Energy Storage

Energy Price Cap will rise in January

With the energy price cap to rise in January adding pressure on household expenditure now is the time to enquire about the latest Solar & Home Battery systems.

Solar when partnered with Home Battery Systems and off-peak or dynamic electricity tariffs can help lower your bills. There was no reason why with a correctly sized Solar system & Battery much of your summer electricity cannot be Solar generated, either used at time of generation or stored to use later. in the Winter when Solar generation is lower the Battery can be used to charge from the grid, with off-peak tariffs that are lower cost & often when electricity is coming from lower carbon generation.

13% discount off Tesla Powerwall

As part of our 13th anniversary celebration we are offering a 13% discount off the Tesla Powerwall 2 & Gateway* when ordered together with any Solar PV System.

The Tesla Powerwall has 3 main functions:

  • Increase self-consumption of Solar power generation: Powerwall can store surplus Solar energy during daylight hours and use that energy later in the evening when the sun is not shining.
  • Time of Use/Load shifting: Powerwall can charge during low rate periods when demand for electricity is lower and discharge during more expensive rate periods when electricity demand is higher.
  • Back-up power: In the event of a grid outage, Backup Gateway is now available to ensure your Powerwall continues to power your home or select circuits. Backup Gateway will also ensure your Solar PV system continues to generate energy during a power cut.

*The offer is valid for all orders placed from 13th October until 13th November and is only for the first Powerwall & Gateway with any order. It cannot be included with any other special promotion or where additional discount has already been offered.

Solar & Energy Storage 0% VAT

Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced yesterday during the Spring Statement 2022, the Government are cutting VAT on installing energy-saving materials in residential properties from 5% to 0% from 1 April 2022 until 31 March 2027.

Solar Energy UK has sought clarity from Government on the classification of domestic energy storage within the VAT announcement and we are delighted to announce that Government has confirmed that the zero rate VAT applies to domestic energy storage when installed with solar, although retrofit or standalone batteries would still be subject to 20% VAT.

As you can imagine this has generated a great deal of interest especially with the current energy price increases home owners are seeing so we ask that please be patient when making enquiries as we may take longer to reply than normal.

Rest assured that when we do install for you, we will use market leading products and install to the highest quality.

Tesla Powerwall Storm Watch Function

Back up power has really proved its value over the last few days as the country has experienced three storms; Dudley, Eunice & Franklin.

Our Tesla Powerwall customers with the Back Up Tesla Energy Gateway (TEG) have seen the benefit of the Storm Watch function.

Storm Watch is a function enabled by the system owner that allows Powerwall to charge up in readiness for a potential power cut. When a severe weather alert is received Powerwall will charge to 100% and remain charged until either there is a power outage or the storm passes.

 

In the event of a power cut Powerwall will automatically become your home’s energy source. Unlike generators, Powerwall keeps your lights on and phones charged without upkeep, fuel or noise. Pair with solar and recharge with sunlight to keep your appliances running for days.

 

Once the storm passes Powerwall returns to its normal status charging using surplus Solar energy or making use of off-peak tariffs.
