Solar PV
Panels on your roof generate electricity through the day, reducing what you buy from the grid.
Home solar panels,
installed with care.
For more than 14 years we have helped UK homeowners reduce their electricity bills and rely less on the grid. Solar PV, battery storage, EV charging and smart tariffs, designed as one home energy system and installed by our own MCS-certified team.

01. Who this page is for
One home energy system,
One home energy system,
not four separate gadgets.
This page is for UK homeowners who want to pay less for electricity, rely less on the grid and prepare their home for electric heating, an electric car and time-of-use tariffs.
Solar panels generate electricity during the day. A battery stores what you do not use, so you can run the house from it in the evening and top it up on cheaper overnight rates. An EV charger puts that energy into your car. A smart tariff sets when the system imports, stores and exports. Designed together, the four work far better than any one of them on its own.
The same in-house team designs your system, installs it, deals with the paperwork and maintains it afterwards. Anything you install now is planned so that a battery, charger or heat pump can be added later without starting again.
02. How it works together
Generate. Store. Charge.
Generate. Store. Charge.
Optimise.
Start with the part that matters most to you and add the rest when you are ready. Every system we design leaves room for the next step.
Battery storage
Surplus daytime generation is stored for the evening, and the battery can also charge on cheaper overnight rates.
EV charging
A solar-linked home charger sends surplus generation into your car rather than exporting it to the grid.
Smart tariffs
A smart import and export tariff tells the system when to buy, when to store and when to export.

Six home energy services from one accountable installer. Each has its own page with the full detail.
01
Service 01 · Generate
Solar PV
Solar panels for pitched and flat roofs, designed around your roof, any shading and how you use electricity rather than sold as a standard package. An MCS-certified installation makes you eligible for Smart Export Guarantee payments.
- Pitched, flat and in-roof systems
- MCS certified, SEG ready
- DNO notification handled
- 0% VAT currently on home installs
02
Service 02 · Store
Battery Storage
Store the electricity your panels generate and use it when you need it. A home battery covers evening demand, can charge on cheaper overnight rates and, with the right set-up, can keep essential circuits running in a power cut.
- Retrofit to existing solar or new install
- Tesla Powerwall certified installer
- Smart tariff optimisation
- Backup power options
03
Service 03 · Charge
EV Charging
Smart, solar-linked home chargers installed by our own NICEIC-approved electricians. Charge from your roof when the sun is out and in cheaper overnight tariff windows when it is not.
- 7 kW home chargers
- Solar diversion ready
- OZEV approved installer
- Tariff-aware scheduling

Service 04 · Optimise
Smart Tariffs
Solar and storage do most for you on a tariff designed for them. As an Octopus Energy Trusted Partner we set systems up around smart import and export tariffs, so your battery charges when electricity is cheaper and exports when the rate is better.
- Octopus Energy Trusted Partner
- Smart import & export tariffs
- Tariff information when you need it

08. Homeowner FAQs
Questions homeowners
Questions homeowners
often ask us.
Straight answers from our UK design team.
Still have a question?0330 043 1047How much could I save, and how quickly does it pay back?
It depends on your roof, how much electricity you use and when, and the tariff you are on. Rather than quote a general figure, your free feasibility study works out an estimated system size, savings forecast, carbon reduction estimate and indicative return from your own consumption.
Is 0% VAT still available on solar and batteries?
Yes, currently. HMRC's energy-saving materials relief means solar PV and battery storage installed in homes in Great Britain are zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027. This does not cover EV chargers.
Can I add a battery or EV charger later?
Yes. Every system we design leaves room for the next step, so you can start with solar and add storage, an EV charger or a smart tariff when you are ready. We also retrofit batteries to existing solar systems, including ones we did not install.
Do you work with smart tariffs such as Octopus?
Yes. We are an Octopus Energy Trusted Partner and design solar and battery systems to work with smart import and export tariffs. You switch tariff with your energy supplier yourself, and we can give you the information you need.
Do I need planning permission?
Most rooftop solar on houses is permitted development, so planning permission is not usually needed. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some flat-roof or ground-mounted systems may need consent, and we advise on this at survey.
Is my roof suitable for solar panels?
Most pitched and flat roofs can take solar. Orientation, pitch, shading, available area and the condition of the roof all affect the design, and our own engineer checks each of them at the home survey before we quote.
What is the Smart Export Guarantee?
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) means licensed electricity suppliers pay you for the electricity you export to the grid. Payments are based on metered export, each supplier sets its own rate, and systems up to 50 kW need MCS certification to qualify. You apply to your chosen supplier using the MCS certificate we give you.
Do I need permission from the network operator?
Smaller systems are usually connected first and then notified to your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) under G98. Larger systems need a G99 application approved by the DNO before connection. We confirm which applies at design stage and handle the paperwork.
How do I monitor my system?
We set up the monitoring app for your inverter or battery at handover, so you can see generation, storage, import and export on your phone. We show you how to use it before we leave.
Do you sell my details to third parties?
No. We are not a lead broker. Every enquiry goes only to our in-house UK team, and we never sell your details.
