FAQs

How do solar systems work for residential properties?

Solar systems capture sunlight through photovoltaic panels, converting it into electricity to power your home. Excess energy can be stored in batteries or sold back into the grid.

What are the benefits of installing a solar system for my home?

Installing a solar system can significantly reduce your energy bills, increase your energy independence, and reduce your carbon footprint by using clean, renewable energy.

How long does it take to install a solar system?

Installation times vary depending on system size and complexity but typically range from a few days to a couple of weeks.

What maintenance is required for a solar system?

Solar systems require minimal maintenance, mainly consisting of occasional cleaning to remove dust and debris from the panels to ensure optimal performance.

Can I still use electricity from the grid with a solar system installed?

Yes, solar systems can be designed to work in conjunction with the grid, allowing your home to draw electricity from the grid when solar production is insufficient, such as during the night or cloudy weather.

Our battery storage solutions allow you to store excess energy generated by your solar system for use during peak demand times or grid outages. With backup power when you need it, you can enhance energy resilience, reduce reliance on the grid, and maximize cost savings.

Key Benefits:

  • Enhanced energy resilience
  • Reduced grid reliance
  • Maximized cost savings

FAQs

How does battery storage complement a solar system?

Battery storage solutions store excess energy generated by your solar panels for use during times of high demand or when the sun isn't shining, maximizing self-consumption and reducing reliance on the grid.

What size battery storage system do I need for my home?

The size of the battery storage system depends on factors such as your energy usage, the size of your solar system, and your backup power needs.

How long can a battery storage system provide backup power?

The backup power duration depends on the size of the battery storage system and your energy usage but typically ranges from a few hours to several days.

Are there any government incentives for installing battery storage?

Yes, battery installations have been exempt from VAT since February 2024. Also, depending on your location, there may be additional government incentives, tax credits, or rebates available for installing battery storage systems. These incentives can help offset the initial investment and make battery storage more affordable for businesses.

Can battery storage systems be integrated with existing solar installations?

Yes, battery storage systems can be integrated with existing solar installations to enhance energy independence and resilience. Proper design and installation ensure seamless integration and optimal performance of both systems together.

Are battery storage systems safe for residential use?

Yes, modern battery storage systems are designed with safety features such as thermal regulation and overload protection to ensure safe operation in residential settings.

FAQs

How do EV charging points work for residential use?

EV charging points supply electricity to charge electric vehicles at home, typically using either Level 1 (standard household outlet) or Level 2 (dedicated charging station) charging.

What types of EV charging points are available for residential use?

Residential EV charging points come in various types, including Level 1 chargers that plug into a standard outlet and Level 2 chargers that require a dedicated circuit installation.

How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle at home?

Charging times vary depending on the vehicle's battery size and the charging speed of the EV charging point, but a full charge typically takes several hours.

Can I install an EV charging point at my home if I don't have a garage?

Yes, EV charging points can be installed in driveways or carports, provided there is access to electricity and suitable space for installation.

Can I use an EV charging point with any electric vehicle model?

Yes, most EV charging points are compatible with all major electric vehicle models, including plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles. However, it's essential to ensure that the charging point you select meets the charging specifications of your specific vehicle to ensure compatibility and optimal charging performance.
