Battery storage systems allow you to capture and use more of the electricity generated by your solar panels. Instead of exporting unused energy back to the grid, a battery stores it for when you need it most. Whether that is during the evening, overnight or on days with low sunlight, it helps reduce your reliance on the grid and makes your home more energy efficient.
At AJM Electrical, we design and install reliable battery storage systems that work seamlessly with your existing solar PV setup. Based in Somerton, our local team helps homeowners take greater control of their energy and maximise the benefits of renewable power.
Our qualified engineers carry out every installation safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to your property. Most modern solar PV systems can be upgraded with battery storage at any time, so there is no need to replace your existing setup.
We begin with a free on site survey to assess your current solar generation, energy usage and available space. We then recommend a system that fits your household demand and future needs. Once installed, the system operates automatically, charging and discharging to balance your energy use.
All work is completed by our fully trained team in line with the latest standards. AJM Electrical is accredited by MCS, NICEIC and RECC, giving you full peace of mind that your installation meets recognised safety and quality requirements.
As a family run business in Somerton, we take pride in providing honest advice and high quality workmanship without the hard sell. Our goal is to help local homeowners and businesses enjoy the long term benefits of clean, low cost energy through practical renewable solutions.
Many of our customers choose to combine solar panel and battery storage installations as part of one complete package, creating a fully integrated system that delivers year round performance and efficiency. Add on a voltage optimiser for a complete energy-saving solution.
