Check your savings

Your home, powered by the sun. Day and night.

Solar panels and home batteries, supplied and fitted across London and surrounding areas. From two-panel balcony kits to full arrays.

Before sunrise, the battery runs your home.

It filled up overnight. Now it keeps the fridge, the lights and the first cup of tea going.

The sun's up. The panels take over.

Light falls on the panels and power flows into the house. The battery does less and less, then stops.

Spare sunshine fills the battery.

The home runs on the roof alone. What it does not need goes into the battery until it is full.

Battery full. The spare is sold to the grid.

Your energy supplier pays you for what you export, through the Smart Export Guarantee.

The car charges at full speed.

Mostly sunshine, a little from the battery and a small top-up from the grid: 7 kW, about 20 miles an hour.

Car's done. The sun refills the battery.

Forty miles added in two hours. Now the spare sunshine goes back into the battery.

Battery full again. The spare goes to the grid.

Until the sun drops, what the house does not use is sold to the grid.

Dusk. The battery steps in.

The sun is low and the kettle and microwave are on. The battery tops up what the panels cannot.

Night. All from the battery.

Lights and TV, all on sunshine stored earlier. Watch the battery go down.

Midnight: cheap electricity fills everything up.

On a low overnight rate the battery charges, and the 7 kW charger adds about 20 miles an hour to the car.

Ready for another day.

Both full. The battery runs the house again until the sun comes back.

Day: the panels take over, fill the battery, then charge the car at full speed.

From sunrise the panels supply the house and fill the battery by 11:30; the spare is sold until the car is home. Then the car charges at 7 kW: mostly sunshine, some from the battery and a small top-up from the grid, 40 miles in two hours.

After the car is done the spare sunshine refills the battery, then is sold until the sun drops. As the light fades and the kettle and microwave go on, the battery tops up what the panels cannot.

Loading the energy check…

One installer, every size of job.

From two panels on a balcony to a field of them, we supply it, fit it and look after you.

  • Balcony kits

    Two panels on a balcony, a wall or a shed roof. A simple first step for flats and smaller homes.

  • Home solar

    A rooftop system designed around your roof, and around how your household uses power through the day.

  • Large arrays

    Ground-mounted or large-roof arrays for farms, businesses and land, planned from survey to switch-on.

  • Home batteries

    Batteries from a range of makers, so you get the one that suits your home rather than one brand we are tied to.

  • Electric car charging

    A home charger that fills your car from your roof by day, or on a cheap rate overnight.

What the sun pays you back.

Solar earns its keep three ways: the power you use, the power you store and the power you sell.

Ask what it could do for you
  1. Free electricity

    Once the panels are up, the power they make costs nothing. Daylight keeps them working, even on cloudy days.

  2. Protection from price rises

    The more power you make yourself, the less a rise in electricity prices touches you.

  3. More of your own power, used

    A battery keeps daytime sunshine for the evening, and can fill up on a cheap night rate ready for the morning.

  4. Charge your car

    Sunshine is the cheapest fuel there is. Charge by day from the roof, or overnight on a low rate.

  5. Paid for what you export

    Power you do not use goes to the grid. Our installs are MCS certified, so through the Smart Export Guarantee your energy supplier pays you for it.

  • 0% VAT

    Solar panels and batteries fitted in homes pay no VAT until 31 March 2027.

  • Lower carbon

    Clean power from your own roof cuts your carbon footprint, year after year.

What solar could save you over 25 years.

Panels keep working for 25 years and more. Here is how the savings can build up for a typical home, and how a battery and an electric car make them grow.

Illustrative only, not a quote. Based on a 4 kWp system making about 3,400 kWh in its first year and 0.5% less each year after; electricity at 25p per kWh rising 3% a year; export paid at 15p per kWh; and 45%, 80%, 90% of the power used at home for each set-up in turn. Savings are before the cost of the system. Your own figures depend on your roof, where you live and how you use power; we work them out with you for free.
