Answer 4 quick questions
Question 1 of 6
Do you already have solar panels?
If you do, a battery retrofit is usually the quickest win.
Make your home work for you.
JBRC Ltd is an established Nottingham electrical contractor, and solar PV with battery storage is the natural extension of the work we already do every day: consumer units, earthing, load calculations, EV chargers and certification. Our team has completed formal solar and battery storage training, so the design and the electrical installation are handled by the same accountable firm rather than split between a sales company and a subcontracted fitter.
That matters more than it sounds. A large share of the underperforming solar systems we are called out to were installed quickly and certified poorly: undersized DC cabling, isolators mounted where the weather destroys them, batteries fitted without a proper load assessment, or a consumer unit that was never suitable for the additional generation circuit in the first place. We approach a solar install the way we approach a rewire, with testing and paperwork at the end of it.
Whether you want a brand-new array on a Wollaton semi, a battery retrofitted to panels installed a decade ago in West Bridgford, or a combined solar, storage and EV charger installation done in one visit, the process starts the same way: a free consultation and a survey that tells you honestly what your roof can do.
Why solar and battery storage is worth doing properly.
The panels are only half the story. What decides your return is how much of your own generation you actually use.
Cut your electricity bills
Generate your own electricity through the day instead of buying every unit from the grid. On a typical Nottingham semi with a south-facing pitch, a 4.4 kWp array produces roughly 4,000 kWh a year.
Use your power day and night
Without storage, most of what you generate at midday is exported for pennies. A battery holds it back for the 4pm to 10pm peak, when your house actually uses the most electricity.
Less exposure to the grid
Charge the battery on a cheap off-peak tariff overnight, run the house from it during the expensive hours, and keep essential circuits going when supply is unstable.
A more sellable home
A properly certified solar and storage system with paperwork behind it is an asset at survey time, unlike an undocumented install with no certificates.
Genuinely lower carbon
Every kWh you generate and use yourself is a kWh that does not come from the national grid mix. Pair it with an EV charger and the numbers get better again.
Certified electrical work
We are NICEIC Approved Contractors and Part P registered. Solar and battery work is electrical work, and it is tested, certified and notified like any other installation we carry out.
Design, installation, retrofit and maintenance.
Custom system design
We measure the usable roof, check pitch, orientation and shading, read your actual half-hourly consumption where available, and size the array and battery around how you really use electricity, not a generic package.
Solar PV installation
Full in-roof or on-roof arrays with scaffolding, mounting, DC isolation, inverter, AC connection, generation metering and consumer unit alterations where needed. Clean cable routes, no trailing conduit across brickwork.
Battery storage & retrofits
New hybrid systems, or a high-capacity smart battery retrofitted to solar panels you already own. We check inverter compatibility first and tell you honestly if a retrofit is not worth it on your setup.
Testing, servicing & fault-finding
Annual performance checks, inverter fault diagnosis, string testing, isolator replacement and repairs on systems installed by other companies that have stopped generating properly.
Three ways we can set your home up.
Every system is designed around your roof and your usage, so we quote after a free survey rather than publishing figures that would not apply to your home.
Solar PV only
Roof array sized to your property, hybrid-ready inverter, generation monitoring and full certification
Best if you use most of your electricity during the day
Solar PV + battery
Array plus a storage battery and hybrid inverter, so daytime generation is available in the evening
Our most requested domestic package
Battery retrofit
Storage added to an existing solar array, AC or DC coupled after we check your inverter
For homes that already have panels
Every quote is fixed and itemised, and covers installation, commissioning, BS 7671 certification and DNO notification. Scaffolding on complex or three-storey roofs, consumer unit upgrades and non-standard cable runs are shown as their own line so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
From first call to switch-on.
- 1
Free consultation
A short call to understand your bills, your roof and whether you want solar, storage or both. No pressure, no sales script.
- 2
Site survey
We inspect the roof structure, loft, supply, earthing arrangement and consumer unit, then take shading readings across the day.
- 3
Written design & quote
You get a fixed, itemised quote with panel and battery specifications, predicted generation, and an honest saving estimate.
- 4
Installation
Most domestic installs are completed in one to two days once scaffolding is up, with the property left clean each evening.
- 5
Test, certify & hand over
Commissioning, BS 7671 testing, certification, DNO notification and a walkthrough of the monitoring app so you know exactly what your system is doing.
Get the most from your own generation.
