Answers To Your Electrical And Renewable Energy Questions

Yes. Before recommending any electrical upgrade or renewable installation, our engineers carry out a no-obligation site survey at your home or premises. The visit lets us assess existing infrastructure, measure roof orientation, inspect consumer units and discuss your goals. With precise data, we can design a safe, compliant system, provide an itemised quotation, and highlight potential energy-saving opportunities. Surveys are arranged at a convenient time and normally take less than an hour.

Most domestic solar PV projects are completed within two to three days. Day one is allocated to roof mounting and panel placement, while day two covers inverter wiring, battery connection, testing and commissioning. Larger commercial arrays may extend to a week, depending on access and roof complexity. We create a clear schedule beforehand so you know exactly when scaffolding will arrive, how we manage disruption, and when you will begin generating clean power.

Yes, we design and install single and three-phase electric vehicle charge points for homes, workplaces and commercial fleets. Our consultants will review your electrical capacity, recommend the most suitable smart charger, and handle OZEV grant paperwork where available. Importantly, we calculate load management to protect the supply and integrate the unit with solar PV or battery storage if required. All installations are certified, app-configured, and demonstrated so you can charge safely from day one.

Several incentives can reduce the upfront cost of renewable technology. Domestic customers may qualify for 0% VAT on solar PV and battery systems until 2027, while businesses can claim capital allowances. The Smart Export Guarantee also pays you for surplus electricity exported to the grid. Our team keeps track of regional grants across the Midlands and will outline every funding route during your quotation, ensuring your investment delivers the quickest possible payback.

All of our solar, storage and EV solutions come with smart monitoring software accessible via phone or desktop. The portal shows real-time generation, consumption, battery state of charge and savings. We explain key indicators during handover and set alert thresholds for under-performance. Additionally, our maintenance packages include annual inspections, thermographic checks and report analysis to verify outputs against design figures, ensuring you continue to achieve the promised efficiency year after year.

Yes. Electrical faults rarely occur at a convenient time, so our qualified engineers provide a 24/7 emergency response across Tamworth and the wider Midlands. Whether you have a tripped RCD, loss of power, or suspected cable damage, we aim to attend within two hours. We carry common replacement parts to restore the supply quickly and complete a full safety test before leaving. Follow-up repair quotations are supplied transparently if further work is needed.

Solar PV still generates electricity when it’s overcast, just at a reduced output. Modern monocrystalline panels used by Nexus Electrical Consultancy capture diffuse light efficiently, typically producing 10–30 % of their rated capacity during dull weather. As part of our proposal, we model expected yields using historical irradiance data for your postcode, including seasonal cloud coverage. This realistic forecast helps you understand year-round generation and size battery storage appropriately to balance daytime dips.

Absolutely. From DNO applications and MCS registration to structural calculations and planning permission, our consultancy manages every document needed for a compliant installation. We submit G98 or G99 notices to the grid operator, prepare risk assessments, and supply handover manuals with datasheets and certificates. By centralising the paperwork, we remove administrative stress, keep projects on schedule, and ensure you receive all evidence required for warranties, insurance claims and future property sales.

Nexus Electrical Consultancy is based in Tamworth and routinely serves households and businesses across Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. For larger commercial or consultancy-only projects, we travel nationwide. If you are unsure whether we can reach you, simply call our team with your postcode; we will confirm availability and, where possible, recommend a trusted partner if your location falls outside our immediate service radius.
