Smarter Energy
for Your Home

The biggest savings usually come from using as much of your own solar-generated electricity as possible rather than buying electricity from the grid.

A battery helps you do this by storing surplus electricity generated when the sun is shining so you can use it in the evening or whenever your electricity demand is higher.

Depending on your tariff and system configuration, a battery may also be able to charge from the grid when electricity is cheaper.

Your actual savings will depend on your electricity consumption, system size, battery capacity, energy tariff and how you use energy throughout the day.

That’s why we model your expected generation and usage when recommending a system rather than relying on headline savings figures.

No. Solar panels work perfectly well without battery storage, but adding a battery can allow you to use more of the renewable electricity your home generates.

Without a battery, unused solar electricity is normally exported to the grid.

With battery storage, surplus generation can be stored and used later when the panels aren’t producing enough electricity.

If you already have solar PV, battery storage can also often be retrofitted to an existing system.

The right choice depends on your electricity consumption, lifestyle, tariff and what you want your system to achieve.

Yes. Eligible households can receive payment for surplus renewable electricity exported to the grid through a Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariff or other export tariffs offered by electricity suppliers.

Export rates and conditions vary considerably between suppliers, so it’s worth comparing tariffs rather than assuming the highest advertised rate will automatically be the best overall energy deal.

Adding battery storage can also give you greater control over whether you use, store or export your solar electricity.

Yes – and for many homeowners, combining solar panels with a home EV charger is a great way to make more use of the electricity generated by their roof.

Compatible smart EV chargers can be configured to make use of surplus solar generation, helping reduce the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid to charge your vehicle.

When designing a system, we can consider your solar PV, battery storage and EV charger together so they work as one integrated home energy system rather than three separate products.

A typical domestic solar panel installation can often be completed within a few days once scaffolding and preparation are in place, although larger or more complex installations may take longer.

Battery storage and EV charger installations can often be incorporated into the same project, reducing disruption.

Before work starts, we’ll explain the installation process, access requirements, expected timescale and any planned interruption to your electricity supply.

Once commissioned, we’ll also show you how to monitor and use your new system so you’re comfortable getting the most from it.

Greenio provides solar panel, battery storage and EV charger installations across the East Midlands and surrounding areas, supporting both homeowners and businesses.

Our core service area includes Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Rutland, including Newark-on-Trent, Nottingham, Lincoln, Grantham, Sleaford, Leicester, Melton Mowbray, Stamford, Oakham, Mansfield, Retford and the surrounding towns and villages.

For larger commercial solar PV, battery storage and EV charging projects, we can work across a much wider geographical area, so please contact us to discuss your site and requirements.

Whether you’re looking for domestic solar panels near you or planning a larger commercial renewable energy project, our team can advise on design, installation and ongoing support.
