π What does a home battery actually do?
Simple version: it saves your solar for later. π
βοΈ Daytime: panels generate, the house uses what it needs, the rest charges the battery
π Evening: panels wind down, you run on what you stored
π Result: more of your own electricity used by you, less bought back from the grid
Exporting pays a bit, but never as much as buying it back costs. So using your own is where the value is. π·
There is no one-size battery. π It is matched to how your home actually uses power. π±
π¬ Wondering if storage is worth it for you? Ask the team.

π Is your home ready for winter? βοΈ
Dark by five, heating on, everyone indoors. π Winter is when your home uses the most electricity. π
βοΈ Solar PV still generates through autumn and winter, just less than in summer
π A battery saves that daytime generation for the long evening peak
π‘ Together they help you lean on the grid a little less when it costs the most
You do not need bright skies for it to be worth it, just a system that fits how your home runs. π±

π±βοΈ Installation spotlight: large-scale farm solar
216 panels. 116.64kWp. One working Gloucestershire farm. π
β‘ 216 solar panels
π 116.64kWp total capacity
π Solis 11kW 3-phase inverter
Farms run machinery, refrigeration, workshops and lighting all day, right when the panels are generating. π So a lot of that clean electricity gets used on site, as it is made.
A system this big is designed around the property: roof space, layout, electrical supply, the lot. ποΈ

βοΈ Does solar still work in October? β
Short answer: yes.
Your panels need daylight, not sunshine. π€οΈ So here is what really changes in winter π
π Shorter days, less generating time
βοΈ Cloudy skies lower output, but not to zero
π‘οΈ Cold is fine, panels like cool weather
π A battery holds the daytime surplus for the evening
Generation dips in winter and climbs back in spring. That is the rhythm, not a fault. π±
π¬ Thinking about solar before next summer? Ask us what yours would do year-round.

π· "How much will I save?" βοΈ
Every home is different, but here is what actually decides it π
π How much electricity you use, and when
βοΈ The size of your system
π Roof orientation, pitch and shading
π Whether you have battery storage
β‘ Your electricity tariff
β
How much of your own solar you use yourself
That last one matters most. The more of your own electricity you use at home, the better your numbers look. π±
Typical saving on electricity bills? Somewhere between 40 and 70%. Where you land is down to the six above.
π¬ Want a proper figure for your home? Ask us.

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±
