A home battery stores electricity so you can use it later. That can be solar power from the afternoon, or cheaper off-peak electricity from the grid on a time-of-use tariff. Pentland Renewables sizes and arranges batteries for homes across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
New solar + battery: designed together from the start.
Existing solar: a battery can often be added to panels you already have. See adding a battery to existing solar. We check your inverter and wiring on the survey.
No solar: a battery can still charge from the grid at off-peak times, depending on your tariff.
We look at how much electricity you use, when you use it, what your panels produce (if you have them) and the tariff you're on. A bigger battery isn't always better. The right size is the one that you'll actually fill and empty most days.
Batteries connect to the SP Energy Networks grid. Depending on the size, that is a notify-after (G98) or an apply-first (G99) process. We tell you which applies before you commit.
