One connected energy plan

Make more of every
unit of electricity.

Solar panels generate clean electricity at home. A battery moves energy from when it is available or cheaper to when you need it. Smart EV charging helps schedule a major household load.

The numbers, made clearer

What could your
solar savings
look like?

Start with your electricity bill or usage, monthly or yearly. We’ll suggest a solar and battery size that grows with your needs.

  • Use your electricity spend or kWh
  • See a suggested panel and battery size
  • Compare bill savings and export income
How we calculated this

Spend is converted to usage using your import rate after deducting the standing charge. Use electricity only, excluding gas; direct debits may differ from actual consumption. Annual kWh from your bill gives a better starting point.

The starting array targets your annual demand at an assumed 850 kWh per kWp, rounded up to whole 400 W panels, with a minimum of four panels. Battery capacity starts at 5 kWh and increases by 5 kWh per 4,000 kWh of annual demand. These are illustrative sizing rules, subject to roof space, shading, your usage pattern and a survey.

Direct solar use is limited to 35% of generation or household demand. Solar charging is limited to 35% of generation, remaining demand and 300 times battery capacity per year, with 90% delivered to the home. Remaining generation is exported. This simplified model is not an hourly simulation or MCS estimate. It excludes installation costs, finance, maintenance, degradation and grid charging. Standing charges remain payable; savings are not guaranteed.

Subject to roof space and a home survey.

Estimated annual electricity saving

An estimate, not an MCS performance estimate or financial guarantee. Your actual savings will vary with how much electricity you use and when you use it, your import and export tariffs, roof orientation, shading, weather and how your solar panels and battery perform. A home survey and review of your electricity bills will help us provide a more tailored estimate.

Bill savings cannot exceed your electricity usage charges. Standing charges remain payable. Export income is separate: a larger system may earn more from exports than you spend on electricity, subject to your tariff and agreed export limit.

Adjust tariff and generation assumptions

Editable example rates, not a live tariff offer. A battery can be less worthwhile when export rates are high. An average month is assumed for monthly figures.

More solar advice
Should I choose solar panels on their own or add a battery?

Solar panels can reduce the electricity you buy without a battery. Storage can shift surplus generation into the evening. The right choice depends on your usage pattern, tariff, budget and export rate.

Can I install a home battery without solar panels?

Yes. A suitable battery can charge from the grid during a cheaper off-peak period and supply your home when electricity is more expensive. This is often called tariff arbitrage. Savings depend on the tariff gap, charging losses, battery life and installation cost.

Can solar panels charge my electric car?

Yes, with a suitable EV charger. A solar-aware charger can vary charging to follow available surplus generation, while smart scheduling can make use of suitable off-peak tariffs.

Can you service a system installed by another company?

We can help with many solar PV, battery storage and solar thermal systems installed by other companies, subject to condition, compatible equipment and parts availability.

Will a battery keep my home running in a power cut?

Only if the equipment and installation are specifically designed for backup. Tell us if backup is a priority so it can be included in the design.

How much will I save?

It depends on your roof, electricity use, equipment and import and export rates. Your proposal will use a property-specific design and explain the assumptions. Standing charges usually remain.
