Is your energy system working as well as it should?

Installing solar panels or battery storage is only the beginning. Over time, performance can drop, faults can develop and energy usage can change - meaning your system may not be delivering the savings it should.

Warm Homes Group’s Energy MOT looks at your existing system, performance and energy usage to identify opportunities for optimisation. Sometimes the answer isn’t more equipment - it’s getting more from what you already have.

Why an Energy MOT Matters

Solar PV, battery storage, inverters, EV charging and your property’s electrical infrastructure all influence how effectively energy is generated, stored and used. Over time, performance can drift, settings can change and usage patterns can shift - meaning your system may not be working as efficiently as it could.

An Energy MOT helps you understand:

  • Whether your solar PV is performing as expected

  • How your battery is charging and discharging

  • How your inverter and system are configured

  • How much solar electricity you use within the property

  • When your property uses the most energy

  • Whether there are opportunities to improve self‑consumption

  • Whether future technologies could affect electrical demand

  • Whether your current energy tariff suits the way you use and store electricity

Performance. Understanding. Optimisation.

What We Look At

Our Energy MOT reviews the key areas that affect how your system performs today - and what it could be doing better tomorrow.

Battery Performance

Storage capacity, efficiency and
charging behaviour.

Self-Consumption

How much of your solar energy you use yourself.

Optimisation Potential

Small configuration or behavioural changes that can significantly improve performance and savings.

Solar Generation

How much you’re generating and when.

Energy Tariffs

Whether your current tariff matches your usage and storage behaviour - and where savings could be made.

Is an Energy MOT Right for You?

You don’t need to be an energy expert to know when something doesn’t quite add up.

An Energy MOT could be useful if:

  • You have solar PV but aren’t sure how well it’s performing

  • You have a battery but don’t really know when or why it’s charging and discharging

  • Your energy bills aren’t what you expected after installing renewables

  • You inherited solar or battery storage with a property and don’t really know what you have

  • Your energy use or electricity tariff has changed since your system was installed

  • You’re considering an EV charger, battery expansion or another energy technology

  • You want to know whether you could be using more of the electricity you generate

  • You simply want someone to look at the whole setup without trying to sell you another product

Ever looked at your energy app, electricity bill or solar system and thought, “Is this actually working as well as it should?”

That’s exactly what the Energy MOT is designed to help you understand.
