Powering progress with smart, sustainable energy
Why go solar?
Lower energy bills: Save money by generating your own electricity, and storing excess energy for later use, reducing reliance on the grid
Energy independance: Protect your home or business from rising energy costs and power outages with reliable, renewable energy
Sustainability: Contribute to a cleaner environment by reducing your carbon footprint with renewable solar energy and minimizing waste through efficient battery storage
Our Services
Solar Panel installations
From domestic slated roofs to commercial flat roofs - solar panel installations fit for your specific needs! We can install standalone solar PV systems, hybrid systems including storage or pure DC tied solar.
We install a variety of well known inverter brands including SolarEdge, Solis, Anker, Sigenergy and Victron.
battery storage solutions
Ranging from low power output, low capacity up to high output and capacity, we can install batteries either linked to solar (DC coupled) or linked directly to your grid connection (AC coupled) - including backup / UPS protection.
We also specialize in making custom size battery banks for certain use cases.
Off-grid systems
Our speciality and passion is off-grid energy systems - starting from caravan power, up to large off-grid properties or businesses that require bespoke power solutions, we can incorporate solar, generator, shore power supplies and battery storage to create a redundant, reliable energy network for your use. We also love to integrate our power with your other home systems, through means such as Home Assistant.
Existing system maintanance
Coming to a point in time where a lot of the first wave solar and battery installs are starting to fail, we can fault find, or simply maintain, existing installations, ensuring continuous usage.
System upgrades
With solar panels now producing twice what they used to produce only 5 or so years ago, we offer upgrades replacing panels, adding additional battery storage, or adding additional stand alone systems.
General electrical works
Of course the solar and battery works require mains electrical work, and as a NICEIC approved business we can do all general electrical works relating to this, but also any other works that may be wanted, including bespoke lighting, smart home systems, AV and data installs, or EV chargers.
our story
From tinkering around with self-built drones from the age of 13 up to working in the electrical industry now, I’ve always had a passion for electronics and the huge range of uses it has!
When I was exposed to the power of solar and battery systems for self-sufficient living, I was instantly attracted and couldn’t help but spent days at first researching different solutions, brands and installation techniques. We’ve whittled down to the best of the best energy systems, but also keep up with cutting edge innovations that are rapidly being produced in this fast moving industry.
Now, having experience installing several different systems, we’ve created Blue Rock as a hub for smart energy solutions, incorporating all those things I love, with package solution installations starting from exploring your bespoke needs, covering all aspects of installation, up to commissioning, handover and excellent after service care.
FAQs
How much can I save with solar panels and battery storage?
Savings vary depending on your energy usage, system size, and your electricity tariff. On average, most homeowners can cut their electricity bills by 50–80%. With battery storage, you can maximise savings by using stored energy when grid rates are highest or during power outages.
Can I use solar panels during a power cut?
Yes — but only if you have battery storage. Standard solar panel systems shut down during grid outages for safety reasons, however with battery storage and a compatible inverter, your system can continue powering essential appliances, or even the whole home, during blackouts.
How long does installation take?
Most residential solar panel installations take 1–2 days, while adding battery storage may add another day. Commercial systems can take longer depending on size and complexity. We handle all grid notifications and communication to get your installation underway as soon as possible.
How long do solar panels and batteries last?
Solar panels typically last 25–30 years and require minimal maintenance. Most battery systems have a lifespan of 10–15 years, depending on usage and technology. Warranties usually cover performance for much of this time, giving you peace of mind.
Is my property suitable for solar panels?
Most properties with a roof that gets good sunlight exposure (especially south-facing in the UK) are suitable. We offer free assessments to check roof condition, orientation, and shading to ensure you get the most efficient setup possible.
Can I add more panels or batteries later on?
Yes! One of the great benefits of solar and battery systems is that they can be easily expanded. Whether you want to add extra panels to meet growing energy needs or increase your storage capacity, we can design a system that’s scalable for the future.
