Monitor everything
App-based monitoring shows what your panels generate, what the battery holds and what you draw from the grid.
Backup options
Many systems can be set up to keep essential circuits running during a power cut. We'll explain what's possible for your property.
Who we install for
Battery storage for homes and businesses
Homeowners
Retro-fit a battery to existing solar panels, or install solar and battery together as one system.
Businesses
Commercial battery storage to cut peak-time demand and make better use of rooftop solar on offices, units and warehouses.
EV drivers
Pair a battery with an EV charge point so more of your car's charging comes from stored or off-peak energy.

FAQ
Battery storage questions
How much does battery storage cost in Preston?
It depends on the battery size, whether you already have solar and where it will be installed. After a free survey we give you a fixed-price quote, so you know exactly what you'll pay before any work is agreed.
Can you add a battery to my existing solar panels?
Yes. We regularly retro-fit batteries to existing solar systems. We'll check your current inverter and wiring and recommend the most cost-effective way to add storage.
Do I need solar panels to have a battery?
No. A battery can charge from the grid on a cheaper off-peak tariff and supply your home during peak hours. Adding solar later is straightforward.
Where does the battery go?
Usually in a garage, utility room or on an external wall. We'll recommend a safe, accessible location during the survey.
Do you cover areas outside Preston?
Yes. We're based in Preston and install battery storage across Lancashire and the wider North West.
