Domestic solar PV and battery storage
Roof-mounted arrays paired with battery storage so daytime generation covers evening use, installed by our own MCS-certified teams.
Residential Solar & Battery →About Smart Group
Fox Contractors LTD trading as Smart Group, based at 222 West Strand, Preston. We design, install and maintain renewable energy and electrical systems for homes and businesses across the North West.
One team, four disciplines
Solar PV, battery storage, EV charging and electrical contracting sit naturally together — most renewable installations are, at heart, electrical projects. Keeping all four in-house means the same team that surveys your property designs the system, wires it and commissions it, rather than passing responsibility between subcontractors.
