🔋 Solar PV & Battery Storage: Things You Might Not Know!

Most people know solar panels can reduce your electricity bills, but there’s a lot more to the story. Here are a few surprising facts about solar PV and battery storage that many homeowners don’t realise:

🔹 Solar works even on cloudy days
Solar panels don’t need direct sunshine to generate electricity. They still produce power from daylight, which means they can work effectively in the UK climate.

🔹 You don’t have to use the electricity instantly.
With battery storage, the excess energy your panels produce during the day can be stored and used in the evening - when most homes actually need it.

🔹 You can sell unused electricity back to the grid.
Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), energy suppliers can pay you for surplus electricity you export from your system.

🔹 Batteries can help protect against rising energy prices.
By storing cheaper self-generated electricity and using it later, batteries can reduce the amount of power you need to buy from the grid.

🔹 Solar systems are smarter than ever.
Modern systems can track your energy use, prioritise battery charging, and even integrate with EV chargers or smart tariffs.

🔹 Solar can still work during winter.
While production is lower, panels still generate energy in winter months, just not at summer levels.

Thinking about solar? It’s not just about panels anymore, pairing solar PV with battery storage can completely change how your home uses energy.

Each Solar PV system is unique and yours should be designed around your energy goals, requirements, and the needs of your property.

Our approach starts with your roof type and your long term energy goals. From structural compatibility to aesthetics and long-term durability, we ensure the mounting system is the right fit for you, not a one-size-fits-all solution.

✔️ Flat roofs – We offer tailored mounting systems that achieve the ideal tilt and performance while protecting your roof structure.
✔️ On-roof systems – Designed to sit securely above your existing roof covering, with reliable, weatherproof fixing methods.
✔️ Integrated (in-roof) systems – A sleek, built-in alternative that replaces part of your roof covering for a seamless finish.

No matter your roof style, we’re confident we can help you find the right system. Contact us today to arrange a no-obligation survey.

Making the Most of Battery Storage This Winter 🔋

This winter, many of our customers are getting real value from their battery storage systems by charging during off-peak periods and using that stored energy when electricity prices are higher.

By combining battery storage with flexible tariffs from suppliers such as Octopus Energy, Good Energy and E.ON, homeowners are able to store cheaper overnight energy and power their homes through the day and evening. The result is lower reliance on the grid, more predictable energy costs, and better performance from their solar systems - even during the darker months.

At Dorset Solar Solutions, we’re proud to help our customers get the most from their solar and battery systems all year round. 🌍⚡

Great progress on this new-build development. 🎥

This site features seven newly constructed homes, each completed with 3.48 kWp of solar PV, installed using GSE mounting systems for a clean, integrated finish. Working closely with the developer, we optimised each roof layout to maximise generation potential and ensure the homes are as economical and future-ready as possible.

Each system is paired with a SolaX 3.68 kW inverter, delivering efficient, reliable performance from day one and helping reduce energy costs for future homeowners.

A strong example of how thoughtful design and collaboration can embed renewable energy into new-build housing from the outset.
