High-Performance Solar Installations for Homes in Woking
Many homes in Woking have generous roof space and favourable orientations, allowing for efficient, high-output systems. However, no two properties are identical. Therefore, if you want a system that best meets your energy needs you want to make sure you aren't getting a cookie-cutter solution.
We manage every stage of the project — from initial consultation and system design through to installation, commissioning and ongoing monitoring. We consider your roof layout and usable area, the shading from trees or neighbouring properties, your current and projected energy usage as well as smart tariff opportunities. So you can be sure that our system design is bespoke to your home and energy requirements
Our team provides clear, practical advice on panel selection, inverter technology and battery storage to ensure your system continues to perform efficiently for years to come. Every project begins with a no-obligation site survey and detailed proposal. Book yours now on 01483 363 104.
Why Woking Homeowners Are Choosing Battery Storage
Battery storage is increasingly popular among Woking homeowners looking to reduce exposure to peak-rate electricity. This has made a well-designed battery storage system an essential part of any solar installation!
A properly configured battery system allows you to:
- Store excess solar generation
- Optimise time-of-use tariffs
- Reduce evening grid imports
- Improve resilience during outages
For larger homes with variable demand, battery-first design often delivers stronger long-term value than panels alone. You can talk to our experts to find out what size battery would be best for your home.
With growing reliance on electricity, we know that it’s important for your home or business to stay powered. With a well-designed battery system, we can ensure your access to electricity is uninterrupted, whether that’s to power vital circuits or your whole home.

Do Solar Panels Reduce Your Bills?
With rising energy prices, Woking homeowners are turning to green tech, like solar and batteries, to help take back control of their energy bills. However, are solar panels really the best way to reduce your energy bills?
A solar and battery installation will reduce the amount of electricity you need to import from the grid. The % of the energy your home uses from your system's annual production is known as 'Self-Consumption'. Homeowners in Woking and Mayford with higher usage (>5000 kWh/yr) are likely to have a higher self-consumption rate.
However, self-usage is only one way solar PV installations are saving Godalming homeowners. There are 3 main ways in which a solar and battery system can save you money, so let's have a look at each of them.
Using Solar Generation Directly
The basic way a solar and battery system saves you money is when the power you produce is used directly. Every time your home is powered by the power your solar panels are generating is a kWh you don't have to buy from the grid. Whether this is directly or via your battery, your solar self-consumption is the main way solar reduces your energy bills.
A typical UK Home will use 20-30% of the solar power it generates, which rises to 70-80% with battery storage. The higher your self-consumption, the higher your savings will be because import prices (electricity you buy from the grid) are higher than export prices (electricity you sell to the grid). Therefore, you save more by using your own generation than you earn from selling it to the grid.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)
Selling back to the Grid. The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) ensures that your energy provider has to pay you for the energy you export. Fortunately, you can shop around for the best deal, ensuring that you earn good money for your excess generation.
At the beginning of the SEG, export rates were pretty bad (3-4p/kWh). However, now you can get higher export rates of 12p/kWh. This means that solar panels alone are often financially viable and a good investment, paying back in 7-8 years.
Does this mean that battery storage should be avoided? The simple answer is no. A solar battery will increase your self-consumption, energy independence, and access to time-of-use tariffs gives UK homeowners more ways to decrease their savings.
Load Shifting With Smart Tariffs
The final money-saving avenue we will look at is load shifting. This is one of the best ways to increase your bill savings and utilise your battery to its full capacity.
For most UK homes, it is impossible to go off-grid as solar production is significantly lower during the winter months. Therefore, if we are going to have to buy from the grid, we want to make sure it's at the lowest possible rate. Load shifting is how we do that!
Load shifting is when you charge your solar battery with cheap electricity from the grid for use around your home when import prices are higher. This is most effective with EV tariffs, like Octopus Go or E.On Next Drive, as they offer cheap electricity for a short window overnight.
