Solar Panels

Generate more of your own electricity

Solar panels give your home the ability to produce its own renewable electricity during daylight hours, reducing the amount of energy you need to buy from the grid.

We design solar panel systems around the property rather than forcing every home into the same package. That means considering your roof, your current electricity use, your plans for the future and whether battery storage or EV charging should form part of the system.

Battery Storage

Keep more of the energy you generate

Generating electricity is only part of the picture. Battery storage allows you to store electricity for later, helping you make better use of your solar generation when the sun is no longer shining.

A battery can be installed alongside a new solar panel system or, in many cases, added to an existing installation. Carley Renewables can help you understand what size and type of battery makes sense for the way your household actually uses energy.

EV Charging

Charge your car at home

A home EV charger gives you a faster, more convenient way to charge your electric vehicle without relying entirely on public charging. It can also become part of a wider home energy system.

If you already have solar panels, or are planning a new installation, we can look at how solar generation, battery storage and EV charging can work together.

The case for renewable energy

Why homeowners are
looking at renewables

  1. 01

    Lower reliance on grid electricity

    Generate more electricity at home and reduce the amount you need to purchase from your energy supplier.

  2. 02

    Make better use of your own energy

    Store excess solar generation and use it later rather than relying solely on electricity as it is produced.

  3. 03

    Greater control over energy costs

    A well-designed system can give you more control over where your household electricity comes from and how it is used.

  4. 04

    Prepare for an electric future

    Solar panels, battery storage and EV charging can help prepare your home for changing energy needs.

  5. 05

    Reduce your carbon footprint

    Generate and use more renewable electricity from your own property.

  6. 06

    A system designed around your home

    Every property and household is different. We recommend systems based on the home and the people using it.

  • What type of property you have
  • Roughly how much electricity you use
  • What you want your system to achieve
  • Whether EV charging is part of your plans

Common questions

Questions about
renewable energy?

Do solar panels work when it is cloudy?

Yes. Solar panels still generate electricity from daylight when conditions are cloudy, although output will vary depending on the weather, season and system design.

Do I need battery storage with solar panels?

Not necessarily. Solar panels can work perfectly well without a battery, although battery storage can help you retain more of the electricity you generate for use later.

Can I add a battery to an existing solar panel system?

In many cases, yes. The right approach depends on the existing solar installation, inverter and the battery system being considered.

Can solar panels help charge an electric car?

Yes. Solar generation can contribute towards the electricity used by a home EV charger, although the exact amount depends on generation, household demand and when the vehicle is charging.

What size solar panel system do I need?

There is no single answer. Roof space, orientation, electricity usage, budget and future plans can all affect the most appropriate system.

Do you cover areas outside Hastings?

Yes. Carley Renewables works across East Sussex, including St Leonards, Bexhill, Battle, Rye, Eastbourne and surrounding areas.
