Solar PV
Generate renewable electricity from your roof and reduce the amount of electricity your home needs to purchase.
Smarter Home Energy by NCS
Could Your Home Become a Zero Bills Home?
Imagine a home designed to generate, store and intelligently manage the energy it needs.
By combining an Air Source Heat Pump, Solar PV, battery storage and an energy-efficient property, NCS can design a complete low-carbon home energy system around you.

A New Approach to Home Energy
What Is a Zero Bills Home?
A Zero Bills Home is designed around a simple principle: reduce the energy the property needs, generate more of that energy at home and use it intelligently.
Rather than treating heating, electricity generation and battery storage as completely separate systems, the whole property is considered together.
Solar PV can generate renewable electricity. A battery can store surplus generation. Meanwhile, an Air Source Heat Pump can use electricity efficiently to provide heating and hot water.
The result is a home designed for lower running costs, greater energy independence and a much more efficient future.
The Technology
Four Elements Working Together
The greatest benefit comes from designing the technologies around the property as one integrated home energy system.
Battery Storage
Store surplus electricity so that energy generated earlier can be used when your property needs it later.
Air Source Heat Pump
Provide efficient low-carbon heating and hot water without relying on a traditional fossil-fuel boiler.
Smart Energy
Coordinate generation, storage and consumption so energy can be used more intelligently throughout the day.
How Energy Moves Around the Home
The aim is to generate clean electricity, store energy when possible and use it efficiently across heating, hot water and everyday household demand.

Your Home
One Home. One System.
It Starts With the Property, Not the Product
A Zero Bills approach is not simply about installing a heat pump, adding some solar panels and putting a battery on the wall.
The building itself matters just as much as the equipment. NCS considers the complete property before recommending the technologies and system sizes.

Why It Matters
More Than Just Lower Energy Bills
A well-designed home energy system can change the way your property uses and manages energy for years to come.
01
Greater Energy Independence
Generate more of the electricity your home consumes and reduce reliance on purchased energy.
02
Reduced Exposure to Rising Costs
A highly efficient home with significant generation and storage can reduce exposure to future energy-price changes.
03
Lower-Carbon Heating
Electrified heating and renewable generation can reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
04
A Future-Ready Home
Heat pumps, solar, batteries and EV charging can all become part of one modern home-energy ecosystem.
New Build Homes
Build Energy Efficiency In From Day One
A new-build property provides the ideal opportunity to design heating, electricity generation, storage and electrical infrastructure together.
NCS can support individual self-build projects as well as larger residential developments.

Existing Properties
Can an Existing Home Be Transformed?
The same principles can potentially be applied to existing properties, but the starting point must always be understanding the building and its current energy requirements.
Assess the building fabric
Complete heat-loss calculations
Review existing radiators or UFH
Assess available roof space
Review electricity consumption
Identify a suitable battery location
Assess heat-pump positioning
Review electrical capacity
The first question isn't which technology to install.
It's how the whole home can work as one energy system.
The NCS Process
From Assessment to Installation
Every property is different. Our process is designed to understand the home first and build the system around it.
1
Assess
We review the property, building fabric, existing heating and current energy usage.
2
Calculate
Heat-loss and energy calculations help establish what the property actually requires.
3
Design
The heat pump, Solar PV, battery and supporting systems are designed around the home.
4
Install
Qualified engineers install the equipment and complete the associated heating and electrical works.
5
Optimise
The technologies are commissioned and configured to work effectively together.
6
Support
NCS remains available for servicing, maintenance and ongoing technical support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Zero Bills Home FAQs
Does installing solar, a battery and heat pump automatically create a Zero Bills Home?
Not necessarily. The suitability and performance of the complete property need to be considered. Building fabric, heat loss, electrical demand, system sizing and available renewable generation all affect the result.
Can an older property use the same principles?
Potentially, yes. Existing properties may require additional work to improve insulation, heating emitters, electrical infrastructure or other parts of the building before the technologies can operate as effectively as possible.
Do I need an Air Source Heat Pump?
Heat pumps are particularly well suited to highly efficient, electrically powered homes. Whether one is suitable for your property should be established through heat-loss calculations and a proper heating-system assessment.
How much Solar PV will I need?
This depends on available roof area, orientation, shading, household demand and the other technologies being installed. NCS can design the Solar PV system around the individual property.
What size battery should I install?
Battery capacity should be selected around expected Solar PV generation and the home's electricity-use profile rather than choosing a battery based on size alone.
Can NCS design the complete system?
NCS can assess and design the principal heating, Solar PV, battery-storage and associated electrical elements required for a modern low-energy home.

Could Your Property Become a Zero Bills Home?
Whether you're planning a new build, upgrading an existing property or developing multiple homes, NCS can help you understand the technologies and design requirements involved.
Every property is different. System suitability, performance, running costs and potential energy savings depend on the building, system design, occupancy, energy usage and installed technologies. Any assessment or initial estimate remains subject to detailed property survey and system design.
