Your questions answered about solar battery installation near you

Can I install my own solar battery system?

You may be wondering, “Can anyone install a solar battery, or is this a job best left to the professionals?”

We would always recommend hiring a qualified professional to install your solar battery system. Many battery and inverter manufacturers insist on this in order to validate their guarantees.

As well as helping to select the right capacity battery for your needs, there’s also the location to think about:

  • If installing an outdoor solar battery, it must achieve the high protection class IP65 for water ingress
  • If installed indoors, carefully choose the location to avoid being disturbed by the noise of the battery’s cooling fan

How much does it cost to add a battery to a solar power system?

In the UK, the cost of a solar panel battery ranges depending on its capacity, the battery material, and its lifespan.

The typical home battery storage system size is around 4kWh. As a guide, expect to pay around £4,000 for a standard battery of this size with a 10 to 15-year life.

However, the price of solar power batteries can range hugely depending on your needs and the model you choose.

What size battery do I need?

The typical home battery storage system is around 4kWh, although larger capacities are available.

To determine the best-size battery for your needs, review the export data for your home. By assessing how much spare electricity your home exports to the grid on a typical day, you’ll be in a good position to decide on the right-sized battery.

An experienced home battery storage installer near you will be able to help you do the calculations.
