Local battery storage designed around how your home uses electricity.
Mr Solar surveys, designs and installs home battery systems across Norfolk and Suffolk. We compare usable capacity, inverter power, solar generation, tariffs and backup expectations before recommending equipment.
The right battery depends on when you use energy.
Two homes with the same annual electricity consumption can need very different systems. One may have steady evening demand; another may have an EV, heat pump or large daytime loads. We look at timing as well as totals.
Solar self-consumption
Store suitable daytime surplus for evening and overnight use instead of exporting every unused unit.
Tariff shifting
On a suitable tariff, charge during lower-cost periods and discharge when grid electricity is more expensive.
Backup resilience
Compatible equipment can support designed circuits during an outage, subject to battery charge, inverter power and load.
What do common battery sizes mean?
These examples translate stored energy into a simple steady load. Actual homes vary minute by minute, so the final design uses interval data where available.
Illustrative examples
- 5 kWh: roughly 5 hours at a steady 1 kW load
- 10 kWh: roughly 10 hours at 1 kW, or 5 hours at 2 kW
- 15 kWh: roughly 7.5 hours at 2 kW
- A 7 kW EV charger could consume 10 kWh in under 90 minutes if allowed to draw from the battery
Figures are simple energy illustrations, not guaranteed runtime. Allow for battery reserve, conversion losses, temperature, ageing and changing household demand.
Battery capacity, battery power and property limits.
- Half-hourly electricity use where available
- Existing solar generation and seasonal surplus
- Inverter charge and discharge capability
- Consumer unit, supply, earthing and cable routes
- Tariff schedule and available charging window
- EV, heat-pump and future electrical loads
- Equipment location, access and clearances
- Essential-load or whole-home backup expectations
No blanket savings claim
We do not promise that every home will cut grid use by the same percentage. Results depend on consumption, generation, tariff, battery control and customer behaviour.
