Solar panels combined with a solar storage battery are a convenient and cost-effective way to power (fuel) your electric vehicle (EV). An array of between 6 to 12 solar panels should do it for you. The more the better really when you consider the ever increasing cost of petrol and your home’s utility bill. As of March 2022, this is looking horrendous.
These two expenses alone should be the catalyst for you to contact us for your FREE feasibility study and quotation. Speak to one of our energy advisors today – no charge (excuse the pun!)

Producing your own electricity from a renewable or low-carbon source, such as solar panels, can be a real winner when it comes to energy efficiency.
Although it comes at a cost, you could also get money from your energy supplier.
We live with increased air pollution, climate change and fewer fossil fuels.
Solar PV & Solar Storage Batteries makes sense even without the excellent financial return.
The Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) supplied data showing that an average household will only use between 35 – 50% of the electricity they produce from their PV system without a battery.
When a solar storage battery is also installed, they showed that self-consumption can be as high as 80%!
The daytime power needs of a home will be met by the PV system, while the night-time energy requirements will be fulfilled by the battery. In particular this energy is often used to heat the household water via a Solar Assisted Heat Pump.
The system will also help the grid stabilise itself.
If you are looking for a suitable system for your home, you should start by researching the different types of solar battery storage systems.
We offer free feasibility studies to help you make the right choice.
A solar storage battery system can help homeowners manage their power consumption. Many solar-powered
homes produce more electricity than they use. This excess solar energy will simply go into the power grid and
if you have a smart-meter/export-meter, you’ll receive between 1.0p and 7.5p per kWh from your utility supplier
according to their Smart Export Guarantee Tariff.
Using the data from the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) – the average household will only use between 35%-50%
of the electricity they produce, the rest going back into the grid.
The same household with a solar battery storage system installed will use around 80% of the electricity they produce. Many of our energy conscious customer’s use 100% of their self-generated electricity by heating their household water via our Solar Assisted Heat Pump Systems overnight.
As of February 2022, not having to buy so much from your energy supplier (27.0p per kWh’ish) will lessen the blow of the impending £693 energy price cap that’s coming our way soon! ***UPDATE March 2022*** We’re looking at another increase in October 2022
