The Solar & Battery System: Built for Performance and Peace of Mind.
30 x JA Solar 440W Bifacial N-Type Panels
High-efficiency and cost-effective solar panels delivering consistent energy generation - even during those grey British afternoons.
3 x Victron Energy Quattro 8kVA Inverter/Chargers
Intelligent Inverter/Chargers that that provide power from the solar & battery system, and the grid, even switching automatically when needed in a blackout situation to keep the lights (and everything else) on.
48kWh Lithium Battery Storage
Enough capacity to store energy for daily use, evenings and power outages.
Victron Monitoring System

Everyday Benefits: What It Powers and Why It Matters
This system isn’t just about backup, it’s built to work all day, every day.
Runs High-Usage Appliances
Washing machines, tumble dryers, and other essentials can run on solar power during the day or from stored energy in the evening, all without touching the grid when conditions allow.
Full Backup During Outages
When the grid goes down, Ian’s system seamlessly takes over. The system automatically knows and switches to off-grid. No interruption and no hassle.
Real-Time Monitoring and Control
With Victron’s VRM platform, Ian knows exactly how much power he’s generating, using, and storing. In person or anywhere in the world.
Savings That Add Up
By using stored and solar power first, Ian significantly reduces the amount of electricity he draws from the grid, leading to lower energy bills month after month. Many people are surprised at how quickly these systems can pay themselves off in energy savings.
