πŸ’· "How much could I save with solar?"

It is the question we are asked more than any other, and the honest answer is that it depends on your home. Most households cut their electricity bills by somewhere between 40 and 70%, which is a wide range, and where you land in it comes down to a few things:

🏠 How much electricity your household uses, and at what time of day
β˜€οΈ The size of your solar PV system
πŸ”‹ Whether you have battery storage, and which electricity tariff you are on
βœ… How much of the electricity you generate you use yourself

That last one is the big one. Every unit you use at home is a unit you have not paid full price for, which is why storage and the right tariff make such a difference.

Anyone giving you a savings figure without asking how your household runs is having a guess. 🌱

πŸ“ Out with the old, in with the new β˜€οΈπŸ”‹

This customer had a solar thermal system that had been decommissioned and was no longer doing anything, so we took it off and replaced it with a modern renewable setup.

βœ… 6.51kWp Solar PV system
βœ… Tesla Powerwall 3
βœ… Tesla Backup Gateway

The new panels generate clean electricity for the home, and Tesla Powerwall 3 holds onto the surplus so it can be used in the evening rather than exported. With the Backup Gateway added, there is also backup power during eligible power cuts.

So the homeowner now generates their own electricity, stores what they do not use straight away, and takes a good deal less from the grid than before. 🏠

β˜€οΈ Think your roof is the wrong type for solar? It probably isn't.

It is one of the most common reasons people talk themselves out of solar before they have asked anyone, and in most cases the roof is fine. It just needs the right approach.

πŸ”© Slate and tiled roofs use different fixing systems, and both are everyday work for us.
πŸ“ Standing seam roofs can be clamped without piercing the sheet.
🏠 Panels can sit on top of the tiles, or be set flush into the roof with an in-roof system.
🌿 And if there genuinely is not a suitable roof, a ground-mounted system can work instead.

Shading matters less than it used to as well. Optimiser technology means each panel works independently, so one shaded panel does not drag the rest down. ⚑

⚑ You have probably heard the term smart tariff. Here is what it actually means.

A smart time-of-use tariff charges different rates at different times of day, rather than one flat price. Electricity overnight is usually a good deal cheaper than electricity at teatime, when everyone is home and the kettles go on. πŸ•

For a home with solar panels and battery storage, that opens up some options:

πŸ”‹ Charge your battery from the grid when rates are lowest, then use that stored power when they are highest.
β˜€οΈ Use the electricity your panels generate before you buy any at all.
πŸ’· Get paid for the surplus. Eligible installations can receive payment for electricity exported to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee.

The honest bit: there is no one tariff that suits everyone. It depends on your household, your usage and what you have installed. βœ…

β˜€οΈ Ever wondered what actually happens during a solar installation?

There is a fair bit more to it than putting panels on a roof, and for most homes the whole job is done in around three days.

πŸ”§ First the roof is prepared and the mounting system goes on, which is the part everything else depends on.
⚑ Then the panels go up, the inverter goes in, and the system is connected into your home's electrics.
βœ… Finally everything is tested and commissioned, and your MCS certificate is issued.

Before we leave, we make sure you understand how your system works and how to get the most out of it. πŸ’‘

Most installations do not need planning permission either, which catches a lot of people out in a good way.

πŸ“š The kids are going back to school. Our engineers never really finished for summer!

While the school holidays were on, members of the team have been working towards their 2391-51 Electrical Inspection and Testing qualification, and keeping up with the latest developments in solar, battery storage and renewable energy technology. ⚑

It is not the part of the job anyone photographs, but it is the part that decides whether your system is installed safely and keeps performing years down the line. πŸ”§

Continued training is a big part of how Forest Eco Systems keeps to the standards our customers expect, and it is why we have held MCS certification for over fifteen years. βœ…

🌱 Always learning, always improving, which is exactly what you want from the people wiring your home.

β˜€οΈ What a month August turned out to be!

From new solar PV installs across Gloucestershire to battery storage upgrades, including one job where we took a decommissioned solar thermal system off the roof and replaced it with 6.51kWp of solar PV and a Tesla Powerwall 3. πŸ”‹

And when the vans were back, our engineers were hitting the books, working towards their 2391-51 Electrical Inspection and Testing qualification. πŸ“š

A big thank you to every customer who had us out this month, and to the team who kept it all moving. Bring on September. 🌱

❓ "Do solar panels work on a cloudy day?" 🌿

It's one of the most common questions we get, and it's a good one. There's a lot of myth and guesswork around renewable energy, so we've answered the questions we hear most, clearly and honestly.

"Do panels work when it's cloudy?" ☁️
"Do I need a battery?” πŸ’·
"How long do solar panels last?" 🏠

πŸ”‹ A home battery does more than store your solar ⚑

It's a question we get asked a lot: "isn't a battery just for keeping my spare solar?" It's a big part of it, but a modern battery can do quite a bit more than that, and the extras are where it starts paying for itself.

Here's how one could work for you:

β˜€οΈ Store the solar you generate in the day and use it through the evening, so you take less from the grid.
⚑ Charge up when electricity is cheapest overnight, then run on that stored power when prices go up.
πŸ’· Get paid to export. Depending on your tariff and setup, you can sell unused electricity back or join a scheme that rewards you for it.
🌿 Take more control of your energy and shrink your carbon footprint at the same time.
