How much does solar PV save on electricity bills?
A well-sized solar system in England typically saves £600–£1,100 per year, with payback in 5–8 years. Pairing it with a battery lifts self-consumption from around 35% to over 75%.
What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme heat pump grant worth?
The UK Government Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) offers £7,500 towards an air source heat pump installation — rising to £9,000 for homes currently heated by oil or LPG. It does not need repaying and your installer applies on your behalf.
Do I need solar panels to benefit from a battery?
Not necessarily. On smart time-of-use tariffs a battery can charge overnight at cheap rates and discharge at peak times, generating savings through tariff arbitrage alone.
Can I pay for my installation on finance?
Yes — most of our customers spread the cost with finance options, so monthly repayments are often offset by the energy savings from day one. We cover this in your free quote.
How long does an installation take?
Most installations are completed in 2–3 days. A straightforward solar PV system is often done in a day or two; heat pumps typically take 2–3 days including any hot water cylinder work.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
Usually not — most domestic solar installations fall under permitted development rights. Exceptions apply for listed buildings and some conservation areas, which we check as part of your survey.
Do you install across all of England?
Yes. Our certified engineers cover all of England, and every job starts with a real survey of your property rather than a quote over the phone.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
In most cases, yes. An AC-coupled battery works alongside almost any existing solar installation, and modern stackable systems from 5–60 kWh let you start small and expand later. We confirm inverter compatibility during your survey.
