Myth of the week: "I can claim £500 off my home EV charger with the government grant."

Fact check: only if you're a renter, a flat owner, or a landlord installing for a tenant. If you own a house with your own driveway, that scheme closed to you back in 2022, it isn't a new change, it just doesn't get repeated enough. The grant itself did rise to £500 per socket this year, so it's a genuinely good deal for the people who do qualify.

Not eligible? A professionally installed home charger is still one of our most requested jobs, and we'll always tell you honestly whether a grant applies before we quote.

Worried you've missed the heatwaves?

Luckily, solar doesn’t need scorching sunshine to perform. It runs on daylight, not heat, which means your panels work all year round… even when the weather can’t decide what it’s doing.

If you’re on one of the older Feed‑in Tariff contracts, it’s important to protect those payments. Changing your original inverter for a hybrid system can impact your FIT setup, which is why we usually recommend an AC‑coupled battery instead. It runs independently from your existing solar system, so your FIT remains untouched.

It’s also worth checking the tariff you choose going forward. Some energy providers have specific rules around storage, so comparing rates and eligibility helps you get the best deal.

If you’re thinking about adding a battery and want to keep your FIT secure, we can guide you through the safest setup.

☀️🌑 Today (Wed 12 Aug), the UK will see one of the biggest partial solar eclipses in almost 30 years, up to 96% of the sun covered here in Yorkshire during the early evening.

For a few minutes, solar panels across the country will see a real dip in generation. 5 minutes of no sunlight isn't an issue, but it's a good reminder of something we talk to customers about every day: the sun doesn't shine on demand, clouds, night time, and yes, the odd eclipse, all affect output.

That's exactly why battery storage matters, the energy your panels generate earlier in the day is banked so whatever happens you're ready.

When more of your power comes from your own home, not the grid, everything starts to feel steadier. Solar and battery storage let you capture the energy you generate, store it, and use it when it suits you. That means fewer surprises on your bills, less reliance on rising tariffs and a home that runs on energy you’ve produced yourself.

If you’re looking for a way to take back control and make your energy costs more predictable, we can help you get started.

Great to have the auditor on site and walk them through the work we do day in, day out.

Yes, and here’s why. A standard 13‑amp socket isn’t built to handle the sustained load needed to charge an electric vehicle. A proper home charging unit is designed specifically for EVs, meaning safer charging, faster charging and far better efficiency. It protects your home’s wiring and saves you time and money every time you plug in.

If you’re thinking about installing a charger at home, we can guide you through the best options for your setup.

It’s a common misconception, but the real value of a battery happens every single day. Storing your solar, using more of your own energy, reducing reliance on the grid and taking advantage of cheaper off‑peak rates… that’s where the real savings come from. Backup power is just the bonus.

If you’re curious what a battery could do for your home, we can talk you through it.
