Already have solar?

Add a battery to existing solar

Already have solar panels but no way to store what you generate? In most cases a battery can be added to an existing solar PV system, letting you keep more of your own energy rather than exporting it to the grid.

We'll assess your current setup, check compatibility and recommend the right battery for your usage, all as part of a free consultation.

FAQ

Answers to your solar questions

Savings depend on the size of the installation and how much energy is used during the day. By using solar energy as it's generated, reliance on the grid is reduced, leading to lower monthly costs. A detailed projection of expected savings is provided during your initial consultation.
The installation process is planned to be as efficient as possible. Most of the work takes place on the roof or in specific technical areas, so daily routines can usually continue without interruption. Every effort is made to ensure the project is completed quietly and professionally.
Solar panels are very low maintenance because they have no moving parts. It's recommended to have the panels cleaned and the system checked every few years to keep everything in top condition. Sunlife Solar UK provides aftercare options to help manage this.
The timeline depends on the scale and complexity of the project. A standard installation often takes between a few days and two weeks. A clear schedule is always provided before work begins so the timeline is understood from the start.
Many solar installations fall under permitted development rights and don't require full planning permission. However, there are exceptions for certain buildings or locations. Our compliance and approvals stage ensures all local regulations are met before any work starts.
Most systems pay for themselves within five to ten years through energy savings. Because solar panels are designed to last for several decades, the system continues to provide free energy long after the initial cost has been recovered.
