New solar panels and battery storage in Petersfield
Battery capacity is only one part of the decision. Daily consumption, evening and overnight use, existing PV output, tariff timings and whether you need backup all affect the design. A standard battery does not automatically provide backup power; that function requires compatible equipment and a specific design.
For an existing PV system, share the inverter and battery models, a recent electricity bill and the system’s generation data if available. For a new installation, we also assess the roof and grid arrangements before recommending equipment.
How Jelvis scopes the work
We review the information, confirm what can be assessed remotely and arrange a site visit where needed. A written proposal sets out the recommended work and assumptions so you can decide whether to proceed.

Battery upgrades
We check compatibility with the current inverter, system limits, location and intended operating mode before proposing an expansion or replacement.
New solar and storage
We assess roof suitability and household use together, then explain the recommended equipment and estimated generation assumptions.
Electrical and EV work
A local electrician can assess new circuits, EICRs, consumer unit or fuse board replacement, and EV charging alongside storage. Include expected EV use so it can be considered in the system plan.

PROJECT QUESTIONS
Before you book work in Petersfield
How do I know what battery size I need?
Your usage profile, solar generation, tariff and operating goal determine what capacity may be suitable. A bill and existing system details help start the assessment.
Will a battery keep the house running in a power cut?
Not by default. Backup requires compatible equipment, a designed changeover arrangement and suitable circuits.
Can you add a battery to my existing solar panels?
Sometimes. We need the existing inverter and battery model, system layout and electrical details to confirm compatibility and scope.
