Prepare your battery project
BEFORE YOU PREPARE AN ENQUIRY
Use household electricity records to assess storage. A town renewable-energy study cannot size your battery.
North Somerset's Portishead renewable energy study, dated April 2021, assesses wider opportunities. Its rooftop discussion calls for more detailed local analysis. Do not use a town-wide resource figure as the output estimate for your house or as a battery size recommendation.

With existing panels, gather generation and import/export records plus the inverter model. Without panels, gather your consumption pattern and tariff details. With planned panels, keep their forecast separate from measured use. Ask the assessor which records support the proposed battery size and charging plan.

Compare usable capacity in kWh, meaning energy available to use, with charging and discharge power in kW, meaning how quickly energy can flow. Ask about compatible equipment, installation position and any backup circuits. Capacity alone does not establish backup or savings; ask what extra design or equipment any backup function needs.

FROM IDEA TO A WRITTEN PROPOSAL
These are preparation and assessment stages, not a booked service. Provider acceptance must be confirmed separately.
State whether solar is existing, planned or absent, and whether your aim is using more solar, tariff charging or backup. Bristol Solar Panel Installers is a referral business; this enquiry prepares details and sends nothing.
A professional would assess equipment compatibility, household records and a suitable installation position. Ask them to explain the usable capacity and power proposed, and how the charging plan relates to your actual use.
Check equipment, usable capacity, charge and discharge power, scope and costs. If backup matters, get the supported circuits and required equipment explained separately. Confirm provider acceptance before arranging work; a town study cannot establish suitability.
MAKE THE NEXT CONVERSATION USEFUL
Use information you already have. The receiving provider would need to confirm the service and assess the property before proposing work.
Read the home storage guide ↗YOUR LOCAL QUESTIONS
Yes. Say that you have no panels and bring consumption and tariff details. A professional needs to assess the charging plan and suitability; this enquiry does not confirm provider acceptance or savings.
No. Usable capacity in kWh describes the energy available to use. Power in kW describes how quickly the system can charge or supply energy. Ask for both figures when comparing proposals.
Do not assume so. Ask whether the proposed system includes backup, which circuits it can support and what additional equipment or design is required.
No. The April 2021 study concerns wider renewable opportunities. Household sizing needs your consumption, starting equipment and intended charging pattern.
