Solar batteries and batteries for solar look simple until the site details are vague. Battery location, ventilation, inverter context, consumer unit evidence, and route notes all decide whether the job stays clean or turns into callbacks.

A roof-first solar survey is not always enough. Once batteries for solar are part of the job, the capture standard needs to expand beyond roof layout and panel design context.
Solar batteries store surplus generation for later use. For the installer, that means the survey has to show where the battery can go, what the electrical picture looks like, and how the existing solar PV or inverter setup changes the design route.
Battery jobs introduce battery location, ventilation, working clearances, backup expectations, cable routes, and isolation decisions. Those are easy to under-capture if the team only thinks in terms of panel layout.
The office, design team, and installer should all be able to review one pack that shows the battery position options, the inverter context, and the electrical constraints without a second chase for site photos.
Use the main service page when the team needs the actual survey deliverables, scope, and booking route for solar battery jobs.
Use the solar PV page when the roof and generation design are still the main question, but battery-readiness needs to be noted clearly.
Use the MCS page when the team is thinking about sign-off, documentation trail, and what needs to exist before the certificate stage is straightforward.
