WhatsAppCan battery storage be installed without solar panels?
Yes. Battery systems can be connected directly to the grid to charge during cheaper off peak hours and discharge during high rate daytime periods.
Where is a battery system typically installed?
Units are usually mounted in a garage, utility room, or on a suitable external wall. The location requires adequate ventilation, clearance, and structural support for the weight of the equipment.
How long does a battery storage installation take?
Most domestic installations take one to two days. Power to the property is only switched off for a short period while the new circuit is tied into your consumer unit.
Will a battery provide power during a mains power cut?
Standard grid tied battery systems turn off during an outage for network safety. An emergency power supply or dedicated islanding switchgear must be incorporated if backup power is required.
Do you handle the grid notification for the installation?
Yes. We submit all required G98 or G99 paperwork to Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, confirming that your battery installation complies with grid connection standards.
