Solar panel installation & battery storage systems

WaterTight Plumbing and Electrics provides expert solar panel and battery storage installation services throughout Leicestershire. Our solar panels and battery storage qualified electricians combine over 20 years of electrical expertise with specialist renewable energy training to deliver comprehensive solar solutions that reduce energy costs and carbon footprint whilst providing energy independence.

Complete Solar Energy Solutions

Solar photovoltaic systems offer an excellent opportunity to generate clean, renewable electricity whilst reducing your dependence on grid energy and lowering electricity bills. Our comprehensive solar installation service covers everything from initial site assessment through to system commissioning and ongoing support.

We design solar panel systems that maximise energy generation potential for your property whilst integrating seamlessly with your existing electrical installation. Combined with battery storage solutions, solar panels can provide significant energy independence and protection against rising electricity costs.

Expert Solar Panel Installation

Our solar panels qualified electricians understand the specific requirements for photovoltaic installations, including roof suitability assessment, optimal panel positioning, and electrical integration with your property's power supply. We ensure every installation maximises energy generation whilst maintaining roof integrity and weather protection.

We work with high-quality solar panels and mounting systems that provide reliable performance and durability in all weather conditions. Our installation approach minimises visual impact whilst ensuring optimal solar exposure and easy maintenance access.

Battery Storage Integration

Battery storage systems transform solar panel installations from daytime-only generation to comprehensive energy solutions that provide power when you need it most. Our battery storage qualified electricians design and install systems that store excess solar energy for use during evening hours or periods of high electricity demand.

Modern battery storage technology allows you to maximise the value of your solar generation by storing energy when it's abundant and using it when grid electricity is most expensive. This intelligent energy management can significantly increase the financial benefits of your solar investment.

System Design and Assessment

Every solar installation begins with a comprehensive assessment of your property's solar potential. We evaluate roof orientation, shading factors, available space, and structural suitability to design a system that delivers optimal performance for your specific circumstances.

Our assessment includes analysis of your electricity consumption patterns to ensure your solar and battery system is sized appropriately for your energy needs. This detailed planning approach ensures you achieve maximum benefit from your renewable energy investment.

Advanced Solar Technology

We install the latest photovoltaic technology including high-efficiency solar panels that generate maximum electricity from available roof space. Our systems incorporate advanced inverter technology that optimises energy conversion and provides comprehensive monitoring of system performance.

Smart solar systems can integrate with home energy management technologies, allowing you to monitor and optimise energy generation, storage, and consumption. These intelligent features help maximise the financial and environmental benefits of your solar installation.

Battery Storage Benefits

Battery storage systems provide numerous benefits beyond storing solar energy. They can provide backup power during grid outages, protect against electricity price fluctuations, and enable participation in grid balancing schemes that can generate additional income from your battery system.

Our battery installations include sophisticated energy management systems that automatically optimise charging and discharging cycles to maximise battery life and financial benefits. These intelligent systems learn your energy patterns and adjust operation to provide optimal performance.

Financial Benefits and Returns

Solar panels and battery storage can provide significant long-term financial benefits through reduced electricity bills and potential income from excess energy generation. Current solar technology typically provides payback periods of 8-12 years whilst systems are designed to operate effectively for 25+ years.

We provide detailed financial projections showing expected energy generation, cost savings, and return on investment for your specific circumstances. This analysis helps you understand the long-term value of your renewable energy investment.

Government Incentives and Support

Solar installations may benefit from various government incentives and support schemes designed to encourage renewable energy adoption. We provide guidance on current schemes including the Smart Export Guarantee that provides payments for excess solar energy exported to the grid.

Our knowledge of available incentives ensures you access any financial support for your solar installation, improving the economics of your renewable energy investment and accelerating payback periods.

Integration with EV Charging

Solar panels provide an excellent energy source for electric vehicle charging, allowing you to power your transport with clean, renewable energy generated on your property. We can coordinate solar installations with EV charger installations to create comprehensive sustainable energy solutions.

This integration allows you to charge your electric vehicle using solar energy during daylight hours, with battery storage providing the flexibility to charge at optimal times. This combination can eliminate both domestic electricity and vehicle fuel costs.

Monitoring and Maintenance

Modern solar installations include comprehensive monitoring systems that allow you to track energy generation, battery storage levels, and system performance in real-time. These monitoring capabilities help identify any issues quickly and ensure optimal system operation.

We provide ongoing support and maintenance advice to ensure your solar and battery system continues to operate at peak efficiency. Our local presence in Leicestershire means we're readily available for system checks and support when needed.

Planning and Regulatory Compliance

Most domestic solar installations fall under permitted development rights, but we handle all necessary notifications and compliance requirements to ensure your installation meets planning and building regulations. Our experience with local authorities streamlines the approval process.

We ensure all electrical work complies with current wiring regulations and provide appropriate certification including G99 grid connection approval where required. This comprehensive compliance approach protects your investment and ensures system reliability.

Environmental Impact

Solar panels and battery storage systems provide significant environmental benefits by reducing reliance on fossil fuel electricity generation. A typical domestic solar installation can prevent several tonnes of CO2 emissions annually whilst providing clean, renewable energy for decades.

By choosing renewable energy, you're contributing to national carbon reduction targets whilst demonstrating leadership in sustainable living. The environmental benefits extend far beyond individual properties to support broader climate action goals.

Future-Proofing Energy Independence

Solar and battery systems provide protection against rising electricity costs and increasing grid dependency. As energy prices continue to rise, solar installations become increasingly valuable investments that provide long-term energy security.

We design systems with future expansion in mind, allowing for additional panels or battery capacity as your energy needs evolve or technology advances. This forward-thinking approach protects your investment and maximises long-term benefits.

Professional Standards and Certification

All our solar panel and battery storage installations are carried out by electricians with specific renewable energy qualifications alongside standard electrical certifications. Our solar panels and battery storage qualified status ensures competent installation and system integration.

Our NAPIT registration and Checkatrade approval provide confidence in our professional standards and commitment to customer satisfaction. We take pride in delivering renewable energy solutions that combine performance, reliability, and environmental benefits.
