Solar PV and battery storage can help reduce reliance on grid electricity, make better use of the energy generated at home and give you greater control over when that energy is used.
KJ Electrical Services provides solar PV, battery storage and associated electrical installation work across Shrewsbury and Shropshire.
Every installation is planned around the property, existing electrical system and the customer's requirements, with careful attention to cable routes, protection, isolation, testing and a neat finished result.
Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, allowing part of the property's electrical demand to be supplied directly from the roof rather than entirely from the grid.
A well-planned system can help:
A solar installation is more than the panels on the roof. The inverter, protective devices, isolation, cable routes and connection to the existing electrical installation all need to work together safely.
Roof-mounted panels generate DC electricity from daylight and form the visible part of the solar installation.
The inverter converts the electricity generated by the panels into usable AC electricity for the property.
A battery can store surplus energy for use later, helping increase self-consumption and reduce grid use at other times of day.
Battery storage can be particularly useful where a property generates more solar energy during the day than it can use immediately.
Rather than exporting all of that surplus energy, a battery can store some of it for use later in the day or evening.
Whether battery storage makes sense depends on the property's energy use, solar generation, tariff and the size of the proposed system. We can help assess the practical electrical requirements and discuss the options available.
Solar PV and battery systems need suitable electrical protection and safe means of isolation.
Depending on the installation, this may include dedicated protective devices, surge protection, AC and DC isolators, additional consumer-unit equipment and clearly labelled points of isolation.
We assess the existing electrical installation as part of the work and identify whether any upgrades are required before the new equipment is connected.
The positioning of equipment and cable routes can make a significant difference to the finished installation.
We aim to keep wiring routes practical and unobtrusive while ensuring that inverters, batteries, isolators and associated equipment remain accessible for safe operation and future maintenance.
Where equipment is installed externally, suitable weather-resistant components and containment are used as required.
Solar generation can work particularly well alongside other electrical technologies, including EV charging and battery storage.
Where several systems are being added to a property, we can assess the existing supply, consumer unit and electrical arrangement together rather than treating each item in isolation.
This helps ensure the overall installation is planned sensibly and that the different systems can operate together safely.
Electrical installation work carried out with a strong focus on safety, testing, practical design and careful workmanship.
We can consider the solar system alongside consumer units, EV charging, battery storage and the wider electrical installation.
Based in Shrewsbury and providing electrical and renewable-energy services throughout Shrewsbury and the surrounding areas of Shropshire.
KJ Electrical Services provides solar PV and battery storage installation work throughout Shrewsbury and Shropshire.
Whether you are considering a new solar installation, adding battery storage or integrating renewable-energy equipment with an existing electrical system, we can help plan the electrical side of the project properly.
We also carry out related electrical work including consumer unit upgrades, EV charger installation, EICRs, fault finding and general electrical installation work.
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than only direct sunshine, although output is lower in poor light conditions.
No. A solar PV system can operate without battery storage. A battery is an additional option that can store surplus generation for use later.
Often, yes. The most appropriate arrangement depends on the existing equipment, electrical installation and the type of battery system being considered.
Not necessarily. We assess the existing board, available protective devices and overall electrical installation before deciding whether any upgrade is needed.
Yes. Solar PV, battery storage and EV charging can be incorporated into the same property, provided the installation is properly assessed and designed.
Yes. The relevant electrical work is tested and the appropriate electrical certification is provided for the parts of the installation we carry out.
KJ Electrical Services can help assess the electrical requirements, plan the installation and provide practical advice on integrating solar PV and battery storage with your property.
