Solar & battery
Solar and battery storage that works with your EV
Generate your own electricity, store what you don't use, and charge the car from the sun. MCS-certified installs designed as one joined-up energy system — not three separate add-ons.
What's included
- Roof survey, shading analysis and a system designed for your usage
- MCS-certified solar PV with a quality inverter and monitoring
- Home battery sized to your evening and overnight demand
- Integration with EV charging so the car can prioritise solar
- Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) registration so you're paid for what you export
- DNO notification and full MCS certification
Solar, battery and an EV charger are far more powerful together than apart. Panels generate during the day, a battery holds what you don’t use, and the car becomes a load you can fill from your own roof — or from cheap overnight power your battery has banked.
We design the three as one system from the start, so you’re not left trying to bolt a battery onto an undersized array two years later.
Designed around your usage, not a sales target
Good solar design starts with your actual half-hourly consumption, your roof’s orientation and any shading. We size the array and battery to maximise the energy you use yourself — that’s what drives the real saving — and we quote expected generation honestly rather than with optimistic headline figures.
Certified, and paid for what you export
Every installation is MCS certified, which is what qualifies you for Smart Export Guarantee payments and protects your warranties. We register you for SEG so the power you send back to the grid earns you money, and we handle the DNO notification.
Ready for the way you’ll use energy next
With a smart tariff, your battery can charge from the grid when power is cheapest and your EV can prioritise solar surplus. We set all of this up so the system quietly does the right thing without you having to manage it.
How the install works
- 01
Design survey
We assess roof orientation, shading and your half-hourly usage to size the array and battery correctly.
- 02
Proposal
A clear proposal with expected generation, self-consumption and payback — no inflated savings figures.
- 03
Installation
Scaffold, mount, wire and commission, typically in one to two days with a tidy finish.
- 04
Register & monitor
We complete MCS certification, register you for SEG payments and set up monitoring.
Frequently asked questions
Can I charge my EV from solar?
Yes — that's where the system really pays. We integrate the charger so it can top up the car preferentially from surplus solar, and a battery lets you store daytime generation to charge overnight.
Do I need an MCS-certified installer?
For SEG export payments and for the work to count toward property value and warranties, yes. We're MCS certified, so your installation qualifies.
Is there really no VAT?
Domestic solar and battery storage are zero-rated for VAT in the UK until 31 March 2027. We show the saving clearly on your quote.
What happens in a power cut?
A standard battery shuts down in an outage for safety. If whole-home backup matters to you, we can specify a battery and inverter that islands part of your home — just ask during the survey.
