Benefits of a Solar Battery Storage Installation with PWS
Installing solar panels is merely one step in making your home energy-independent. By integrating solar battery storage into your energy system, you can enjoy all the benefits of renewable energy while having greater control over your energy usage and costs.
Maximise Renewable Energy Usage
Investing in solar panel battery storage is a sound investment as it boosts the efficiency of solar panels. The technology allows you to maximise the use of renewable energy. By storing the extra electricity generated during the day, you reduce waste and increase overall energy efficiency.
Reduced Energy Bills
Solar battery storage helps to radically reduce energy bills by storing excess electricity produced by solar panels. This stored energy can be used during evenings and peak hours when electricity rates are higher or when the solar panels are not producing enough energy. This contributes to significant savings on monthly energy costs.
Energy Independence
With solar battery storage you can more easily achieve energy independence. This means relying less on the power grid and having a consistent energy supply – even during a power outage. By storing the excess energy solar panels generate, you reduce the dependence on external energy sources.
Increased Property Value
Properties equipped with solar panels and battery storage solutions tend to see an increase in property value. The addition of a solar battery system is an attractive feature for potential buyers, as it offers long-term savings and energy reliability, making the property more appealing in the real estate market.
Consistent Solar Power Supply
Solar battery storage ensures a reliable renewable energy source by optimising the use of sunlight. This means even on cloudy days or during the night, the energy stored in the batteries can be used to power the home, providing a consistent and reliable energy supply regardless of weather conditions.
Low Maintenance
Modern battery systems are designed to require minimal maintenance. Our systems are built to last and come with warranties that guarantee performance. This means you can enjoy the benefits of solar energy without the hassle of frequent upkeep, ensuring long-term reliability and convenience.
Effective in Scotland
In Glasgow, where sunlight can be less predictable, battery storage is particularly beneficial. It allows you to store maximum energy during sunny periods and use it when direct sunlight is scarce. This ensures that the solar energy system remains efficient and effective.

FAQs About Battery Storage for Solar Panels
Switching your home over to renewable energy does not need to be daunting. We’ve answered the most common questions about battery storage to get you started.
The size of battery storage needed to power a house depends on your household’s electricity usage. For an average home, a battery storage system between 10 kWh to 15 kWh should be sufficient to cover overnight and backup power needs.
The required battery storage for a 6kW solar PV system depends on your energy consumption patterns. Typically, a 6 kW system would benefit from at least 10 kWh of battery storage to maximise efficiency and energy savings.
To charge a 10 kWh battery, you need enough solar PV panels to generate that amount of energy. Depending on the efficiency and wattage of the panels, typically around 25-30 solar panels of 400W each would be required.
No, the installation of battery energy storage in Scotland are no longer incentivised with interest free loans. As of 6 June 2024, the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan do not provide new referrals for solar PV and battery storage systems.
When solar batteries are full, any unused energy generated by the solar panels is typically diverted back to the power grid, allowing homeowners to potentially earn credits through net metering programs.
A typical refrigerator uses about 1-2 kWh per day. A fully charged 10 kWh solar battery could run a refrigerator for approximately 5–10 days, depending on the refrigerator’s efficiency and power usage.
From February 1st 2024 standalone battery installations changed to 0% VAT rate, giving consumers substantial savings. Previously batteries only qualified for 0% VAT when installed at the same time as solar panels.
A solar storage battery can have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Advances in technology and proper upkeep can potentially extend this lifespan.
Yes, a solar storage battery can be charged directly from solar panels. Home energy storage systems are designed to store the renewable electricity generated by your solar panels, optimising the use of solar energy and reducing reliance on the grid.
Yes, with the correct battery storage system in place you can run a heat pump off solar batteries. Optimise the energy usage of the heat pump by not changing the settings on the thermostat.
