Solar PV & Battery Installation
Solar PV & Battery Installation Solutions
Reducing Energy Costs and Increasing Energy Independence Through Solar Generation and Battery Storage
Electrical Testing UK installs solar PV systems and battery storage solutions for homeowners, businesses and industrial operators. Solar PV converts sunlight into usable electricity, including on overcast days, reducing the amount of power drawn from the grid and lowering energy bills. Battery storage extends the benefit further by capturing surplus generation during the day and making it available at night or during periods of high demand. We handle the complete process from system design through to installation, commissioning and certification, and we also retrofit battery storage to existing solar PV systems where no storage was originally installed.
Key Features Include
Full Design-to-Installation Service
We manage the complete process from initial site assessment and system design through to installation, commissioning and certification, with no need to coordinate separate contractors.
Domestic and Commercial Installation
We install solar PV and battery storage systems for homeowners and landlords as well as commercial and industrial operators, with system design scaled to the generation and storage requirements of each site.
Battery Storage and Retrofit
We install battery storage alongside new solar PV systems and retrofit storage to existing solar installations, enabling surplus generation to be stored and used rather than exported to the grid.
Emergency Power Supply Functionality
Battery systems installed by Electrical Testing UK incorporate EPS (Emergency Power Supply) functionality, keeping essential circuits operational during a grid outage.
MCS and GivEnergy Accredited
We are GivEnergy accredited installers and carry out all solar PV and battery installation in accordance with MCS standards and BS 7671, with full certification on completion.
Solar PV and Battery Storage Installation for Domestic and Commercial Properties
Solar PV Installation for Domestic Properties A domestic solar PV system reduces the amount of electricity drawn from the grid during daylight hours, directly lowering energy bills and providing a return through the Smart Export Guarantee for surplus power exported to the grid. We carry out domestic solar PV installations for homeowners and landlords, handling roof survey, system design, DNO notification, installation and certification. Systems are sized to the available roof space and the household’s energy consumption, and all installations are MCS certified.
Battery Storage Installation for Domestic Properties Battery storage allows homeowners to store the surplus generation that would otherwise be exported, making it available for use in the evening and overnight. We install battery storage systems for domestic properties both alongside new solar PV installations and as retrofits to existing systems, with EPS functionality included as standard to provide power during outages.
Solar PV and Battery Installation for Commercial and Industrial Sites Commercial and industrial operators with significant daytime energy consumption benefit most from solar PV, with the system sized to offset as much of the site’s consumption as possible during generation hours. Battery storage further reduces grid dependency by shifting generation to periods of peak consumption or peak tariff rates. We design and install solar PV and battery systems for commercial premises, warehouses, manufacturing sites and multi-tenancy properties, carrying out DNO applications and grid connection as part of the installation.
Retrofit Battery Storage for Existing Solar PV Systems Many solar PV systems installed under the Feed-in Tariff were installed without battery storage, with surplus generation exported to the grid at a low rate. Retrofitting battery storage to these systems allows owners to use a much greater proportion of their own generation, increasing the financial return from the existing installation. We assess existing systems for battery retrofit suitability, specify appropriate storage capacity and inverter equipment, and carry out the installation and commissioning.
Solar PV and Battery Installation Process from Survey to Commissioning
Site survey and system design We carry out a site survey to assess roof orientation, pitch, shading and structural suitability, and to confirm the capacity of the existing electrical installation to accommodate the solar PV system and battery storage. Based on the survey and the site’s energy consumption data, we design a system sized to maximise the financial return from generation and storage within the constraints of the available roof space and supply capacity.
Installation and grid connection We install the panel array, mounting system, DC cabling, inverter, battery storage and AC connection using our own qualified engineers. Where a DNO application is required for grid connection, we manage the application and coordinate the connection. All DC and AC circuits are installed to BS 7671 and all equipment is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements and MCS standards.
Commissioning and certification On completion the system is commissioned and tested, with inverter and battery management system configuration verified and generation monitoring confirmed operational. We issue an Electrical Installation Certificate covering the AC installation and MCS certification for the solar PV system, and register the installation with the relevant bodies to ensure eligibility for Smart Export Guarantee payments where applicable.
Why Homeowners and Businesses Choose Electrical Testing UK for Solar PV Installation
Complete service from one contractor We handle survey, design, DNO application, installation, commissioning and certification. One contractor, one contract, one point of accountability for the completed system.
Battery storage expertise We are GivEnergy accredited installers with experience across a wide range of battery storage systems. We specify storage capacity based on actual consumption data rather than generic recommendations, and all installations include EPS functionality as standard.
Domestic and commercial capability We install systems for individual homeowners and for commercial operators with large rooftop arrays, applying the same rigour to system design and installation quality regardless of system size.
Testing and ongoing maintenance available As a full-service electrical contractor, we carry out periodic testing and maintenance of solar PV and battery systems as well as initial installation. One contractor for the life of the system.
Qualified engineers, not subcontractors All solar PV and battery installation is carried out by our own NICEIC-qualified engineers. We do not subcontract, so quality and accountability remain with Electrical Testing UK throughout.
