Your solar panels generate free electricity — but without a battery, it goes straight to the grid. Then you buy it back at full price in the evening. A battery storage solution in Cannock keeps that energy at home where it belongs.
Draw on stored solar energy during peak hours instead of paying grid rates. It's a straightforward swap — and Cannock homeowners notice the difference from their very first bill.
When they do, a battery-equipped home simply carries on. There's no manual intervention needed. Your stored energy takes over automatically, keeping your appliances, heating, and lighting running without a flicker. For households with medical equipment, home offices, or young children, that reliability is genuinely important.
Every unit of stored solar energy used at home is one less unit drawn from fossil fuels. Battery storage is a practical, measurable way to reduce your carbon footprint — right on the doorstep of Cannock Chase.
Our engineers work in and around Cannock regularly. We respond quickly, we turn up when we say we will, and we're available after installation if anything needs attention. For Cannock homeowners, that local accountability makes a real difference.
We’ve designed our installation process to be clear, efficient, and completely hassle-free for Cannock customers.
Your solar panels generate electricity at no cost to you — but only when the sun is shining. Without a battery, that free energy gets exported to the grid when you’re not using it. In the evening when you are home and using electricity, you’re buying it from your supplier at full price. A battery stores the free solar energy and uses it during those peak hours instead. The difference between what you’d have paid the grid and what your battery supplied is your saving — and it adds up significantly over a year.
Yes. A battery-only installation can store cheap off-peak electricity — for example, overnight on a time-of-use tariff — and use it during more expensive daytime and evening periods. The savings are smaller than a solar-paired system, but it’s still a worthwhile investment, particularly as energy prices remain high. It also positions your Cannock home perfectly for solar panels to be added later.
Residential installations in Cannock typically range from £4,000 to £10,000 depending on battery capacity, brand, and whether any additional components such as a hybrid inverter are required. The good news is that battery storage systems installed with solar panels are currently zero-rated for VAT — a significant saving. We provide a fully itemised quote after your free home assessment so you know every cost upfront.
In most cases, yes. Older solar installations can accommodate a battery through an AC-coupled setup, which connects to your existing inverter without replacing it. Our engineers assess your current system during the free survey and confirm compatibility before recommending anything. The age of your solar system is rarely a barrier to adding battery storage.
In the vast majority of cases, no. Domestic battery storage systems are treated as permitted development in the UK and don’t require planning permission. The exception may apply to listed buildings or properties within designated conservation areas. Our engineers confirm the planning position for your specific Cannock property during the initial survey.
