As an investment this was a no brainer. Nick explained really clearly how the system works and the installation wasn’t at all disruptive. The battery and control units all look really neat and tidy. I love looking at the indicators and seeing all our power is being generated from the panels. I’ve been putting this off for a while, I wish I’d done it a couple of years sooner.

Solar PV and Battery Storage FAQs
The common questions we actually get asked about solar and storage
Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. Panels by using semiconductor materials to generate direct current (DC) electricity when hit by sunlight. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which can be used in your premises. The electricity is then used to power lights, equipment and other things.
It depends on your premises, your energy usage, system size and other factors.
Domestically – most homes with a typical solar and battery system can look to save between £500 – £1000 each year.
Commercially/other buildings – the savings are highly variable. A 20 KW system would save businesses around £2000-£4000 a year.
Our domestic solar panels only range starts from £6,829. The price of your system depends on the number and type of panels, ease of installation, scaffolding costs and roofing costs. Getting a quote is the most accurate way to know exactly what your system will cost.
Commercially, the price of a system largely depends on the size which is correlated to your roof space. A small commercial system is typically around £10,000.
Solar batteries typically have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. The exact lifespan depends on factors such as usage, the quality of the battery and regular maintenance. At Glenfield Electrical, we supply batteries known for durability and reliability, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
