Solar Panels & Battery Storage Systems
Solar panels generate free electricity from daylight, and a battery storage system lets you use that generation around the clock — overnight, on cloudy days and during grid outages. We install and commission solar PV systems and battery storage units, including high-performance systems using Victron Energy equipment for clients who want true energy independence or resilience.
The electrical side of a solar installation is critical: the connection between panels, inverter, battery and the property's consumer unit must be correctly designed, sized and protected. We handle the full electrical installation and commissioning so the system performs as specified from day one.

Solar panels questions, answered
What is a battery storage system?
A battery that stores surplus solar generation (or off-peak grid electricity) so you can use it when the sun isn't shining — overnight, on overcast days or during a power cut. It significantly increases the value of a solar installation.
What is the Victron system I see in your photos?
Victron Energy make high-end inverters, charge controllers and battery management systems used in professional off-grid and hybrid installations. Their equipment is specified for clients who need genuine energy independence or robust backup power.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
Most domestic solar installations in England are permitted development and don't need planning permission. We advise on any property-specific restrictions before the job starts.
How long does a solar and battery installation take?
A standard residential system is typically a one to two day job for the electrical work, depending on complexity. We give you a clear programme before starting.
