Do I need solar panels to install battery storage?

No. While batteries are often paired with solar PV, they can also charge from the grid during off-peak tariffs to reduce bills or provide backup power. We design both hybrid solar plus storage and standalone storage solutions.

How long does a typical installation take?

Most domestic battery installs take 1–2 days. Commercial projects vary based on capacity and switchgear requirements. We plan works to minimise downtime for critical circuits.

Will I need approval from my DNO?

Systems above 3.68 kW per phase require G99 notification or approval from your Distribution Network Operator. We prepare and submit all paperwork on your behalf and only proceed once approval is granted.

Can the battery provide backup during a power cut?

Yes. We can configure essential or whole-property backup using hybrid inverters and changeover switches. We'll discuss your priorities during the design stage to ensure critical loads stay live.
