Solar PV & Battery Storage

Solar PV and battery storage enquiries are most useful when they begin with the property and what you hope to achieve. You may be considering solar panels, exploring battery storage or looking at how an existing system could fit future plans. DWE LTD welcomes enquiries in Flintshire and North Wales, with project suitability and scope confirmed during quotation.

Set out your priorities

Explain what has prompted the enquiry and how the property is used. The conversation may be different for a home occupied throughout the day, premises with a regular working schedule or a property with equipment already installed. If you have a particular product or system in mind, share the details so its relevance can be discussed.

• Provide your postcode and a description of the property.
• Explain whether the enquiry concerns a new system or existing equipment.
• Mention any planned roof work, renovation or changes in energy use.
• Share available system information and a broad picture of your electricity use.

Look at the whole project

Available space, shading, roof condition, equipment locations and access are examples of factors that may need assessment. Battery proposals also need to be considered alongside the electrical installation and any existing generation equipment. A photograph or initial description can start the discussion, but it cannot establish suitability on its own.

Keep the assumptions behind a proposal visible. If estimated output, costs or potential savings are discussed, ask what property information and usage assumptions they rely on. Outcomes vary, so the scope should be based on the particular project rather than a general promise about performance or payback.

Clarify the proposal and responsibilities

Before proceeding, discuss the proposed equipment, included work, exclusions and any requirements involving other parties. Relevant product documentation, monitoring arrangements and handover information should be clear. If access or other building work is needed, establish how it fits within the wider project.

Send DWE LTD a short outline of your plans and your preferred timing. There is no need to access the roof or open equipment to prepare an enquiry; existing information and safely taken photos are a useful starting point.
