Our Solar Panel and Tesla battery storage experience with Western Counties Roofing… Our house has 18 * 450w solar panel installation along with a Tesla Powerwall 3. That was installed and successfully up and running in May 2025. That system has now run for a whole year, over all four seasons. Our house uses a heat pump for underfloor heating, and hot water. We also have a Tesla EV connector installed by WCRs for our PHEV vehicle. The installation was excellent from WCRs and our solar panels had no issues during the series of winter storms. And the wind baffles on the panels did their job. During that year our electricity usage ran close to Net Zero. To put that into context, 2024/5 electricity cost total was around £1,400. That is probably equivalent to roughly £1,700 -£1,800 at today’s increased tariffs. So we saved a huge amount every month on our electricity bills. On top of that we saved around £800 pa on our petrol bill too. So our total net saving combining these two factors meant we were better than net zero. This is important because as a retired couple, reducing monthly outgoings is so much more important to us than the pay back period. In the summer (and shoulder months either side), we actually made money from exporting our solar power to the grid and the car came free. In fact we had zero bills from our electricity provider during that 6-month period. The money made during those months then contributed significantly to offsetting our winter electricity costs. In winter, with the solar and Tesla Powerwall 3 storage battery of 13.5 KW, we still exported over £150 which was an added surprising bonus. More importantly, we only ever imported electricity during the off peak periods. We never use any electricity during expensive day rate tariffs. This ability to load shift our electricity usage to cheap tariff periods optimised our winter electricity cost savings even further. Glimpsing into the near future for a moment, Tesla Ventures UK will likely become an electricity supplier too providing further competition in the electricity supply market. And with Tesla’s batteries and EV wall connector installation will mean we can hopefully make the switch to Tesla for even cheaper electricity tariffs. Watch this space. In May 2026 we installed a second (extension pack) Powerwall 3. This will hopefully reduce our winter costs by another 30-40%. The thing to remember is that electricity costs will always go up. This year alone saw an 18+% increase! So optimising your yearly electricity bills is more important than ever. I can highly recommend WCRs as your solar panel and storage battery provider. These installations are a big investment for anyone, with huge upside energy cost savings to you. So it’s important that the service is top notch. WCRs have excellent professional expertise to help guide you through your decision making. The installation and project management and customer service teams are also all highly experienced, and together they make the whole process from decision, design, and installation at your property very easy with no worries to you. On our estate alone WCRs have installed the same system at 9 properties. So that speaks volumes in itself.

Installed solar system with battery and car charger - everything was delivered on time with no complications - Callum managed the job well and kept me informed as the stages progressed - I would 100% recommend the company for solar installation.

Excellent company who undertook slate roof, hung slate, standing seam roof and full solar package. Attention to detail and customer care was outstanding. Highly recommended
