Never Waste a Ray of Sun.
A home battery puts you in complete control. Store your free solar energy to use at night, keep the lights on during a power cut, and unlock even deeper savings.

Battery Storage
Your personal energy reserve
The Problem of Wasted Energy
Without storage, you give away your cheap daytime power only to buy expensive power back at night.
Even with solar panels, your home is still vulnerable to power cuts, and you're exposed to peak-rate electricity prices in the evenings when your panels aren't generating.
Store Your Power,
Own Your Energy
A home battery solves this by capturing all that valuable energy, giving you control, security, and the ability to drastically cut your reliance on the grid.
Use 100% of Your Solar
Capture all the free energy you generate during the day and use it to power your home through the evening and night, instead of exporting it for pennies.
Gain Total Energy Security
A home battery provides seamless, automatic backup power, keeping your lights, Wi-Fi, and essential appliances running during any grid outage.
Beat Peak-Rate Prices
Take advantage of smart tariffs by charging your battery with cheap, off-peak electricity overnight, then using it during expensive peak hours to maximise your savings.

Retrofit Solar Battery: Upgrade Your Existing System
Already have solar panels? You are likely exporting up to 50% of your free energy back to the grid. We specialise in retrofit solar battery installations for existing PV systems.
Whether you have an older system on a Feed-in Tariff or a modern array, we can install an AC-coupled battery (like the GivEnergy or Tesla Powerwall) that sits alongside your existing inverter. This allows you to store your surplus solar energy without needing to replace your current solar panels.
Which Battery System Do You Need?
Understanding the difference between "Retrofit" and "Hybrid" is key to getting the best performance.
Retrofit AC-Coupled
Perfect if you already have solar panels. We install a standalone battery (like a GivEnergy or Tesla) that connects to your fuse board.
- • Works with any existing inverter.
- • Does not affect your Feed-in Tariff payments.
- • Can charge from the grid overnight.
Hybrid DC-Coupled
Best if you are installing Solar + Battery together. We use a Hybrid Inverter that manages both the panels and the battery in one unit.
- • Higher efficiency (less energy lost in conversion).
- • Neater installation (fewer boxes on the wall).
- • Tesla Powerwall 3 uses this tech.
Choosing the Right
Battery For Your Home
A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work. Getting the battery size and type right is crucial for maximizing your savings. We analyze three key areas to design your perfect system.
Your Daily Energy Needs
We start by analyzing your electricity bills to understand how much power your family uses daily, and just as importantly, when you use it (e.g., mostly in the evenings).
Your Power Sources
The ideal battery depends on your energy sources. Are you storing excess power from solar panels, charging from cheap off-peak grid electricity, or both?
Your Future Goals
We consider your long-term plans. Are you thinking of getting an EV or a heat pump in the future? We design modular systems that can grow with your needs.

4. Power On & Support
We'll commission your system, show you how to monitor its performance via the app, and leave you to enjoy your new-found energy independence with our full support.
Good News:
0% VAT on All
Home Batteries
As of February 2024, the UK government has removed the 20% VAT on all domestic battery storage installations.
This means you now pay 0% VAT whether you are installing a battery with solar, adding one to an existing system, or even installing a battery as a standalone solution to take advantage of smart tariffs.
This is a significant, immediate saving, but this government incentive is currently set to end on 31st March 2027.

Honest Advice
Transparency is key to a successful installation. Understanding these two points will help you get the most out of your new battery system.
Understanding Your Battery's Power Output
A battery's total capacity (kWh) is different from its instant power output (kW). A 13.5kWh battery might have a 5kW output, which is perfect for most homes but wouldn't power a 10kW electric shower on its own. We design your system around these real-world needs to ensure you always have the power you expect, when you expect it.
Installation Safety is Non-Negotiable
Your family's safety is our highest priority. We carefully assess the best location for your battery, ensuring it's well-ventilated and never obstructs fire escape routes. All our work is certified and rigorously adheres to the strictest UK safety standards for your complete peace of mind.
An Ironclad
Guarantee
Your investment is protected. We back our best-in-class battery systems with some of the strongest warranties and guarantees in the industry.
10+ Year Battery Warranty
We only install batteries from leading manufacturers like Tesla, GivEnergy, and Sonnen, all of which come with extensive manufacturer warranties of at least 10 years.
Installation Workmanship Guarantee
Our commitment to quality doesn't end with the hardware. We stand by the quality of our installation work, from the wiring to the commissioning, for a full decade.
Your Satisfaction, Guaranteed
We aren't happy unless you are. We consider the job done only when you're 100% satisfied with your new battery system and confident in how to use it.
Can I Go Off-Grid with Battery Storage?
Many customers ask about off-grid battery storage. While going fully off-grid in Scotland is challenging due to winter light levels, our systems offer "Island Mode." This means if the grid goes down, your battery instantly isolates your house from the street and keeps your lights, fridge, and WiFi running. It’s the security of being off-grid, with the safety net of the mains.
