The Essential package is the smartest way onto the solar ladder without compromising on quality. Twelve DMEGC 465W N-Type double-glass panels are custom-arranged for your roof, then paired with the Hanchu HC-5.12 — the UK's first home battery built on Blade LiFePO₄ cell technology.
Blade cells pack more energy into less space and run cooler and safer than conventional packs. Hanchu's heated-cell design means you keep getting strong storage performance through the depths of a North West winter, when other batteries quietly throttle back.
It's a genuine retrofit-friendly system too — AC and DC native — so if you already have panels, the Hanchu battery slots straight in. Everything is MCS-certified, fully signed off, and backed by a free 2-year service visit.
