Quick answer

A standalone home battery charges from cheap overnight electricity (e.g. Octopus Flux) and powers your home during expensive peak hours — no solar required. It typically costs £4,000–£9,000, suits homes with high evening use, and adds blackout backup.

Even if your home isn't suited to new solar panels, or if you're in a listed building with restrictions on roof installations, battery storage can still deliver powerful energy benefits.

Battery systems store electricity during low-cost periods and discharge during higher-cost times. Using smart tariffs like Octopus Flux, you can charge your battery overnight at cheap rates and use that stored energy during expensive peak hours — saving significantly on every bill.

Stand-alone battery storage is also an excellent choice for homes that want backup power during outages. Systems can be configured to automatically switch to battery power, keeping essential circuits running when the grid goes down.

As a Tesla Certified Installer, we offer the Powerwall 3 alongside solutions from Sigenergy, GoodWe, EcoFlow, and Fox ESS. Every system is designed to be future-ready, with easy integration of solar panels when the time is right.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is a battery worth it without solar panels?
Yes. Using smart tariffs like Octopus Flux, you can charge your battery overnight at cheap rates (often 7–10p/kWh) and discharge during expensive peak times (30–40p/kWh). The savings can be substantial even without solar generation.
Can I add solar panels later?
Every battery system we install is designed to be future-ready. When you decide to add solar panels, integration is straightforward because we plan for it from the outset.
How much space does a battery need?
Modern home batteries are compact. A Tesla Powerwall is roughly the size of a small suitcase and can be wall-mounted inside a garage, utility room, or outside. We assess your space during the site survey.
Will a battery power my whole house during an outage?
This depends on your battery capacity and power consumption. Most systems can keep essential circuits running (lights, fridge, router) for several hours. We configure backup circuits during installation to match your priorities.
