Solar, Battery & EV Charging

Smarter energy for modern homes.

Solar PV, battery storage & EV charger installation for homes across Taunton, Somerset & the surrounding areas - intelligently designed to work individually or as one integrated energy system.

Intelligent energy

Generate. Store. Charge.

Our solar panel installation in Taunton & across Somerset is designed as carefully as the homes it serves. Each solar PV system is sensitively integrated with the architecture - in-roof or on-roof - rather than simply attached to it.

Pair your solar panels with battery storage to keep excess solar generation for the evening, & add a smart EV charger that can draw on your own electricity. Whether you begin with one element or the complete system, everything is designed to work together.

Independence

Greater energy independence.

One considered system

Designed to work together.

Anyone can fit a product. We design energy systems - shaped around your property, your household & how you actually use electricity, so each element quietly supports the next.

01

Solar generation

Your solar PV system generates electricity from daylight throughout the day.

02

Battery storage

A home battery stores excess solar generation instead of sending it straight back to the grid.

03

Home energy use

Stored energy powers the household through the evening & peak-rate periods.

04

EV charging

A smart, solar-compatible EV charger can draw on your own generation to charge the car.

As with every installation, we begin by assessing your existing electrics - from the consumer unit to overall supply capacity - & can carry out electrical testing & certification where required. Energy monitoring & control can also be woven into a wider smart home installation.

01

Lower Energy Bills

Generate & use your own electricity.

02

Reduced Grid Dependence

Store excess energy for evenings & peak times.

03

Lower Carbon Emissions

A cleaner footprint for the household.

04

Future Ready

An installation designed for tomorrow's demands.

Common questions

Solar, battery & EV charging, explained.

Can solar panels, battery storage & an EV charger work together?

Yes - this is exactly how we prefer to design them. Solar panels generate electricity, a home battery stores what you don't use immediately, & a smart EV charger can draw on your own generation. Each element also works perfectly well on its own, so you can build the system over time.

Can I add battery storage to an existing solar PV system?

In most cases, yes. A home battery can usually be retrofitted to an existing solar PV system, allowing you to store excess solar generation that would otherwise be exported. We assess your current installation & recommend the neatest way to integrate it.

Can an EV charger use electricity generated by my solar panels?

Yes. A solar-compatible EV charger can prioritise surplus solar generation when charging your vehicle, reducing how much electricity you draw from the grid. We can advise on chargers with the right smart features for your setup.

Do I need solar panels to install home battery storage?

No. Home battery installation works independently of solar - a battery can charge from the grid on cheaper off-peak tariffs & power your home later. It simply becomes even more capable when paired with solar PV.

What happens before an EV charger is installed?

We assess your property's electrical supply & existing installation - including the consumer unit where relevant - agree the charger position & cable routing, then install, test & hand over the charger with a clear explanation of how to use it.

Do you install solar, batteries & EV chargers across Somerset?

Yes. We're based in Taunton & carry out solar panel installation, battery storage & EV charger installation across Somerset & the surrounding areas, for renovations, new builds, extensions & existing homes.
