How can Solar Performance UK help?
A Solar Performance Assessment looks at how your system is actually working in your home. We examine your energy use, solar generation, battery behaviour, system settings and electricity tariff to identify where improvements could be made.

Why are my electricity bills still high with solar panels?
High electricity bills don’t necessarily mean your solar system isn’t working properly. The cause can be a combination of when and how you use electricity, how your battery is operating, your system settings and your electricity tariff. Looking at the system as a whole can help identify where improvements may be possible.
A Solar Performance Assessment can identify which of these factors may be affecting your particular system.
Why does my solar battery run down so quickly?
A solar battery running down quickly doesn’t necessarily mean there is a problem with the battery itself. How long it lasts can be affected by household electricity use, battery settings, when energy is being used and how much solar energy is available to recharge it.
A Solar Performance Assessment looks at these factors together to help identify why your battery may not be performing as you expected.
Why am I importing so much electricity from the grid?
Having solar panels and a battery doesn’t necessarily mean you will stop importing electricity from the grid. The amount you import can be influenced by when you use electricity, how your battery is operating, your system settings and how well your solar generation matches your household demand.
A Solar Performance Assessment can help identify why your home is relying on the grid and where improvements may be possible.
Why does my solar generation seem lower than expected?
Solar generation can vary considerably throughout the year and may not always match what a homeowner expects. Weather, the time of year, panel orientation, shading and how the system is performing can all influence the amount of electricity being generated.
A Solar Performance Assessment can look at your system’s actual generation and help establish whether its performance appears reasonable or whether something may need further investigation.
Why is my battery charging or discharging at the wrong times?
A solar battery may sometimes appear to charge or discharge at unexpected times. This can be influenced by the way the system is configured, battery operating modes, charging schedules, household electricity demand and how the system interacts with your electricity tariff.
A Solar Performance Assessment can examine how your battery is operating throughout the day and help identify whether its behaviour is appropriate for your home and electricity tariff.
Why doesn’t my solar system seem to be saving me what I expected?
Having solar panels and a battery doesn’t automatically mean your electricity costs will fall as much as expected. The savings you achieve can depend on how and when you use electricity, how your battery is operating, your system settings, your electricity tariff and how much of your solar generation you are able to use in your home.
A Solar Performance Assessment looks at these factors together to help identify why your savings may be lower than expected and where improvements may be possible.
