That energy either gets used immediately or exported to the grid for around 15p per unit. In the evening when you're home and demand is high, you buy it back for 25p or more. A battery storage solution in Codsall closes that gap. Your daytime generation charges the battery. Your evening demand draws from it. The maths work firmly in your favour.
Battery storage doesn't change how your home runs. It changes where the energy comes from. Swap expensive peak-rate electricity for your own stored solar power and your bills fall consistently — not just in summer, but throughout the year when paired with smart tariff charging overnight.
Battery storage eliminates that vulnerability entirely. Your home switches to stored power the instant the grid drops, with no action needed from you. Everything keeps running exactly as it should until grid supply is restored.
A home with a fully integrated solar and battery system commands attention on the market. It offers lower running costs, a better EPC rating, and a ready-made renewable energy setup that buyers increasingly want. Installing battery storage now benefits your household financially today and your property value when you eventually sell.
We meet those expectations on every job. Our MCS-certified engineers are punctual, tidy, and thorough. Your home is treated with care throughout. And we remain directly contactable long after your battery storage system in Codsall is installed — not through a generic support line.
From your first enquiry to your system going live, here’s exactly what the Makse Electrical process looks like for Codsall customers.
Codsall has a high concentration of detached and semi-detached homes with larger roof areas — many of which are well orientated for solar generation. A significant number of properties in the village already have solar panels fitted. For those households, a battery is the most impactful single upgrade available. It transforms a solar system that currently exports most of its output into one that powers the home directly, around the clock.
Yes — considerably more. Households with someone at home during the day already consume more solar energy directly, which means less surplus to store. However, battery storage still delivers strong savings by covering evening and overnight demand, enabling overnight EV charging from stored solar, and providing uninterrupted power during any grid outages — which matters significantly for home office setups reliant on broadband and IT equipment.
Extremely well, when configured correctly. Stored solar energy can be used to charge your electric vehicle overnight at effectively zero fuel cost. A smart EV charger paired with your battery management system prioritises solar charging and draws from the grid only when stored energy runs low. We install EV chargers alongside battery storage systems — so both can be designed to work together from the outset.
For a Codsall home with solar panels, the typical payback period falls between 6 and 9 years — potentially shorter for larger properties with higher energy consumption and bigger solar arrays. With system lifespans of 10 to 15 years, most Codsall customers enjoy several years of near-free electricity once their system has paid for itself. We calculate a personalised payback projection as part of your free proposal.
Battery storage paired with solar panels can contribute positively to your Energy Performance Certificate rating. An improved EPC benefits your household’s running costs and can strengthen your property’s position when selling or remortgaging. If EPC improvement is a specific goal, we can advise on the system configuration most likely to deliver the best outcome for your Codsall property.
