Product ranges and specifications change regularly. Your proposal identifies the exact equipment, capacity and warranties being offered.

Independent system design

We choose around what your home needs the system to do

Battery capacity is only one part of the decision. Inverter output, solar input, backup capability, charge rate, physical size, monitoring and tariff control can be just as important.

Power output Can the inverter support the loads you expect it to run?
Battery capacity Enough storage to be useful without buying capacity you rarely use.
Backup Essential-circuit or whole-home backup where required and suitable.
Tariff control Schedule charging, self-use and export around compatible smart tariffs.
Solar integration Correct MPPT, voltage and array design for new solar installations.
Future expansion Consider EVs, heat pumps, additional solar and higher electricity use.

Different ways to build the system

Solar and battery storage are not one-size-fits-all

The same products are not appropriate for every project. We can design around a new installation, existing solar, an older Feed-in Tariff system or a larger commercial load.

PV

Solar only

Generate electricity during daylight hours, use it in the property and export suitable surplus energy.

HY

Hybrid solar + battery

A combined inverter and battery approach for new installations where solar and storage are designed together.

AC

Battery retrofit

Add storage alongside an existing PV system without necessarily replacing the original solar inverter.

3Ø

Commercial & 3-phase

Larger solar and storage systems designed around site demand, available supply and DNO requirements.

Already have solar?

Battery storage can often be added to an existing system

Customers with older solar — including qualifying Feed-in Tariff installations — may be able to add battery storage. The design, metering and documentation need to be handled correctly.

Keep the existing solar where it makes sense

An AC-coupled battery can often work alongside an existing solar inverter. In other cases, replacing older equipment with a modern hybrid inverter can provide additional control or functionality.

Protect the paperwork

Feed-in Tariff customers should keep proper records and notify their FIT licensee where required. We can help review the existing system before recommending changes.

Installation standards

The equipment is only part of the finished system

Product specifications matter, but so do the electrical design, mounting, protection, commissioning, monitoring and paperwork. Mr Solar works within recognised renewable-energy and electrical-industry schemes.

Choosing equipment

Common product questions

Which battery brand is best?

There is no single best battery for every home. The right choice depends on power requirements, usable capacity, backup needs, solar configuration, tariff, installation location and budget.

Is Tesla always the premium option?

Tesla Powerwall is a strong premium home-energy product, especially where high output and integrated backup are priorities. Other platforms can offer greater flexibility or a lower installed cost depending on the project.

Can I mix solar panels and batteries from different manufacturers?

Often yes, depending on system architecture. An AC-coupled battery can operate alongside many existing solar systems, while hybrid systems need compatible battery and inverter combinations.

How large should my battery be?

Battery size should be based on usable energy demand rather than simply buying the largest available unit. We look at consumption, evening load, solar generation and smart-tariff opportunities.

Do all batteries provide power during a blackout?

No. Backup capability depends on the battery, inverter and electrical design. Some systems require additional gateway or changeover equipment, while others may provide only selected emergency circuits.

Can the system charge from cheap overnight electricity?

Many modern battery systems can schedule grid charging during lower-cost periods where the tariff and system configuration allow. We can explain the options during system design.

Compare before you decide

Not sure which solar or battery system to choose?

Tell us about your electricity use, property and priorities. We can compare suitable options rather than pushing one manufacturer.

“I’ve decided to go entirely off the grid but had no actual clue where to start. These guys went above and beyond with their support, working out all of the intricacies of the project with me. Now, I can confidently say that I’ve got exactly what I needed. You’ve done a wonderful job!”

Julia Mann

I used Mr Solar for a system install on my home. The team responded quickly to my request for quote and the quote itself was great. Good price, fast installation and since the system was installed, Ian Gilfedder (owner) has been nothing but supportive in setting the system up. Nothing but good things to say. Great service, great price and friendly team.

Mr G Kooi, Belton, Norfolk

Re Mr. Solar
We were keen to have solar panels installed but were not sure of the system that would be best for us. We contacted several potential installers (some of whom did not even acknowledge our enquiries) to ask for advice and a cost estimate. Ian at Mr. Solar did get back to us quickly and fixed a date to come and talk us through possible systems and give us an estimate of the cost involved. The quote from Mr. Solar was competitive and Ian was happy to talk through the installation with us before we made our final decision. We did have quotes from nationwide companies but were keen to work with a local company.
When it came to the actual installation the team from Mr. Solar were excellent. Although we had some very challenging weather conditions with bouts of heavy rain and very low temperatures the team worked uncomplainingly and got things done more or less on schedule. Just as importantly the system is working well even in winter conditions and has been adjusted to try and meet our needs at all stages.
We feel we could recommend Mr. Solar to anybody looking for a domestic solar installation

 

Mr Mead Gorleston, Gorleston, Norfolk

We highly recommend using Mr Solar.

I had a quote from Ian who was knowledgeable and straightforward with his advice. The quote was reasonable, we decided to use Mr Solar and were not disappointed. The installation went smoothly, with Ken electrician and the lads, panel installers, all doing a fabulous job.We have been generating electricity from our solar panels for approximately five weeks and we are already very pleased with the system. Even on grey days of which there have been many lol, we have saved money on our electricity bill. Very professional and the service couldn’t have been better.

Recently had my solar panels and battery fitted by Mr Solar. A throughly professional service from start to finish. I’m very happy with the new set up. I would recommend them to anyone thinking of getting solar Panels fitted.

Ian Beales, Suffolk

We were very pleased with Mr Solar’s company. The electricians and roofers were very polite, diligent and tidy. They discussed the work in advance and kept us up to date as they went along. They worked in all weathers to keep the job on time. The equipment was upgraded to a higher spec battery & inverter at no extra cost and the panels were among the highest power and efficiency available. They are a local company and I would recommend them.

David Buckley

My solar panels, installed by another company were not working and there were complications. From the first phone call, and prompt response, service has been exemplary, with efforts made to resolve the problems as efficiently and economically as possible. Every step of the way was explained carefully and fully and the friendly and professional team cannot be faulted.
Thank you to the entire ‘Mr Solar’ team; I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Brilliant, outstanding, exemplary service – look no futher!

Company Comments; We stripped the system off the roof as only held on with a few brackets on each rail, Repaired all MC4 terminals as poor connections and arking, replaced all Solar Edge Optimisers, Solar edge inverter replaced as they had been fried.

Reverend Albert Cadmore, Norfolk

Mr Solar and team provided us with a bespoke solar solution. I would highly recommend them for solar installations in the Norfolk region

Pankaj Garg, Norwich

I contacted Mr Solar pv for a quote to install a solar system on my bungalow. The quote was very competitive compared to my other enquiries which prompted me to up my game and go for a storage system which again was very competivly priced. My system was installed on time and I was surprised at just how much work was involved doing all the electrical stuff. Our electrician was first class, being both pleasant and very technically skilled. On completion I noticed how neat and tidy the install was all tucked away in the roof space.All the information I require is on an app on my phone, so I dont need to visit the roof space to see whats happening.I am very happy with my dealings with Mr Solar PV , and more importantly Im confident that their customer service is as good as it should be. Contact was excellent at all times and I felt like I was valued as a customer. Would I use them again? you bet I would.

Mel Hodkinson, Kettering

My father had had batteries fitted to his solar panels via another company not by Mr Solar, but when it came to put in his figures for his payment, they had generated very little. He contacted the company who promised to come out on numerous occasions but never came back. Dad contacted Mr Solar who was happy to help and found the inverter had not been set up right. Thanks to mr Solar everything is back up and running. We are very grateful.

Mr Solar saves the day….

Thoroughly recommend

Great service from start to finish from Ian and the team. Ian made the initial home visit to discuss my options and review what as already installed. The supplied quote covered all my requirements at a great price and the installation was all completed in good time. I would thoroughly recommend them and find local companies to be far cheaper and professional than the ‘cold calling’ national ones!

Paul Thomas

WOW!

In these times of mediocrity how refreshing to receive such a service from a local company. Within a week of visiting us the install began with 6.8KV of solar panels and 19KW of battery storage. Forget the national companies as this was by far the cheapest quote we had. Save money and go local, you will not be dissapointed.
A big thank you to Ian and his team.

Mr Thomas

Thanks for all the support you have given us setting the solar system up. Your team has been excellent, very friendly, highly experienced and practiced in their skills. Is this a service I would recommend to my family and friends, without doubt.

martin williams review

fast and friendly service

replaced a faulty inverter in a very awkward loft. did a sterling job, the guys were friendly and helpful, and tha lady in the office couldn’t have helped more. Would thoroughly recommend.

Nigel H

Excellent service
Just had solar panels fitted by Mr Solar and already saving on electricity on a dull January day! Ian was very informative when doing the quote (which was competitive). The fitters, Russell and Haydon, were excellent – hard working, polite, respectful and tidy, even when they were on the roof in a snow storm. Early days but looking good.

Anne Richardson

Help and advice when it is needed.
I purchased my system from Mr Solar just over a year ago and have had excellent performance from the system. I view my daily intake etc from an app on my phone. Due to building works near to me, we recently lost internet connection for over 4 days and nights. When we got the net back, I noticed my app had re connected but changed. I was getting power from the panels but the battery wasnt giving it up when needed. On an off chance, I phoned Mr Solar,s office on a Saturday for help and within a couple of hours, Ian was on the phone sorting the problem remotely.
He had got my message while at home but chose to respond anyhow. I cant tell you how rare and valued that kind of service is in this day and age and a serious point to consider when considering who to purchase your system from. Thanks Mr Solar.
