Battery Thermal Optimiser Tool

With BS7671 recently becoming law, all solar companies will likely recommend you to install a battery in a place where it will struggle to work properly over winter.

I have created interactive tool that explores how battery temperature and charging conditions affect performance and value achieved using two of the most common tariffs utilised. This tool highlights the importance of good surveying & engineering design for your system.

My engineering survey process is designed to work with you to ensure you get the best returns and do not potentially lose hundreds of pounds a year in value to a poor system design.
