Do I need south-facing roof?
Ideal, but east/west splits work well — often better for self-consumption against morning and evening loads.
Solar PV • battery storage • Tesla Powerwall
Solar that earns its keep — designed around your actual daily load.
A solar array on its own is fine. A solar + battery + smart charging + heat pump system designed together is transformational. Kinergy plans your PV, inverter and battery around the load that matters: your car, your hot water, and your running costs.

Battery choice depends on roof layout, phase configuration, backup-power priority, warranty and cycle life. We'll match the system to your actual goals, not a fixed bundle.
How we design
The four questions we answer before sizing anything.
1. What's your load profile?
Half-hourly smart-meter data where available. EV charging habits. Hot water timing. If a heat pump is in the plan, we model its winter draw.
2. What's the roof actually capable of?
Orientation, pitch, shading, structural load, and whether you want in-roof (integrated) or on-roof mounting.
3. How much resilience do you want?
Grid-tied only, partial backup of key circuits, or whole-home island-mode capability — each changes the inverter/battery spec.
4. What are we planning for in 2–5 years?
Second EV? Heat pump retrofit? Home extension? We size the DNO application and consumer unit headroom now so you don't redo works later.
Typical spec
What a domestic Kinergy solar + battery install usually looks like.
- PV array
- 4–10 kWp, tier-1 mono panels, MCS-certified mounting, DC isolation.
- Inverter
- Hybrid string or microinverters depending on shading profile.
- Battery
- Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh) or modular GivEnergy/Fox from 5 kWh upward.
- Monitoring
- Live app monitoring of generation, consumption, battery state and grid import/export.
- EV integration
- Solar-follow charging via Ohme, Zappi or Tesla Wall Connector where compatible.
- DNO
- G99 application handled by us for systems above 3.68 kW single-phase.
Social housing / district-scale
Solar paired with district heating, Kettering.
Solar PV powering outdoor AC condensers paired with a district heating system delivering 75°C flow. Renewable heat and cooling at community scale — proof that residential-style low-carbon tech scales into social-housing estates when it's designed as one system.

Before you commit the roof.
What payback should I expect?
Varies with load profile and battery, but typically 7–12 years on a well-sized domestic system — faster with EV and heat pump in the mix.
Is export still worth it?
Smart Export Guarantee rates vary; we'll model both self-consumption and export to show the real number.
Can I add battery later?
Yes if the inverter is hybrid-ready. We flag it at design stage so you're not stuck with AC-only retrofits.
