Solar PV, Battery Storage & EV Services

Solar and battery storage can quickly become confusing. Different equipment, different system sizes, different savings figures  and everyone seems to have a different opinion on what you “need”.

A JBH consultation starts with you, not a product. I’ll look at your property, how and when you use electricity, what you want the system to achieve and any future plans such as an EV or heat pump.

From there, we can explore solar potential, battery requirements and equipment options  - giving you a much clearer idea of what the right system should actually look like before making any decisions.

No template package. No pressure to sign. Just practical advice based on your circumstances.

If you want to understand what your property can realistically support before inviting installers to quote, JBH can carry out a detailed pre-installation survey focused on the technical side of the project — not selling you a package on the day.

The survey can include:

Property and site assessment
Roof condition and installation considerations
Relevant MCS considerations
Shading and orientation observations
Potential inverter and battery locations
Preliminary solar array design
Photographic survey
Written JBH survey report
Key information you can use when approaching installers for quotations

The aim is to give you a much clearer picture of what a sensible system could look like, highlight any potential issues early and help you compare future quotations against something properly considered.

A proper solar and battery design is about far more than simply working out how many panels will fit on the roof.

I look at the full picture - array size, inverter sizing, battery capacity, charge and discharge rates, shading, roof orientation, export limitations, backup requirements, EV charging, future expansion and tariff opportunities - so every part of the system works together properly.

The aim is to design a system around how you actually use energy, what the property can support and what you want to achieve, rather than forcing your home into a standard package.

Better design at the start usually means better performance, fewer compromises and a system that makes more sense long-term

It’s incredibly common for homeowners to receive several quotations and end up more confused than when they started.

Different panel quantities. Different inverter sizes. Different battery capacities. Different predicted savings - and somehow every company says their option is the right one.

A JBH quote and design comparison looks beyond the headline price and breaks down what you’re actually being offered.

The aim isn’t simply to tell you Quote A is cheaper than Quote B. It’s to explain why the systems are different, identify where compromises may have been made and help you understand which proposal actually makes the most sense for your property and requirements.

Compare the design - not just the price.

Consultancy doesn’t have to stop at advice and design. If you want JBH to take the project through to completion, I can help manage the full journey from the initial design through to installation, commissioning and handover.

That can include:

System design and final specification
Technical approvals and required application processes
Equipment selection and procurement
Installation planning
Solar PV, battery storage and EV charger installation
Commissioning and system setup
Customer handover and ongoing support

The aim is to keep the project joined up from start to finish, so the system that gets installed reflects the design that was agreed  rather than losing the original thinking somewhere between quotation and completion.

One point of contact. One properly considered design. One complete project.

If something about your solar or battery installation doesn’t look right, or you simply want reassurance that the system has been properly thought through. JBH can carry out an independent technical inspection.

The review can cover:

System design and overall suitability
Equipment positioning
Cable routes and general installation layout
Roof installation observations
Battery and inverter installation
Workmanship and finish
Available documentation
Performance concerns
Potential areas that may require further investigation

Where required, I can also provide written findings and a clear report outlining any observations, concerns or recommended next steps.

The aim is to give you a practical, technically informed second opinion - whether you’re looking for reassurance, investigating a performance issue or questioning the quality of the original installation.

Clear findings. No installer bias. Just an independent technical view.
