energy, it`s choosing when you use it. π‘
π¬ Wondering if the numbers work for your place? Drop us a message and the Forest Eco Systems team will run you through it. π

βοΈπ August = your panels` busiest month
The longest, sunniest days of the year are here, and that means one thing for solar homes across Gloucestershire: peak generation. π
Got a battery? β‘ You`re storing the summer surplus for winter.
Thinking about it? π€ This is the month to see what a system could really do.
βοΈ Generate more
π Store the extra
π· Lean on the grid less
Come see it working for yourself at our Huntley showroom, coffee included, and yes, it`s solar-powered. βπ

β‘π Planning a renewable install? Don`t forget your DNO application.
Whether it`s solar, battery storage, or a bigger system, your DNO (Distribution Network Operator) application is a step you can`t skip π
It decides:
π If you can connect to the grid
π What capacity you`re allowed
β±οΈ How quickly your system can go live
Demand is rising fast, so approvals can take time. The right installer stays on top of it from day one β
A good installer will:
β
Submit your DNO application early
β
Design around grid requirements
β
Keep you in the loop on timelines
We work closely with operators like National Grid to keep your project moving π±
π¬ Need a hand with the DNO process? Message us.
