Panels, batteries and chargers. Put generation on the roof and a charger on the wall.

Solar is a hardware business with an electrician attached: panels, inverters and batteries are well over half of what the customer pays, so margin comes from buying well and installing in a day. Certification under the microgeneration scheme is what lets a customer claim export payments, and without it the enquiries dry up. Demand follows policy and energy prices rather than the weather, and a subsidy change can empty the diary in a quarter.
