Bespoke Solar Panel & Battery Bespoke solar PV, battery storage and smart energy solutions designed around your home.

More homeowners are looking at solar panels and battery storage as a way to generate their own electricity, make better use of renewable energy and reduce their reliance on electricity from the grid.

But choosing a solar system shouldn't simply be about fitting as many panels as possible.

At Nicholas Electrical, we believe a good solar installation should be designed around the property, the household's electricity usage and how that energy is likely to be used in the future.

That's why we take a bespoke approach to solar PV and battery storage installations.

What Does a Bespoke Solar Installation Mean?

Every home is different.

Roof size and orientation, electricity consumption, existing electrical installation, EV ownership and the times of day you use electricity can all influence the type of solar and battery system that may be appropriate.

Before recommending a system, we consider factors such as:

• The available roof space
• Roof orientation and potential shading
• Current electricity consumption
• When electricity is normally used
• Existing electrical equipment
• Battery storage requirements
• Existing or future EV charging
• Smart energy management
• Potential future changes to the property

Rather than approaching solar as a standalone product, we look at how the different elements can work together.

Solar Panels and Battery Storage – Why Combine Them?

Solar PV panels generate electricity during daylight hours, but that doesn't necessarily correspond with when a household uses the most electricity.

For example, a home may generate significant solar energy during the middle of the day while its occupants are away.

A home battery can store some of that energy so it can potentially be used later rather than immediately drawing electricity from the grid.

The most appropriate battery capacity will depend on the individual property and how electricity is used.

Installing the biggest battery available isn't automatically the right answer.

Our aim is to design a system appropriate for the household rather than simply specify equipment.

Solar, Battery Storage and EV Charging

Electric vehicles have changed the way many homes use electricity.

If you're considering solar panels and also own an electric vehicle, it makes sense to consider both systems together.

A well-planned home energy system can combine:

Solar PV + Battery Storage + EV Charging + Smart Energy Management

Nicholas Electrical installs EV charging equipment alongside solar and battery technology, including MyEnergi Zappichargers.

As MyEnergi Product Champions, we have experience with MyEnergi technology including Zappi EV charging and Libbi battery storage.

This allows us to consider how the complete electrical and renewable-energy installation can work together rather than treating the solar panels, battery and EV charger as unrelated products.

Can Battery Storage Be Added to an Existing Solar System?

In many cases, homeowners with an existing solar PV installation may be able to add battery storage.

However, the existing system needs to be assessed before deciding on the most suitable solution.

We can look at the existing solar installation, electrical system and household energy requirements before discussing the available options.

Likewise, homeowners who already have an EV charger may want to consider how a future solar and battery system could integrate with their existing setup.

Planning these technologies together can help create a more coherent home energy system.

Choosing the Right Solar Installer

Solar PV and battery storage are part of your home's electrical installation, so choosing an appropriately qualified and experienced installer is important.
