Choosing which home upgrades to combine
A new consumer unit, PV system, battery and charger interact through the property’s electrical supply and how you use energy. Doing a short assessment first can reveal whether the work should be combined, sequenced or priced separately. It also prevents designing around a future load that was not mentioned.
Start with the changes you expect over the next few years: an EV, extension, heat pump, workshop or increased electricity use. We can then discuss the current installation, proposed equipment and any grid-connection steps that apply.
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.

Solar panel installation in Waterlooville
We assess the roof and expected electricity use. The proposal should reflect your planned loads and explain assumptions about generation and export.
Battery storage
Battery capacity and operating settings should match your usage and tariff. We consider whether the battery is part of a new solar installation or an upgrade.
Electrical upgrades and EV charging
We check the supply, consumer unit and charger position, and can scope an EICR, fuse-board replacement or new circuits alongside solar and EV work. If several upgrades are planned, we can discuss their sequence.

PROJECT QUESTIONS
Before you book work in Waterlooville
Should I install an EV charger before or after solar?
It depends on the property and project schedule. If both are planned, tell us early so the supply, equipment and controls can be assessed together.
Can you quote for several upgrades at once?
Yes. List each item and note which are definite and which are future plans. We can separate the scope and explain what depends on a site survey.
Will solar cover all my electricity use?
Not necessarily. Generation varies with season and conditions, while your use may occur at different times. A proposal should show its assumptions rather than promise full coverage.
