Solar panels & battery storage
Making the most of your heat pump investment
Air-source heat pumps are our core specialism, but many homeowners also ask about solar panels and battery storage.
The three technologies work naturally together.
Solar panels generate clean electricity during the day. Battery systems store that energy for later use. Air-source heat pumps use electricity to provide reliable heating and hot water throughout the year.
When properly designed, the combination can reduce energy bills, lower emissions and give homeowners greater control over how and when they use energy.
Solar panels
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into electricity that can be used throughout your home.
For homeowners with an air-source heat pump, solar generation can help reduce the cost of running the system, particularly during spring and summer when electricity production is highest.
The benefits include:
- Lower electricity bills
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Greater energy independence
- Increased property value
- Protection against future energy price rises
Every property is different, so we assess whether solar panels are suitable for your home and energy usage.
Battery storage
Battery systems allow homeowners to store surplus electricity generated by their solar panels and use it later in the day.
This increases self-consumption and reduces the amount of electricity that needs to be purchased from the grid.
Battery storage can also be used with off-peak electricity tariffs, helping homeowners make the most of lower energy prices.
The benefits include:
- Greater use of your own solar energy
- Lower electricity costs
- Reduced reliance on the grid
- Better use of off-peak tariffs
- Improved energy resilience
Heat pumps first
Although we offer solar panels and battery storage, air-source heat pumps remain our primary focus and expertise.
We believe heat pumps are the foundation of low-carbon home heating and hot water systems. Solar and batteries are additional technologies that can enhance the overall performance and efficiency of your home.
That means we only recommend them where they genuinely add value and make sense for your circumstances.
Designed around your home
Every home is different.
Some homeowners benefit from a heat pump alone. Others may find that adding solar panels or battery storage creates a better long-term energy solution.
Our role is to understand your property, your energy usage and your priorities, then recommend the technologies that are right for you.
