WhatsAppCan I install battery storage without solar panels?
Yes. Battery storage systems can connect directly to your household consumer unit to charge from the mains grid overnight on cheaper off-peak electricity tariffs, then discharge stored power into your home during higher-rate daytime hours.
Where can the battery system be installed?
Batteries are usually positioned in a garage, utility room or sturdy outbuilding with adequate ventilation and wall or floor support. Certain weather-rated battery enclosures can also be mounted on an external building wall.
How long does a battery storage installation take?
Most domestic battery installations take between one and two days, depending on the distance and cable run back to your consumer unit. Mains electricity to the property is turned off for only a short period while making final connections.
Do you handle the grid connection permissions?
Yes. We complete and submit the required G98 or G99 paperwork to Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, confirming that your energy storage equipment meets network connection regulations.
Will a battery system keep power on during a power cut?
Standard battery storage installations shut down during a grid power cut to prevent feeding power back into the public network. If backup power is needed during a power cut, an emergency power switch must be integrated into the installation.
