Domestic solar, battery storage and air conditioning
Four documented builds, drawn and costed before you speak to anyone. We survey the roof, write the specification, then fix the price. Yeovil and Poole, with our own installation teams.
A standard pitched roof, tiled, with straightforward scaffold access. This is the house the published price is written against.
Erected to the eaves on the working elevation, with the hire period inside the price. Non standard access is priced as its own line, never absorbed.
Tiles are lifted in courses where the hooks land, then set aside. Nothing is cut that does not have to be.
Fixed through to the rafters, not to the batten. Sixteen on this array. Photographed at this stage, before the rail goes on, because that is what the certification body wants to see.
The lifted courses go back over the hooks, so the roof is weathertight again before any rail is lifted up.
Two rails, bolted to the hooks and set out so the array sits 300mm clear of the ridge and the verges.
Ten 430W all black panels in two rows of five. On this roof that is 4.3 kWp. Each serial number is recorded against the design.
A hybrid inverter, usually in the loft on the gable wall, sized so a battery can be added later without replacing it. The scaffold comes down at this point, because the roof work is finished.
10kWh below the inverter on the same wall, keeping the cable run short. This is what carries the house overnight and charges on a cheap night rate.
A reversible unit, quoted separately. It cools in summer and heats in winter, and it runs on what the array is generating in the months you need it most.
These are the configurations we fit most often. Every price is a starting figure for a standard pitched roof with straightforward scaffold access, and every one is confirmed in writing after survey.
The straightforward roof. Ten panels, no storage, exported when you are not using it.
The same array with a small store, sized to carry a typical household through the evening.
The build we set out most often. Enough storage to run overnight and to fill up on a cheap night rate in winter.
A wider array and a backup gateway, so key circuits stay live during a power cut. For larger roofs and heavier users.
Nothing on this page is a quote. It is the price of a documented build, which becomes a fixed price once a surveyor has measured your roof and written the specification down.
A surveyor measures the roof, checks the rafters, the scaffold positions and the consumer unit, and records the shading through the day. About an hour, at no cost, with no obligation on you.
You get the panel layout drawn on your own roof, the exact equipment list, the inverter and battery positions and the cable route. Anything found at survey is priced as a separate line, not folded into the total.
The specification is signed and the price is fixed. If we made a mistake in the survey, that is our cost. You are free to walk away at any point before you sign.
Qualifying domestic installations of solar and battery storage are currently zero rated for VAT. From 1 April 2027 the rate returns to 5%. On a £9,300 system that difference is about £465.
A survey booked now leaves room for the work to be planned properly before the rate changes.
