How Solar Energy Flows Through Your Home.

Sunlight

Free, renewable energy captured by your solar panels.

Inverter

Converts DC from panels into AC power for your home.

Battery

Stores excess energy to use later or at night.

Home/Grid

Powers your home and exports surplus back to the grid.

The Right Solution For You

Solar PV

Generate your own clean electricity through the day to slash daytime usage and export surplus for payment.

  • Roof-specific array design (orientation, shading, structure)
  • premium-quality inverters and high-efficiency PV modules
  • Optional battery now or later

Battery Storage (incl. Standalone)

Charge with cheap off-peak electricity (or your daytime solar) and use it when prices peak. Works with or without solar panels.

  • Time-of-Use ready (overnight charging)
  • Peak-shaving to reduce expensive demand spikes
  • Ideal for EV owners and smart-tariff users
  • Typical battery payback 6–7 years depending on use and tariff
  • Profit from the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).

Partnering with leading brands such as EcoFlow, Solis, Sunsync, and Hanchu ESS, chosen according to system size, location, and budget.

How It Works

Book Survey

Desktop assessment followed by onsite survey where needed: electrics, roof, cable routes, and load checks.

Fixed Quote

Plain-English quote with system design, expected performance, warranties, and a simple ROI outline.

Installation

Accredited team install, test, and commission to MCS standards; tidy runs and labeling

Setup & Aftercare

App walk-through, tariff guidance (off-peak & export), and support documents, certificates & warranties.

Smart tariffs, EVs & saving more

Charge cheap, use peak

Daytime solar powers your home first, then charges the battery; surplus exports to the grid.

Smart solar usage

Fill the battery during the day and automatically draw from it during high-rate periods.

EV charging savings

Schedule EV charging from your battery or directly from off-peak grid power to cut running costs.

Energy resilience

Hybrid inverters can power essential circuits during outages (when specified with EPS).

Savings and payback depend on usage, system size, tariff, and export rate. We model this for you in your proposal.

FAQs

What is a solar battery storage system?

A battery stores surplus solar or cheap off-peak grid electricity and releases it when you need it—reducing imports at expensive times and increasing self-consumption.

Do I need a battery with my solar panels?

No, but most households see greater savings with one—especially if you’re on a Time-of-Use tariff or often out during the day.

Can I add a battery to my existing solar?

Yes. We can retrofit an A.C-coupled system depending on your current inverter and wiring.

How do you size the solar and battery system?

We size the PV system by roof capability (orientation, structure, shading) and factor in your annual kWh usage. Batteries are sized to match your evening and overnight consumption.

What savings and payback can I expect?

Typical battery payback is around 6–7 years for suitable usage and tariffs. Solar adds further savings and the ability to profit from the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). We include a personalised ROI in your proposal.

How long does installation take?

Usually 1–2 days for battery-only systems or 2–3 days for full solar + battery installs, depending on system size, cable routes, and access.

What warranties do you offer?

Inverters and batteries: up to 15 years with market-leading manufacturers (EcoFlow typically 10–12 years). Panels: performance warranties up to 25 years. All M.E.S installations include Insurance Backed Guarantees (IBGs).

Which brands do you install?

We recommend equipment based on system size, location, and budget—partnering with EcoFlow, Solis, Sunsync, and Hanchu ESS, among others. All offer proven reliability, efficiency, and aftersales support.

Can the system work during a power cut?

Only if specified with an EPS/backup function and essential circuits. Standard grid-tied systems automatically shut down during outages for safety.

Can I sell energy back to the grid?

Yes. Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can export unused energy at peak rates, providing additional income from your system.

Are solar batteries environmentally friendly?

Yes. Modern lithium batteries are efficient and long-lived, with manufacturers offering recycling pathways. More importantly, they help reduce grid demand during peak hours.

Do you help with tariffs and app setup?

Yes. We help set up your EcoFlow app integration, off-peak charging schedules, and guide you through the best import/export tariffs for your usage.
