The Service
What Is Home Battery Storage Installation?
Home battery storage installation covers fitting a battery system — usually paired with solar via a hybrid inverter, or AC-coupled to an existing solar setup — with the correct connection, protection and certification.
A battery lets you store solar generation (or cheap off-peak electricity) and use it later, increasing self-consumption and providing some back-up power if the system supports it.
Common Reasons
Common Problems & Reasons People Get in Touch
Not sure if this is the service you need? Here are some of the reasons people contact an electrician about this.
What's Included
What's Typically Involved
- Assessment of your supply and storage goals
- Installation of the battery and inverter (hybrid or AC-coupled)
- Connection into the consumer unit with correct protection
- Set-up of charging schedules and backup (if supported)
- Certification and DNO notification where required
Why It Matters
Why Professional Electrical Work Matters
A battery is a significant DC energy store. It must be correctly sited, ventilated, protected and certified — poor installation risks fire and poor performance.
Battery storage increases the value of solar by letting you use your own generation, and can provide backup power during an outage if the system is specified for it.
Costs & Pricing
Costs & What Affects Pricing
Pricing for electrical work depends on the job. Here are the factors that typically affect the cost of this service.
- The battery capacity (kWh)
- Whether it's a hybrid or AC-coupled system
- Whether a new inverter is needed
- The installation location and cable runs
- Whether backup capability is included
Battery cost scales mainly with capacity. A battery added to existing solar may need an AC-coupled setup. Tell us your goals and we can help.
