Robinson Electrical

Well, after years of trading, I’ve finally received my first 1-star review 😅

Anyone who knows me or has used Robinson Electrical will know I genuinely try to keep every customer happy and do the best job possible on every job I take on.

At the moment I’m extremely busy and regularly working 12-hour days on site, then coming home to quotes, invoices, certificates, messages and enquiries. Unfortunately, on this occasion, I replied to the initial enquiry but then missed the follow-up message.

I completely accept that I should have replied, and I’ve apologised for that. But I’m only human and occasionally something does get missed.

It’s just disappointing to receive a 1-star review and be told people should “AVOID!!” when I never actually carried out any work at the property.

Thankfully, the hundreds of customers I’ve worked for over the years know the standard of my work and the effort I put into looking after people.

Can’t please everyone, I suppose!

🔋 Already got an EV tariff? Make the most of it.

A battery-only ESS system lets you charge your home battery overnight when electricity is cheap, then use that stored energy through the day instead of paying peak rates.

With the right tariff and usage, you could save around 70% on the electricity you shift into the cheap-rate window.

Already charging your car cheaply overnight? Why not do the same with your house?

No solar required.
Just charge cheap → store it → use it when prices are high.

For many EV owners, a battery system is a no-brainer.

With energy prices going up again, is anyone thinking about solar, battery storage or just becoming a bit more self sufficient?

I’ve been in the electrical industry for over 20 years now and I’ve put a lot of time into getting properly qualified and learning renewable systems. Robinson Electrical is only a small company, but personally I think that’s one of our strengths.

I’m involved from the initial quote and design right through to the installation, testing and commissioning. You’re not buying a system from a salesman and then having a random subcontractor turn up to fit it.

I’ve seen plenty of solar installs that I genuinely wouldn’t be happy having on my own property. It’s a big investment, so make sure whoever you use actually knows what they’re doing and isn’t just interested in getting as many panels on the roof as possible.

We specialise mainly in Victron and Sigenergy and can build systems around what the customer actually wants — solar, battery storage, EV charging, backup power and making the most of cheap overnight electricity and export tariffs.

Personally, if you’re out at work most of the day, I wouldn’t just stick solar panels on the roof and leave it at that. You’re producing most of your power while you’re not there to use it.

That’s why I’m a big believer in battery storage. Store what you generate through the day and use it when you’re actually home in the evening. You can also charge the batteries on cheap overnight tariffs when solar production is low.

Every system is different and I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all package.

We’ve had some brilliant results from the systems we’ve installed and, most importantly, happy customers who are actually seeing the savings.

If you’ve been thinking about solar, batteries, EV charging or you just want to know what would work for your property, feel free to drop Robinson Electrical a message. I’m always happy to have a chat and go through the options without the hard sell.

☀️ OVER 1 MEGAWATT OF SOLAR IN JUST 10 DAYS! ⚡

This system has already generated 1.08 MWh (1,080 kWh) in the first 10 days of August — averaging around 108 kWh every day. 🔥

That energy is powering the property, charging the battery and sending the excess back to the grid.

A great example of what a properly designed solar & battery system can produce through the summer. ☀️🔋

112kWh from the sun in ONE day!

This is from one of our recent solar installs.

☀️ 60 solar panels
🔋 40kWh battery storage
⚡ 3-phase system

Yesterday it produced 112kWh of solar, enough to run the property, charge the batteries and still send nearly 80kWh back to the grid.

They only used 0.06kWh from the grid all day! 👌

And that’s with the system currently limited to 11kW export.

If you’ve got a big roof and you’re paying a hefty electric bill, solar & battery storage could make a massive difference.

☀️ 10 SOLAR PANELS — 721 kWh GENERATED IN JUST 30 DAYS! 🔋

A great example of what even a relatively small solar installation can achieve through the summer.

Over the last 30 days this 10-panel system has delivered:

☀️ 721 kWh solar generated
🏠 261 kWh household consumption
📤 403 kWh exported back to the grid
⚡ Just 0.4 kWh imported from the grid

That means the property has been virtually self-sufficient from the grid for an entire month, while still producing a substantial amount of surplus energy to export.

And this is from just 10 panels.

Solar isn’t only about covering what you use during the day. When combined with battery storage and a good export tariff, excess generation can be stored for later or sold back to the grid — helping maximise the value of every kWh produced.

Thinking about solar but don’t have a huge roof? You might be surprised what a smaller, well-designed system can achieve.
