Solar Battery Storage in Monmouth
Solar batteries can be installed after a solar PV system is installed or as part of a comprehensive system. If you are considering installing solar PV, we recommend installing a solar battery. Solar batteries store electricity generated by your solar panels and can also be charged directly from the grid during off-peak hours. This is a great way to use your solar panels during the day for electricity, and then use your battery in the evening to continue meeting your electricity requirements.
RCJ Electrical designs and installs advanced battery storage systems for homes and businesses across Monmouth. We can upgrade your current system or install a comprehensive system that includes a solar battery. Get in touch with our solar experts today to discuss your project and harness the power of solar batteries for your property.
Domestic Solar Panel Installation
Many homeowners are deciding to install solar PV systems. Energy bills are constantly increasing, and you have a lot of uncertainty about the bills that you will get. Investing in solar effectively locks in your energy costs, and once your system is fully paid off by the electricity it generates, it produces free electricity. You will also increase your home’s value, as solar is extremely popular and can reduce homeowners’ energy bills.
Commercial Solar Panels in Monmouth
Businesses can massively benefit from solar panel installation and solar battery storage. If you have large commercial premises, you’re likely to have unused roofspace. This can be used to generate electricity for your business, which eventually becomes free and powers your operations. Large commercial buildings achieve much faster returns due to the amount of roof space they have available.
We have worked with clients across many sectors, providing commercial solar panel system design and installation. We will work with you and discuss the various ways to fund your solar panels. We will create a design that suits you, and then a plan of action that minimises disruption and allows your commercial business to fully benefit from solar.
Commercial buildings are much larger than domestic properties and often have unused roofspace. You will have extensive electricity usage each year, so you will save more on the electricity you use, whilst also generating a lot more electricity. Consider installing solar panels for your commercial property if you do not have them and have unused roof space.
There are many different ways to fund your solar panels for some businesses, such as farms, where solar panels will be treated as plant and equipment. They can be used for plant and machinery allowance to claim capital allowances on the installation costs. The most common ways to pay for your solar panels are cash, CapEx, or financing options.
Commercial solar panels are often permitted development for your commercial building, unless you are in a conservation area or have a listed building. For large-scale solar installations, such as solar farms, you will need a range of different permissions.
We will provide you with a free assessment, then discuss the system you require and create designs for your specific system. Once you are happy to proceed with the installation, we will arrange a site visit and then install your solar panels. We then provide maintenance and servicing, along with any aftercare you may need.
The installation process will depend on the size of your roof, the number of panels and the complexity of installation. If you do need planning permission for whatever reason, this will typically add 8 weeks onto the project. Permits and approvals are usually the longest part of the project; the actual installation of the panels can be done in a day or a few days, depending on the number of panels, roof access, and weather. We will provide you with accurate guidelines at the time of the project.
The glass of the solar panels needs to be cleaned of grime and debris to ensure maximum efficiency. Apart from this, they require no maintenance. If you have a current system that needs maintenance, this is not normal and may indicate an issue with the original installation, damage to the panels, cabling, or misalignment. If you don’t have access to, or safe access to, the roof, we can professionally clean your panels. Solar batteries will use up their total charge capacity over their lifespan, and they need regular maintenance (at least once a year) to check cabling, charge levels, and corrosion, as well as other components.
For solar panels on homes and many business buildings, they fall under permitted development, so you don’t need to apply for planning permission; you only need to notify under building regulations. Properties in conservation areas or listed buildings will typically require planning permission. Large commercial projects and specific sectors such as large solar farms require specialist permissions, which we cover in the “commercial FAQs” section.
Yes, all solar panel systems come with manufacturer warranties. Most panels include a 20-25-year performance warranty, while inverters are typically covered for 5-10 years. We provide an option to extend this period if required. We also offer solar maintenance plans that include inspections, cleaning, and performance checks to ensure everything continues running efficiently over time.

The best orientation for south-facing panels is south. East and west-facing panels are appropriate, but north-facing panels will be less efficient. Larger systems feature some north-facing panels. Still, shaded roofs or largely north-facing roofs are often not suitable for installation due to Monmouth’s (& Wales / UK) lack of high sunlight hours in the summer vs limited in the winter. You can install solar panels on flat roofs as long as there are no obstructions.
Yes, damaged or structurally insecure roofs will require reinforcement to allow panels to be installed safely.
Yes, in some cases, you can install panels at ground level if you have the available land.
The number of solar panels needed to power a house in Monmouth depends on factors such as annual electricity usage, panel wattage, roof size, and more. That being said, there are reliable averages that you can use to estimate how many panels your home may need.
For example, a small home or flat (1-2 bedrooms) using around 1,800 kWh per year typically needs 4-8 panels. An average 3-bedroom home using about 2,700 kWh annually would need 8-13 panels. Larger family homes (4-5 bedrooms) with usage between 3,300-4,100 kWh per year generally require 13-18 panels. Contact RCJ Electrical today for an accurate quote on solar panels for your home.
Yes, solar panels still work on cloudy days and typical UK weather. Modern solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunlight. This means they continue to produce power even when it’s overcast. Although output will be higher on bright sunny days, you can still expect to generate a meaningful amount of electricity year-round.
The cost for solar panels in Monmouth will depend on factors such as your roof size, energy usage and whether you need a battery installed. We offer fast, accurate price estimates for both commercial and domestic properties throughout Monmouth. Contact 01633 270 285 for your free estimate today.
No, a solar battery isn’t essential, but it’s recommended to increase your savings. Solar panels work without a battery, powering your home during the day and exporting any unused electricity to the grid. However, having a battery lets you store unused electricity, allowing you to power your home in the evening and at night.
Solar panels are designed to last 25 to 30 years or longer. We provide a 25-year warranty on our solar panels and carry out maintenance, cleaning, and performance checks to ensure your solar system runs efficiently.
