Solar Battery Leads Start with Knowing Where the Panels Are

For Solar Installers & O&M Teams
Every system you did not install is still a customer opportunity. Health checks, inverter replacements, and battery retrofits all start with knowing where the panels are.

For Growing Renewables Businesses
Install pipelines rise and fall with grants and seasons. Retrofit and optimisation work smooths revenue between installs — and puts you first in line for the next upgrade.
Well over a million UK homes went solar under the feed-in tariff and the schemes that followed. Those households already believe in the technology — and most are exporting cheap and buying back dear every single day because nobody has offered them a battery or a proper system check.
“Every solar roof without a battery exports for pennies and buys back at peak rates. Most owners have never been shown the numbers.”
A solar home is the warmest possible prospect for storage: the generation is already on the roof, the payback maths is simple, and the owner has already said yes to renewables once.
But many original installers were national scheme contractors who have moved on, do not cover the area, or no longer trade. The systems are ageing, export tariffs have changed completely, and the local relationship is unclaimed.
xenscope finds those households for you — property by property, area by area — and can put your name through their letterbox as the local battery and optimisation specialist.
How it works
How Retrofit Teams Use xenscope: Search. Send. Track.
Search
Filter for homes with solar panels recorded on the roof, then narrow by area, property profile, and age to match your coverage and the systems you service.
Send
Have us post direct mail with your branding to the properties you select — or export clean CSV lists for your own CRM, calling, and mail campaigns.
Track
Track response and won installs by area, then refine targeting for the next round. Retrofit books grow campaign by campaign.
Example battery-retrofit searches
- • All properties in your council area with solar panels recorded on the roof
- • Solar homes by postcode district, narrowed to the property types and ages your engineers know best
- • Systems with older EPC inspection dates — a practical proxy for FiT-era installs most overdue a health check
Use Cases
Turning Installed Panels into Batteries and Upgrades
Find Every Solar Home in Your Area
Search by what is actually on the roof, not guesswork.
- • Identify properties whose EPC records photovoltaic panels installed.
- • Filter by council area, town, or postcode district to match your coverage.
- • Segment by property type and age to suit the systems your engineers know.
- • Numbers first: see exactly how many solar homes your patch holds before spending a penny.
Reach Them with Your Branding
End to end: we find the properties, we get your name through the letterbox.
- • Direct mail sent to the solar households you select, carrying your company's branding.
- • Position yourself as the local, trusted battery and optimisation specialist.
- • No list wrangling, no mail-house management — you do nothing until the phone rings.
- • Export CSV for your own CRM and outbound follow-up whenever you prefer.
Turn One Visit into a Customer for Life
A battery quote or system health check opens a long relationship.
- • Batteries, inverter replacements, smart export tariff advice, panel health checks.
- • Older systems from the FiT era are overdue attention — and their inverters are ageing.
- • The engineer who optimises a system is first call when it needs extending or replacing.
- • Track response by area and refine the next campaign with real numbers.
Why Roof Data Beats Recommendation Data
Most “solar” property lists are homes recommended to get panels — people who have not bought anything yet. xenscope identifies homes where photovoltaics are actually recorded on the roof, so your list contains proven renewables buyers and nothing else.
- • Which homes have solar panels installed today
- • Which areas hold enough of them to justify a campaign
- • Which segments best match the systems you install and service
Know Your Numbers Before You Spend
Council-area counts differ enormously — Birmingham holds around 2,878 recorded solar properties, Cornwall around 2,713. We will run your area's numbers first, so you know the size of the prize before committing to a campaign.
Composite Signals for Retrofit Prospecting
- • Solar PV identification — photovoltaic panels recorded on the roof, with coverage extent
- • Local-area breakdowns by council area, town, and postcode district
- • Property attributes such as type, size, and age band
- • EPC context including inspection date — a proxy for system age and FiT-era installs
- • Export-ready campaign lists for direct mail, CRM, and outbound workflows
FAQs
Solar Battery Retrofit FAQs
How do I find homes that already have solar panels?
xenscope identifies properties whose EPC records photovoltaic panels installed on the roof — a direct record of the panels being there, not a prediction. You can then filter by council area, town, postcode district, property type, and age band.
Why do solar owners want a battery or an optimisation visit?
Most UK solar homes have no battery, so daytime generation is exported for pennies while evening electricity is bought back at many times the price — a battery closes that gap. And hundreds of thousands of systems installed in the FiT era have never had a health check since: inverters age, panels underperform, and export tariffs have changed completely.
Can xenscope send the mailshot for us?
Yes. We can handle the direct mail end to end, carrying your company's branding, to the solar properties you select — so the first these households hear of it is a letter from a local company that can add a battery or get more out of the panels they already own.
How many solar properties are in my area?
It varies by council area — Birmingham has around 2,878 recorded solar properties, Cornwall around 2,713. Contact us and we will run your area's numbers before you commit to anything.
