These Guys are really good. Great collaboration during spec and design, installed and delivered when they said they would and installed to plan. Great after installation support too. 36 panels and 60kwh of batteries so a big system. Its outperforming the specs by about 40% right now. Today the system made 92 kWh.

We recently had a Solar Panel Installation completed by Platinum Electrical Solutions and honestly couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Ours was not a straightforward job at all, the house is Grade II listed, with restrictions from the local authority, and we were really keen to find a solution that was highly functional and efficient but also as discreet as possible. In particular, we didn’t want any panels visible from the front, rear, or sides of the property at ground level. Platinum completely understood this requirement and worked around it brilliantly, resulting in the panels being positioned within the roof gully so they are virtually invisible while still performing exactly as needed. After careful scoping and planning, the end result was an in-roof (recessed) solar panel system with associated battery storage, inverter and EPS (emergency power supply). The system blends in perfectly with the property and respects the historic nature of the building, exactly what we were hoping for. The team were fantastic throughout. They worked to the highest standards, were professional, extremely tidy, courteous, and genuinely respectful of the fact they were working on a listed property. They also helped us navigate some of the restrictions and challenges that come with listed buildings, including ensuring there are no visible cables with most of the cabling run underground, which makes a huge difference aesthetically. The results have been amazing, even considering we’re in winter and solar generation is lower. Our electricity bills have dropped from around £10–£12 a day to under £2 a day, which is incredible. This is a real testament to the initial planning and making sure the battery storage was sized correctly from day one. We are extremely happy with the solution and wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Platinum Electrical Solutions to anyone considering solar especially if you have a tricky or sensitive property.

Matt and his team have been so helpful navigating the confusing world of solar panels, batteries, chargers and beyond. Nothing has been too much trouble and everything has been clearly explained at every stage. Such a refreshing change from a series of providers we had previously struggled with. There is real attention to detail and a bespoke level of service and aftercare that we have been so pleased with, as well as a lot of market knowledge to help guide you to achieve maximum performance. They’re all just a really nice bunch of people to deal with too.

I've had the pleasure of working with Platinum Electrical on multiple occasions on a number of properties I manage and I couldn't be more impressed with his professionalism and expertise. Whether it's a routine maintenance issue or a more complex electrical problem, Stephen always approaches the task with thoroughness and attention to detail. The quality of work is top-notch, and the communication throughout the process is clear and timely. Platinum Electrical is reliable, punctual, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything is up to code and running smoothly. It's reassuring to know I can count on them for any electrical needs, big or small. I highly recommend Platinum Electrical to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy electrician.

NO SOLAR PANELS?

What if I can’t have solar panels?

Absolutely fine—lots of homes can’t (thatched or listed roofs, flats, rented properties, shaded roofs, conservation rules). You can still cut bills and improve energy resilience with a battery-only system that charges from the grid at cheaper times and powers your home when prices are high.

Can I still save on energy without solar?

Yes. With a smart time-of-use tariff, a home battery charges overnight (off-peak) and discharges during peak hours. That “load shifting” reduces your daytime unit cost and can meaningfully lower bills. You also get backup capability (model-dependent) for outages. Savings depend on your usage, battery size and tariff spread—but many households see a solid reduction without any PV on the roof.

When can I see a return? depends on the price gap between your off-peak and peak rates. If you can consistently shift ~4–6 kWh/day from ~26p/kWh peak to single-digit off-peak, payback often lands ~8–12 years (longer if the tariff spread is smaller or usage is low). For context, EST say each stored kWh you use at night saves ~14p—a conservative baseline.

HOW MUCH DOES SOLAR COST?

What is the typical cost of a solar installation?

It obviously depends on the size of the house and lots of other factors however as a guide – In Herts/Beds/Bucks, most 4–5 kW home solar installs land between £5.3k–£7.8k. Add a typical 5–10 kWh battery and you’re usually in the £11k–£15.5k range. In Outer London, factor a little extra for labour/overheads.

 

How long before it pays for itself?

  • Solar PV only (typical home ~3.5–4 kWp): around 10–12 years in the South (e.g., London), stretching to 12–15 years further north or if you’re out most days. That’s Energy Saving Trust’s current guidance based on the July 2025 price cap. 

  • Solar + Battery: commonly ~7–12 years depending on battery size, your evening usage, and whether you’re on a time-of-use tariff (faster if you self-consume more of your solar).

    Savings/payback swing with: your roof/output, when you’re home to use solar, battery size, tariff spread (peak vs off-peak), SEG export rate, and kit/installation costs.
