“Excellent communication, efficient and professional installation, i can't speak highly enough of the job they did.”
Battery storage is the single biggest upgrade most Preston homeowners can make to cut their electricity bills — and as your local installer in Penwortham, we fit and commission systems across the city every week.
Whether you already have solar or want a standalone battery to take advantage of cheap overnight tariffs, we size every system to your actual usage rather than selling you more capacity than you need.
A battery lets you store cheap or self-generated energy and use it when grid prices are highest. Charge overnight on a tariff like Octopus Go or Intelligent Octopus (from around £0.07/kWh) and run your Preston home through the expensive peak-rate hours on stored power.
Pair a battery with solar and you store your surplus daytime generation for the evening instead of exporting it cheaply. No solar yet? A standalone battery on an off-peak tariff still delivers real savings, and you can add panels later.
We fit the full EcoFlow, SolaX, Sigenergy, Fox ESS and Alpha ESS ranges — both AC- and DC-coupled — from around 5kWh up to 30kWh+. We’ll recommend the right chemistry and capacity for your home after looking at your usage pattern.
Use the time slider to watch the battery charge from solar and off-peak grid, then power your home through the evening peak.
Recent battery storage installs across Preston and the North West.
Yes — on a time-of-use tariff you can charge the battery overnight at a low rate and use that energy during expensive peak hours. Many Preston households fit a battery first and add solar later.
It depends on your daily electricity use and whether you have solar or an EV. We size every system to your actual consumption — typically 5kWh to 10kWh for an average Preston home, larger for high-usage households.
In most cases, yes. We can retrofit an AC-coupled battery to almost any existing solar system, regardless of who installed the panels.
Some of the systems we install offer backup (EPS) functionality that keeps selected circuits running during a power cut. Tell us it’s a priority and we’ll specify a system that supports it.
