DOMESTIC SOLAR PV
Generate more of your own electricity
Solar photovoltaic panels, usually known as solar PV, convert daylight into electricity that can be used throughout your home.
Generating your own renewable electricity can reduce the amount of energy you need to purchase from the grid and give you greater control over your household energy use.
For homeowners across Sheffield and South Yorkshire, we’ll help you explore whether solar PV is suitable for your property and what kind of system could work for you.

SOLAR PV EXPLAINED
Turn daylight Into electricity for your home
Solar panels contain photovoltaic cells that generate electricity when exposed to daylight. The electricity produced can be used immediately by appliances around your home. If your panels generate more electricity than you’re using, that excess energy can either be exported to the grid or stored in a home battery for later.
Solar panels generate electricity from daylight.
Your home uses the electricity being generated.
Excess electricity can be stored in a battery.
Electricity you don't use or store can potentially be exported to the grid.
MAKE MORE OF YOUR SOLAR ENERGY
Store energy & use It when you need it
Solar panels produce electricity during daylight hours, but that isn’t always when your home uses the most energy.
Battery storage allows you to keep more of the electricity generated by your solar panels and use it later – for example, during the evening when your panels are producing little or no electricity.
A battery can therefore help you make greater use of your own renewable electricity rather than immediately exporting surplus energy to the grid.

Home or Business?
Can I have a battery without solar panels?
Battery storage isn’t just for solar homes. A home battery doesn’t necessarily need to be installed alongside solar panels. Depending on your electricity tariff and system setup, a battery may also be charged using electricity from the grid at certain times and then used when electricity would otherwise be more expensive. Battery storage can also often be added to an existing solar PV system, so homeowners who already have solar panels don’t necessarily need to replace their existing installation.
DESIGNED AROUND YOUR PROPERTY
Getting the right solar PV system
Every property is different, so a solar installation should be designed around the roof and how electricity is used within the home. Some of the main considerations include:
The available roof area influences how many panels can potentially be installed.
The direction of the roof and shading from nearby buildings, trees or other obstacles can affect generation.
Understanding when and how much electricity you use helps determine the appropriate system.
Your electricity usage and solar generation can help determine whether adding a battery makes sense and what capacity may be appropriate.

Solar Panels & Heat Pumps - SMARTER ENERGY SYSTEMS
Can solar panels work with a heat pump?
Yes. Solar PV and heat pumps can form part of a wider home energy system.
Your solar panels generate electricity, while your heat pump uses electricity to provide heating and hot water. Although solar panels won’t necessarily generate all the electricity required by a heat pump, the electricity they produce can help reduce the amount you need to purchase from the grid.
Adding battery storage can provide even greater control over when generated electricity is used.
FOR BUSINESSES & COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES

Commercial Battery - STORE & MANAGE ENERGY -
Make better use of the energy your business generates
Battery storage can allow businesses to store electricity rather than immediately exporting surplus solar generation. The stored electricity can then be used at another time, helping businesses make better use of their renewable generation and potentially reduce reliance on grid electricity during higher-demand periods. The appropriate battery capacity will depend on the building’s electricity consumption, solar generation and how energy is used throughout the day.
