Every House Needs a Backup Plan – Is Yours Ready?

Picture this: the power’s out.

  • No lights.
  • No heating.
  • No phone charger.
  • And no idea when it’s coming back.

That’s not a doomsday headline. That’s what can happen when the grid goes down. And with today’s energy system under pressure, it’s not a question of if, it’s when.

The good news? With solar panels and a battery system, your home can stay up and running; no drama, no diesel generator, no fuss.

Why You Can’t Rely on the Grid

Let’s call it what it is: our electricity grid is stretched. Here’s why it matters to you:

  • The UK grid is under more pressure than ever.
  • More EVs, electric heating and smart homes = more demand.
  • Geopolitical chaos has sent energy prices through the roof.
  • National Grid has already warned us that blackouts are possible.

In short – don’t bet your home’s safety on the grid.

Solar + Battery = Power When It Matters Most

We install smart, reliable systems that keep your home powered day and night, even during a blackout.

Here’s what that looks like:

  • SolarEdge: Smart, high-efficiency solar systems that maximise generation, even on complex roofs.
  • FoxESS Batteries: Quiet, powerful and sleek. Designed to store your solar power and keep your home ticking.

It’s Not Just Backup, It’s a Whole New Strategy

Think of it like home insurance.
Only instead of sitting in a drawer, it saves you money every single day.

✅ Lower bills
✅ Use your own energy first
✅ Store power to use when prices spike
