✔️ Another Solar & Battery installation completed in York.

For this project, we installed Aiko solar panels alongside a Hanchu ESS 7kW inverter and 2 x 9.4kWh batteries, creating a powerful system with excellent storage capacity and strong day to day performance.

By generating more electricity on site and storing excess solar for use later in the day, this system helps reduce reliance on grid electricity while also lowering the home’s overall carbon footprint.

With 18.8kWh of battery storage, more of the clean energy generated on site can be stored and used within the home instead of being exported back to the grid.

Another neat and professional installation completed by the team, helping move one more home towards cleaner, greener energy.

✔️ Another smart Solar & Battery installation complete just outside of King’s Lynn.

This homeowner is now set up with a great value system designed to increase self consumption and cut reliance on the grid.

We’ve installed 12 x Aiko 465W panels paired with a Hanchu ESS 5kW inverter and a 9.4kWh battery, so more of the daytime generation is captured and used later when the home needs it most.

They can also make use of off peak electricity tariffs to charge the battery at lower rates and drive savings even further.

In short, another customer taking control and locking in the cost of their future electricity.

Family run Installers. Better Service.

Recently we have seen another reminder of why choosing a stable, local company matters. Soly’s UK operation has stoped trading following the bankruptcy of their paren company in the Netherlands. Situations like this can leave customers unsure where to turn for support, warranties, or future assistance. it also casts a shadow over the whole renewable industry in the uk.

This is why many homeowners prefer working with a local, family run installer. You know exactly who you are dealing with, you know who to contact if you ever need help, and you are looked after by the same team from the first conversation right through to long term aftercare.

We take the time to visit your home, understand your usage, needs, and design a system that suits your property. If you ever need support, you speak directly to the same people who installed your system. No call centres. No long waits. No confusion.

As a family company, we stay hands on with every project. Clear communication, reliable workmanship, and ongoing support are central to how we operate. When you invest in solar, you want an installer you can reach today, tomorrow, and in the years ahead.

That is why choosing a family run company continues to be the safest and most dependable option for homeowners.

How to Access Cheap Rate Electricity This Winter

Most people do not realise you can run your home on cheap rate electricity all day long, even in the middle of winter.

Suppliers like Octopus Energy offer smart tariffs where electricity could drop to around 7p to 12p per kWh overnight. When you pair this with a home battery storage system, you can store that low cost power and use it throughout the day instead of paying 25p to 30p per kWh.

Here is how it works.

- Charge your battery overnight at the low rate
- Store that cheap electricity ready for the next day
- Use it through the morning and evening when rates are normally highest.

This approach is ideal in winter because solar production is naturally lower and usage is higher. A battery storage system fills that gap effectively.

With EcoFlow you can start with a 5 kWh battery and scale the system up to 15 kWh (and beyond) if your energy needs grow in the future. It is a flexible setup that adapts to your home over time. You can also connect the system to older existing solar panels or pair it with brand new panels if you are upgrading your array.

If you want to start taking advantage of these cheaper rates, our EcoFlow PowerOcean package is one of the simplest ways to do it. A 5 kWh battery paired with the 3.6 kW inverter is £3950 fully installed, and you can add on the EcoFlow PowerInsight Home Energy Monitor for just £295.

This setup gives you winter savings from day one and works perfectly with smart tariffs like Octopus Go and Intelligent Go.

If you decide to switch you can receive fifty pounds credit through this link: https://lightgrouph.octopus.energy/
