Why Choose Us
Professional AC-Side Solar Grid Connections
A solar PV system is only as reliable as its electrical connection. Our team ensures that your inverter is safely linked to your home consumer unit through high-quality AC cabling and properly located rotary isolators. We prioritise safety by installing Type 2 Surge Protection Devices to shield your sensitive inverter electronics from voltage spikes, which are common in rural and village environments. We also ensure that all circuit protection, including bidirectional RCBOs, is correctly rated to handle the back-fed power inherent in modern solar arrays.

Who We Are
Battery Storage and Smart Energy Integration
Maximising your self-consumption is the key to an efficient energy system. We specialise in the electrical integration of hybrid inverters and battery storage units, ensuring your current consumer unit can safely handle the additional load. For those looking to heat their water using excess solar power, we install solar immersion diverters such as the Myenergi Eddi. This allows you to divert surplus electricity into your immersion heater, effectively storing energy as heat rather than exporting it to the grid.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Solar Pv Electrical Connections in Steyning Questions
Answers to common questions about our Solar Pv Electrical Connections in Steyning
Do I need to upgrade my fuse box before installing solar panels?
In many cases, an upgrade is necessary. Modern solar systems require specific safety components like Type A RCBOs and Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) to comply with BS 7671 Amendment 2. If your Steyning home still has an old-style fuse board with rewireable fuses, we will need to replace it with a modern metal-clad unit to handle the solar input safely.
What is a UKPN notification and why is it required?
UK Power Networks (UKPN) manages the electrical infrastructure in our area. Because solar panels and batteries change the way power enters and leaves your property, they must be notified to keep the local grid stable. We handle this process for you, making sure your system is officially registered, which is often a requirement if you want to get paid for the energy you export.
Can you add a battery to a solar system I already have?
Yes, most older solar setups can be retrofitted with battery storage. We usually achieve this by installing an AC-coupled battery system. This involves adding new AC isolators and the correct cabling to link the battery into your current electrical distribution board. We cover all properties within 10 miles of our Henfield base, including Steyning and Woodmancote.
How does a solar immersion diverter work?
A diverter monitors how much electricity you are exporting to the grid. When it sees you have surplus power, it automatically directs that energy to the immersion heater in your hot water cylinder. This happens before the power leaves your house, allowing you to store energy as hot water rather than sending it away.
