Quick answer: A home battery stores surplus solar generation so you can use it after dark, or charge on a cheaper overnight tariff to cut daytime imports. We supply and arrange battery storage for homes across East Kilbride, retrofitted to existing solar or installed as part of a new system, fitted through MCS-certified partners.
East Kilbride's long summer days mean a well-sized solar array will often produce far more than a household can use during daylight. Without storage, that surplus is exported. A battery lets you keep it on site and use it in the evening, when demand peaks and the panels have stopped producing. Through the darker winter months, the same battery can charge on a cheaper overnight tariff to reduce what you import at peak times.
We install AC-coupled and DC-coupled batteries, sized to your generation and usage. Modular systems mean you can start with one unit and add capacity later if your needs change — for example when you switch to an electric vehicle or a heat pump.
Yes. Most existing solar installs in G74 and G75 can be retrofitted with an AC-coupled battery, which sits alongside your current inverter and charges from surplus generation. If your inverter is reaching the end of its life, a hybrid inverter with battery can be a neater single-box upgrade. We assess your current setup and recommend the cleanest route.
Most home batteries are wall-mounted in a garage, utility room or plant cupboard, with a cable run to your consumer unit. Outdoor-rated cabinets are available where indoor space is tight. As part of the survey we confirm a suitable location, the cable route and any upgrades your consumer unit might need.
Finance available, subject to status. Battery warranties typically run for ten years or a set throughput, and we only fit units from established manufacturers with a UK service network.
