Solar, a compact battery and a smart EV charger, planned together before the family moved in.

Battery

The brief
A young couple building their first home asked us to plan solar, storage and car charging as one system rather than three separate purchases.
What we installed
Sixteen all-black panels on the main roof, a 5 kWh battery that can be extended later and a 7 kW smart charger that follows surplus solar.
- Cabling laid during construction to save cost
- Charger prioritises sunshine over grid power
- Battery sized to grow with the family
The result
Most weekday car charging now runs on solar alone, and the house imports very little grid power from April to September.
Yearly savings
About 1,200 per year
Estimated from the first twelve months of monitoring data at current tariffs. Your own figures depend on roof, usage and tariff.
