Expert Electricians in Southend

If you have an electric vehicle or are considering purchasing one in the near future, being able to charge it for free, in a completely environmentally friendly manner is one of the most attractive aspects for prospective buyers. No more of your money spent on refuelling, and a huge reduction in carbon emissions are two key factors that will benefit the consumer and the planet. If you are planning to power your home and electric car with solar energy it is worth bearing in mind that this will require a larger system.

Solar panels are very low maintenance. All of our installations come with maintenance packages, guarantees and product warranties to cover you for up to 25 years.

Millions of UK homes already have solar PV panels. Those numbers are growing as consumers look to avoid spiralling energy costs and limit the effect of their carbon footprint. Now is the time to invest in renewable energy. On account of the fact that systems are cheaper than they have ever been, your energy bills will see a drastic reduction and your power will come from an environmentally friendly, inexhaustible supply.

A home battery works by storing solar energy produced by photovoltaic panels or by storing energy imported from the grid. The battery can store energy in kWh up to its designed capacity.

A typical family home in the UK uses an average of 9-11kWh a day. Different properties have different requirements, so the average daily consumption varies. The size of battery your home will need is fully dependent on your power consumption. We recommend a battery system that would power your home and cover your usage during the evening and night, with then a small amount on-top to cover for higher usage days. By sizing a battery to cover your evening and night usage, it will deplete by the morning allowing recharge via Solar PV during the day. Matching the size of your battery system to suit the capacity of your PV system is always optimal. If you install a battery with a much larger capacity than your PV system is capable of producing then your battery will never reach 100% charge.
