Equipment we install & stand behind

The Brands AFTA Electrical Trusts

We don't fit whatever a supplier pushes this month. Every brand on this page was selected because we've tested it, know it performs, and can support it long after the installation is done. If we wouldn't put it in our own home, we won't put it in yours.

Proven in the field

Every brand here has been tested across hundreds of real installations — not just reviewed on paper.

Manufacturer warranty support

We work directly with manufacturers to register warranties and resolve issues quickly if they arise.

Parts availability

We only specify brands where UK parts and technical support are readily available — not brands that disappear.

No rebate-driven choices

We're not pushed toward any brand by supplier incentives. We recommend what's right for each job.

Solar PV & Battery Storage

Inverters, Panels & Battery Systems

Four manufacturers that consistently deliver on performance, warranty, and long-term reliability. We specify these brands across domestic and commercial solar and battery installations.

SolaX Power
Reliable hybrid systems at competitive cost

SolaX hybrid inverters offer excellent value without compromising on core performance. The X3 hybrid range covers 5–15kW output, making it suitable for larger homes and small commercial installations. SolaX's monitoring platform and app are well-regarded, and UK support has strengthened considerably in recent years.

  • X1 and X3 hybrid inverter ranges — single and three-phase options
  • Triple Power battery: 5.8kWh per module, stackable
  • SolaX Cloud monitoring — generation, consumption, battery
  • EPS (Emergency Power Supply) function — circuit backup capability
  • Strong price-to-performance ratio for budget-conscious installs
  • 10-year inverter warranty available
SolarEdge
Optimiser-based systems for complex roofs

SolarEdge is our preferred choice when roof shading, multiple orientations, or complex layouts would reduce the performance of a standard string system. Individual DC optimisers on each panel mean one shaded panel doesn't drag down the whole array. The SolarEdge Home Battery integrates directly with the inverter for a clean, monitored system.

  • Panel-level DC optimisers — eliminates shading and mismatch losses
  • HD-Wave inverter range — 3–10kW for domestic
  • SolarEdge Home Battery — 9.7kWh usable, DC-coupled
  • mySolarEdge monitoring — panel-level visibility of performance
  • Ideal for L-shaped roofs, obstructions, or mixed orientations
  • 12-year inverter warranty
  • SafeDC shutdown — panels de-energise automatically in emergencies

Electrical

Consumer Units & Electrical Equipment

We install RCBO consumer units from three manufacturers that have proven themselves on quality, availability of parts, and technical documentation. The choice between them depends on the specific requirements of each installation.

FuseBox
Our standard specification consumer unit

FuseBox RCBO consumer units are our most commonly specified board for domestic replacements. The F100 range is clean, well-built, and available in configurations from 6-way to 20-way. Individual RCBOs on every circuit mean a fault on one circuit trips only that circuit — not half the house. The metal-clad enclosure meets current fire safety regulations.

  • Full RCBO protection on every circuit — no shared RCDs
  • Metal-clad enclosure — meets BS EN 61439 fire safety requirements
  • F100 range: 6, 10, 12, 16 and 20-way configurations
  • Type A and Type AC RCBO options available
  • Clear labelling and accessible design — easy for future maintenance
  • Consistently available through UK electrical wholesalers
Hager
Premium specification for demanding installations

Hager consumer units are specified where a premium installation is required — larger homes, properties with higher circuit counts, or where the customer wants the best. The VML range has an excellent reputation for build quality and longevity. Hager's technical documentation is among the most thorough in the industry, which matters when servicing the board in 10 years' time.

  • VML range — double-pole isolator, full RCBO protection
  • Available up to 24-way for larger properties
  • Surge protection device integration as standard option
  • Excellent busbars and internal wiring space — easier commissioning
  • Widely used in premium new builds and high-spec refurbishments
  • Comprehensive technical support and documentation
British General (BG)
Dependable entry-level specification

British General Fortress consumer units offer solid performance at an accessible price point. For straightforward domestic replacements where the existing installation is in good condition and the circuit count is standard, a BG RCBO board delivers everything required at a cost that keeps the overall project budget reasonable. Not every installation needs a premium board — the BG delivers where it counts.

  • Fortress range — full RCBO individual circuit protection
  • Metal-clad enclosure — compliant with current fire safety requirements
  • 10-way and 12-way configurations for standard domestic installs
  • Type A RCBOs — suitable for the vast majority of domestic circuits
  • Good availability — no waiting on parts for straightforward replacements
  • Competitively priced without compromising on compliance

EV Charging

Home & Workplace EV Chargers

Three chargers covering every use case — from budget-smart to premium design to solar-first. All 7.4kW, all smart, all fully Part P certified.

Fox ESS EV Charger
Smart charging with Fox ecosystem integration

The Fox ESS EV charger is the natural choice if you're installing (or already have) a Fox ESS solar or battery system. It integrates directly within the Fox app ecosystem, allowing solar generation, battery state, and EV charging to be managed from a single interface. Clean installation, solid build, and fully Part P compliant.

  • 7.4kW output — charges at 25–30 miles of range per hour
  • Integrated with FoxCloud app — manage solar, battery and EV together
  • Scheduled charging — overnight tariff hours set automatically
  • Universal Type 2 connector — compatible with all UK EVs
  • Smart load management — reduces output if home supply is under load
  • OCPP compatible for commercial use cases
  • IP55 rated — suitable for outdoor and garage installation
🔗 Full myenergi ecosystem
myenergi Zappi
Whole-home energy integration — charger, hot water & solar

Zappi is a solid charger and we install it, but it's no longer our default recommendation. Where it comes into its own is on retrofit installs where a customer wants to integrate EV charging, solar divert, and hot water diversion into one joined-up system. Paired with the myenergi Eddi (hot water) and Libbi (battery), it creates a complete energy management ecosystem that works independently of any solar brand.

For new Fox ESS solar installs, the Fox ESS charger integrates more cleanly. For Tesla owners, the Wall Connector is the obvious choice. But if you already have an existing solar system and want to tie in EV charging and hot water divert without changing your inverter, Zappi and the myenergi hub is a strong solution.

  • 7.4kW output — Type 2, compatible with all UK EVs
  • Solar divert mode — charges from surplus generation before exporting
  • Works with any inverter brand — no lock-in
  • myenergi hub — integrates Zappi, Eddi (hot water) and Libbi (battery) together
  • Best suited to retrofit installs where whole-home energy integration is the goal
  • IP65 rated — suitable for all outdoor environments
  • UK-designed and UK-assembled
All installations include proper surge protection. Every AFTA Electrical installation — regardless of brand — includes a dedicated IP65-rated surge protection consumer unit, correctly rated RCBO, and full certification. The equipment brand is only part of a safe installation. The wiring, protection devices, and commissioning matter just as much.
