MCS-Certified Solar Battery Installation in Leicester, Done Right
Most solar battery installations fail before they begin, not because of the technology, but because the installer isn’t MCS registered. In Leicester’s dense urban grid, that single oversight can block your system from connecting to the distribution network entirely, wiping out your solar export eligibility in the process. At Solsure Electrical, we are MCS certified, and we have more than 25 years of electrical experience across domestic, commercial, and industrial sites. That combination matters here, because Leicester’s grid isn’t forgiving when paperwork and qualifications don’t stack up.

What Leicester’s Housing Stock Actually Demands From a Battery Installer
Leicester’s terraced and semi-detached Victorian housing isn’t a straightforward canvas for solar battery storage. Older properties, particularly across Highfields and Evington, present real retrofitting challenges: limited internal space, aging electrical infrastructure, and position within dense urban grid zones where connection approvals require certified documentation from the outset.
The Highfields and Evington Grid Reality
Leicester’s high concentration of multi-occupancy terraced properties in areas like Highfields requires MCS-certified battery installations to meet shared grid connection approvals unique to solar storage demand. In Leicester’s dense terraced housing areas, only MCS-certified installers like Solsure Electrical ensure battery storage systems integrate safely with the local grid without connection delays. This isn’t a technicality, it’s the difference between a working system and a costly stall at the grid connection stage.
Compatibility With Your Existing Solar PV
With 25+ years in electrical systems across industries, Solsure Electrical tailors solar battery installations to Leicester properties, avoiding common pitfalls in older urban homes. If you already have solar panels, compatibility is the first question we answer, and we answer it honestly, not with a sales pitch.

Why Leicester Homeowners Choose Solsure Electrical for Solar Battery Storage
- MCS certification means your system is grid-compliant and export-eligible: Without MCS registration, Leicester’s distribution network can reject your battery connection outright, and your solar benefits disappear with it. Our certification protects your investment from day one.
- We know Leicester’s urban grid constraints from the inside out: The dense terraced streets of Highfields aren’t an abstract concern for us, they represent exactly the kind of shared grid connection environment where our experience across mining, aerospace, marine, and water industries gives us an edge. Complex electrical environments are where we’re most at home.
- 25+ years of electrical expertise across domestic and commercial sites: Most solar battery companies are solar companies. We are electrical engineers who install solar batteries, that distinction matters when your Victorian terrace or Leicester business site has infrastructure that generic solar outfits simply aren’t equipped for.
- Technical expertise, not a sales visit: Unlike providers who send out a salesperson with a brochure, owner Scott Mather is an engineer. You get straight answers about what your property needs, not a pitch designed to close you on the day.
Clients in Leicester recommend us not because we promised the most, but because we delivered exactly what we said we would.

Frequently Asked Questions, Solar Battery Installation in Leicester
How do I check if a Leicester solar battery installer is MCS certified?

Yes, and this is one of the most common requests we handle. Adding battery storage to an existing solar PV system is straightforward when the system is assessed properly.

Older Leicester properties sometimes need additional electrical work first, we’ll tell you honestly at the survey stage.
