Onix Industries

Calm, clear guidance on solar, storage and EV charging for homes and small businesses.

Interactive light study

A quiet study of light and shadow.

Plain solids on a flat floor, lit by a sun you can move. Watch shadows lengthen, shorten and swing across the day. It is a drawing about light and nothing more: it does not estimate energy output or savings.

09:00About

Good energy decisions begin with a clear view of the building, the roof and the way you really live.

Onix Industries is the website name of ZMERO TRADING MARKETING AND ENERGY LTD. We are not an installer. We help homeowners and small businesses across the UK talk through what they have in mind, whether that is solar PV, battery storage, an EV charging point or simply a calmer home, and turn it into a clear brief.

From there, installation work is coordinated with qualified independent partners. They carry out the work and any agreement is between you and them. We stay on hand to help you ask better questions and understand what you are told.

We work remotely, mostly by email, and our company details are shown on this page and in the footer.

— a

Independent advice

We explain options in general terms and help you weigh them up, without pushing a particular route.

— b

Plain-language planning

Terraced, semi-detached, flat roof or pitched: we use everyday words, not jargon.

— c

Partner-led installation

Work is carried out by qualified independent partners, who contract directly with you.

From the first question to life afterwards.

Five areas where we can help you think clearly. Select a row to read more.

  • A conversation about your property, the shape and direction of your roof, any shade, and how your household or business uses energy through the day. We help you turn that into a clear brief and a sensible list of questions, so proposals from installers are easier to compare. Pitched roof, flat roof, terrace or semi: the starting point is always your building.

  • Interest in storage is growing, particularly where long summer evenings and changeable weather make people think about when they use energy. We explain in plain terms what a battery is for, what to ask about size and placement, and how it might sit alongside other equipment, without promising any particular outcome.

  • Thinking about charging at home or at your business premises? We outline what usually shapes the decision: where you park, how a cable might be routed, the condition of your existing electrics, and permissions if you rent or share a building. Any assessment of your electrics is a job for a qualified electrician.

  • Before adding equipment, it often helps to look at the building itself: draughts, insulation, glazing, heating controls and how each room is used. We offer a general review of the areas worth discussing with a qualified professional, from older terraced houses to modern semi-detached homes and small commercial units.

  • Once equipment is in place, we help you understand what the readings and apps are telling you, what is worth keeping an eye on, and who to contact if something seems wrong. Warranties and servicing are matters between you and the partner who carried out the work.

To be clear: we do not carry out installations ourselves. Installation work is coordinated with qualified independent partners, and any agreement for that work is between you and the partner.

18:00Approach

Four steps, taken at your pace.

  1. 07:00

    Listen

    We start with your building, your routines and your questions, whether you live in a terrace, a semi or a small unit with a flat roof.

  2. 11:00

    Plan

    Together we shape a clear brief: what you want to explore, what to ask, and what to keep an open mind about.

  3. 15:00

    Coordinate with qualified partners

    Where you want to go ahead, we introduce independent qualified partners who assess your property and carry out the work.

  4. 19:00

    Support afterwards

    We remain available to help you understand how things are working and to point you to the right partner if something needs attention.

Who does what: installation is carried out by independent qualified partners, not by ZMERO TRADING MARKETING AND ENERGY LTD. Any agreement for installation, including its price, timing, warranties and aftercare, is made between you and that partner.

19:00Good to know

Notes for unhurried decisions.

Note · Choosing

Questions to ask before choosing a solar and battery installer

A short list to keep beside you when you speak to anyone who offers to do the work.

  • Who will actually carry out the work: their own employees, or subcontractors?
  • What qualifications and registrations do they hold, and can you see evidence of them yourself?
  • What does the proposal include, and what is left out, such as access equipment, roof repairs or electrical upgrades?
  • What assumptions sit behind any performance figure, and are they written down?
  • Who do you call after the work is finished, and what happens if something goes wrong?

A good installer is usually comfortable with questions. If answers are vague, that is worth noting.

Note · Charging

What to think about before adding an EV charger

The charger itself is only part of the picture. The setting matters just as much.

  • Where will the vehicle be parked, and could a cable run there neatly and safely?
  • How far is that spot from your fuse board, and is your existing electrical set-up suitable? A qualified electrician should assess this.
  • Will the unit be exposed to weather, and is the location easy to reach?
  • If you rent, lease or share a building, do you need permission first?
  • Might you add other home energy equipment later? It helps to ask whether the charger can work with it.

Think about how you really use the car day to day before you decide what you need.

Note · Reading

How to read a quote

Quotes can look similar and still cover very different things. Slow reading pays off.

  • Check the scope first: what is listed, and what is not mentioned at all.
  • Look for named equipment and who stands behind its warranty, separately from the workmanship.
  • Ask for the assumptions behind any performance claim to be set out in writing.
  • Read the payment stages and what happens if site conditions turn out differently.
  • Find the cancellation terms and who handles any notifications or permissions.

Compare like with like. A lower figure may simply include less.
