Solar PV Systems & Battery Storage

Solar cell & Battery Home System Diagram

Types of Solar Roofing Systems

On-roof systems:

These are the most common, featuring panels mounted on top of the existing roof.

In-roof systems:

These integrate solar panels directly into the roof structure, often replacing traditional tiles or slates.

Both options offer unique benefits. On-roof systems are easier to install, while in-roof systems provide a sleeker, more integrated appearance. Choose the one that best fits your needs and aesthetic preferences as there are pros and cons of integrated solar panels.

Re-roofing your property while installing a solar PV system

If you’re re-roofing your property while installing a solar PV system, choosing an in-roof system is a smart financial and aesthetic move! For stone slate roofs, be sure to select a contractor carefully. This complex process often challenges solar companies lacking roofing expertise! Green and Heritage Roofing has vast experience of professionally installing solar PV systems in to stone slate roofs, especially on heritage and period properties.

Our Solar PV Systems work with battery storage

Adding a battery to your solar system lets you store excess energy for later use, boosting self-consumption and reducing reliance on the grid.

Our solar PV systems feature a hybrid inverter, allowing seamless integration with battery storage. This system captures the electricity generated so you can use it whenever needed.

Even if your property is grid-connected, you can add battery storage. Excess electricity can be sold to energy companies or stored for later use during high generation periods.

If you’re aiming for more energy independence, solar panel battery storage is a major step forward, enabling smarter energy choices.

Our systems are advanced, durable, smart, and user-friendly, with fast on-demand charging and discharging at up to 2.5kW. Equipped with game-changing technology, you can set preferences via a user-friendly web portal, and the integrated control unit manages everything.

The hybrid inverter and battery storage system are ready for future challenges and come with a 10-year warranty.

Battery Storage – Is it worth it?

You may be sitting on the fence and wondering if installing battery storage is really worth the investment. Check out our blog post on the benefits of solar battery storage to give you a clearer insight into the ins and outs of investing on this technology.

Energy monitoring

Our solar PV and battery storage systems come complete with access to Smart Monitoring apps which allows you to take control of your energy usage.

Key Features of Solar PV Monitoring Apps:

• Real-time Monitoring: Track your system’s performance live, including energy generation, consumption, and export to the grid.
• Historical Data: Access past performance (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) to identify trends and optimise usage.
• Smart Home Integration: Connect with smart home devices to automate energy use based on solar production.
• Fault Detection and Alerts: Receive notifications about issues with your system for timely maintenance.
• Battery Monitoring: If you have a solar battery, view data on charging and discharging patterns.
• Customisation and Reporting: Customise data views, generate reports, and analyse performance.

Solar PV Systems Working with Zappi Electrical Vehicle Charging

If you have an electric vehicle or are considering getting one in the future, the Zappi electrical vehicle charger is just what you need. It optimises the use of your solar PV and is supplied at a very modest premium to a standard charger.

Installed at the same time as your solar PV hybrid and battery storage system, you can remotely monitor and control the device, keeping track of the energy used to charge your vehicle.

The charger can use energy which has been stored in the battery or drawn from the grid at times when electricity prices are cheaper.

How it all works

Seamless integration to online monitoring gives the freedom to change and streamline your energy efficiency.

• GENERATE – FREE electricity straight from your roof to power your home.
• STORE – Store the electricity generated during the day and use it throughout the night, meaning you use minimal electricity from the grid.
• MANAGE – The bespoke online portal shows how much you are saving and allows you to manage your own energy demands.
• IMPORT – Charge your Prime battery on Economy 7 during the night when electricity is half the price of during the day.
• CHARGE – Use your stored energy to charge your electrical vehicle
