Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What types of energy systems do you install?

We design and install solar, battery storage, off‑grid, grid‑tied, and hybrid energy systems for homes, farms and commercial sites. Systems range from small 250W setups to multi‑hundred‑kW three‑phase installations.

Yes. Our platform is compatible with all major solar brands, including systems with Feed‑in Tariff (FIT). You keep your FIT payments while adding modern storage and control features.

Most customers save over 60% on their energy bills by storing cheap electricity, avoiding peak‑time tariffs, and using more of their own solar generation.

Yes. We build complete off‑grid power systems for remote homes, farms, stables and commercial sites. These include solar, batteries, smart inverters and optional backup generation.

Yes. Our systems switch to battery power within milliseconds, keeping lights, computers, machinery and sensitive equipment running without interruption.

Absolutely. By using battery‑assisted power boosting, load management, and three‑phase balancing, many customers avoid expensive DNO reinforcement work entirely.

Yes. We design three‑phase, high‑capacity systems for factories, workshops, warehouses, farms and business parks. These systems stabilise power, reduce peak demand and protect machinery.

Off‑grid systems provide:

  • Total independence from the National Grid
  • Protection from power cuts and brownouts
  • Predictable long‑term energy costs
  • Cleaner, quieter alternatives to diesel generators

Yes. Our platform is fully modular and scalable. You can add more batteries, more solar, or upgrade to three‑phase at any time.

Yes. All systems include 24/7 monitoring, remote diagnostics and optional maintenance packages to ensure long‑term performance.

Yes. We specialise in energy systems for:

  • Dairy farms
  • Poultry units
  • Grain drying
  • Stables and equestrian centres
  • General agricultural operations

Most installations take 1–3 days, depending on size and complexity. Larger commercial systems may take longer, but we handle all planning and DNO paperwork.

Yes. Surplus energy can be exported, which is especially useful for seasonal businesses or sites with high daytime solar generation.

If the grid voltage drops or becomes unstable, our system automatically isolates your property and runs from battery power, protecting sensitive equipment from damage.

Yes. We manage all DNO applications, compliance documents, commissioning certificates and system registration.
