How long does a typical solar installation take

A standard residential solar and battery installation is usually completed within 1 to 2 days, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

How much can I save by installing solar panels and battery storage?

Most UK homeowners see a reduction in energy bills of 50-80%. By using AI-managed battery storage to store solar power for evening use and selling excess energy back to the grid via smart tariffs, some homes can reach "zero-cost" power.

Do I need off-street parking to have an EV charger installed?

Yes, in almost all cases, you will need a dedicated driveway or garage to have a home EV charger installed. This ensures the charger is safe, accessible, and compliant with electrical regulations. If you don’t have off-street parking, our team can advise you on the best ways to utilize public charging networks in your area.

How long does it take to install an EV home charger?

A standard installation typically takes just a few hours. Because we are local to Lancashire, our team arrives prepared to handle everything from the initial assessment to the final safety testing, meaning we can often get your system up and running in a single day.

Should I choose a tethered or untethered charger?

It comes down to convenience. A tethered charger has the cable permanently attached, so you just grab it and plug in—very handy for daily use. An untethered charger has a socket you plug your own cable into, which is a cleaner, more minimalist look if you prefer to keep your driveway clear when not charging.

Can I really charge my car for free using solar panels?

Absolutely. If you have a solar PV system, we can install a smart charger (like the myenergi Zappi, Nexblue) that intelligently diverts 100% of your excess solar energy directly into your car battery. It’s the ultimate way to turn your driveway into a zero-cost refueling station.

Will an EV charger increase my electricity bill?

While it will use more electricity, it is significantly cheaper than public charging. By using a "smart" charger, you can schedule your vehicle to charge during off-peak, overnight hours when electricity rates are at their lowest. This can save you substantial amounts of money compared to using public commercial hubs.

Do I need to upgrade my home’s electrical supply?

Most modern UK homes are perfectly suited for a standard 7kW home charger without any major electrical upgrades. During our initial survey, our expert engineers will check your existing fuse box and wiring to confirm everything is safe and ready for your new system.
