Choosing an MCS-certified installer guarantees a high-quality renewable energy system. MCS certification signifies adherence to stringent performance and safety standards, verifying both equipment quality and installer competence. This rigorous vetting process ensures installers demonstrate proven compliance with MCS standards, providing assurance in their technical expertise and the reliability of your installation.
RESIDENTIAL BATTERY STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Cut your energy bills, power your home day & night. Stay protected.
Cut Your Electricity Bills and Keep Your Home Powered
Financial savings
Battery storage helps you keep more of your energy — and more of your money. Store cheaper or solar power and reduce your electricity bills year after year.
Resilience & Security During Grid Outages
When the grid goes down, your home doesn’t. Battery storage provides secure backup power, keeping lights on, essentials running, and your household safe.
Protect against rising prices
As energy prices continue to rise, battery storage protects your home — reducing your exposure to volatile tariffs and giving you greater control over what you pay.
Battery options
DC – Coupled Battery (Hybrid System)
- With fewer components required, DC‑coupled systems are often more cost‑effective when solar and battery are installed together.
- Solar panels, inverter, and battery work as a single package, delivering smoother performance and simpler control through one smart platform.
- DC‑coupled systems store solar energy directly, avoiding extra power conversions and helping you keep more of what your panels generate
- Batteries can charge at full solar output before export limits apply, maximising self‑use and reducing reliance on the grid.
AC – Coupled Battery System
- Add a battery without changing your current solar panels or inverter, keeping your existing system intact while avoiding disruption, costs, or replacement.
- Does not interfere with any existing Feed‑in Tariff arrangements, so you continue receiving payments as before while adding battery storage benefits.
- Works with a wide range of batteries and control platforms, avoiding vendor lock‑in and protecting value as technology and suppliers evolve.
- Easily add more battery capacity over time as your family grows, electricity use rises, or charging becomes part of life.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
What is a home battery and what does it actually do?
A home battery stores electricity so you can use it later instead of buying it from the grid. Most commonly, it stores excess solar energy generated during the day, letting you use your own clean power in the evening when electricity is most expensive.
Put simply: it helps you use more of what you generate—and buy less from the grid.
Is a battery worthwhile if I already have solar panels?
Yes—this is where batteries really shine. Without a battery, much of your solar power is exported during the day and bought back later at a higher price. A battery can increase your self‑consumption from around 30–40% to 60–80% or more, meaning better savings and greater energy independence.
Can I install a battery even if I don’t have solar?
Absolutely. Batteries can charge from the grid during cheap overnight tariffs and discharge during peak hours. This allows you to cut bills straight away and sets your home up perfectly for adding solar later if you choose.
How much money can a home battery save me?
Savings depend on electricity usage and tariff choice, but many homeowners save hundreds of pounds per year by:
- Using more of their own solar.
- Avoiding peak electricity prices.
- Taking advantage of off‑peak rates some households see savings improve further as energy prices rise.
What size battery do I need?
Most homes install batteries between 5 kWh and 15 kWh. The right size depends on:
- Household electricity use
- Solar system size
- Whether you want backup power
We will size the battery so it delivers maximum value—not unnecessary cost.
How long do home batteries last?
Modern lithium‑ion batteries are built for longevity. Most come with:
- 10 to 12 year warranties
- 6,000–10,000+ charge cycles. In practice, that’s many years of daily use with minimal performance loss.
Do home batteries require much maintenance?
No. Home batteries are fully automated. There are no moving parts, and software manages charging and discharging intelligently. Once installed, they largely look after themselves.
Are home batteries safe?
Yes. Certified home batteries are designed to very high safety standards and include:
- Thermal management systems
- Multiple built‑in safety protections
- Compliance with UK and international regulations
Professional installation ensures everything operates safely and efficiently.
Why are more homeowners installing batteries now?
Because batteries give homeowners control:
- Control over rising energy prices
- Control over when they buy or use electricity
- Control over resilience during outages
Many homeowners say a battery completes their solar system—turning it from a good investment into a really smart one.
Will a battery keep my home running during a power cut?
Many batteries can provide backup power if installed with the right equipment. This means essential circuits—such as lights, fridge, Wi‑Fi, and heating controls—can continue running if the grid goes down, adding peace of mind as well as savings.
Battery Storage Designed to Give Your Home More Control
Choosing us means working with a trusted, knowledgeable partner who designs battery storage systems around how your home actually uses electricity. We take a data‑led, home‑specific approach—looking at your energy use, solar generation (if you have it or plan to), and daily usage patterns—to ensure your battery delivers real, measurable benefits.
A well‑designed battery system helps you use more of your own energy, reduce reliance on the grid, and protect your home from rising electricity prices. Whether paired with solar PV or installed on its own, our systems are engineered for reliability, safety, and long‑term performance—not headline figures that don’t translate into real savings.
From initial assessment and system design through installation, commissioning, and ongoing support, we provide clear advice, quality workmanship, and technology you can rely on—giving you greater confidence and control over your home’s energy.
