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.

HS Energy were amazing at helping me when I moved into my new home and needed to transfer my FIT contract with EDF. They helped me enormously putting together all the information I needed. They also gave me really helpful support in learning about the system I had inherited which was quite baffling. I have found them to be responsive, professional and helpful.

The level of service from Home Smart Energy has been awesome. Spoken at length to Leo from very helpful technical service team. I purchased 14 solar panels and 3 batteries. System is working really well but the level of past sales support has been so good e.g. resetting the system so batteries charge at certain times to benefit from better overnight tariffs with Octopus energy (who are also very good). I would definitely recommend Home Smart Energy and will be using them to install charging equipment for when we get an EV.

In the past I have had some small issues with Home Smart, not being the easiest of companies to deal with. But, in recent years, this has changed. The last couple of times I have had contact with them have been much improved. Yesterday was the icing on the cake. I had problems with my solar panel system that had been installed by them several years ago and it was not 'talking' to the app on my phone. I ventured into the loft, hoping to see an obvious reason for this, but no. I was definitely out of my comfort zone. Lights of various colours and stages of illumination, knobs, switches and wired connections all showed in front of me. Not knowing what to do and where to start, I rang Home Smart. Kai was so patient and understanding. He explained every step that I needed to take (even when I needed to do some steps repeatedly). It was a long process, probably my inefficiency, but Kai suggested it may need time to reset so I left it overnight. The following day, it was still not working so I called again. Once again, Kai talked me through the process and investigated other things that cropped up. This time it was successful. He also took the time to explain why it was better to use a different app and and what the app could show me. I now have a solar system that is working well and talking to my phone, thanks to Kai.
