Tesla Powerwall & Battery Storage Installation in Middlewich

Domestic battery storage planned, installed and commissioned around your solar panels, household electrics and daily electricity use.

Home Battery Storage Installation in Middlewich

Plan The Installation Around The Main Electricity Supply

The position of the electricity meter and consumer unit can influence where a home battery is installed and how it connects with existing solar PV.

In some homes, the main electrical equipment is grouped inside an integral garage. In others, the meter is at the front of the property while the solar inverter and preferred battery position are further towards the rear.

Renewable Planet provides a complete domestic battery storage installation service in Middlewich. We review the electrical arrangement, available space and household demand before agreeing the equipment and connection route.

Our service can include:

review of household electricity use
Tesla Powerwall system specification
integration with new or existing solar PV
internal and external position planning
electrical installation and testing
DNO applications where required
commissioning and app setup

Any required electrical preparation is explained before work begins, along with the proposed position of the battery and supporting equipment.

Make Daytime Solar Available Later

A household may generate more solar electricity than it needs during quieter daytime periods. Demand can then increase in the evening through cooking, laundry, lighting and other appliances.

Powerwall can store suitable surplus solar generation so it remains available for use later. It can be installed alongside a new solar PV system or added to compatible panels already operating at the property.

Depending on the tariff and system arrangement, charging from the grid during suitable off-peak periods may also be considered.

The monitoring app can be used to follow:

solar electricity generation
current battery charge
household electricity demand
electricity imported from the grid
electricity exported from the property

We complete the app setup and explain the main controls as part of the system handover.

Using An Integral Garage Without Losing Useful Space

An integral garage can place the battery close to the home’s electrical equipment, but the wall still needs to remain practical for everyday use.

Shelving, appliances, bicycles, vehicle charging equipment and household storage may already occupy the available space. A garage conversion may also be planned later.

We consider how the proposed position affects:

parking and vehicle doors
storage and shelving
sockets and appliances
an existing or planned EV charger
access for future maintenance
the route of the electrical connections

A suitable external wall may provide another option where the garage cannot accommodate the equipment without becoming less useful.

Adding Storage To An Older Solar PV System

Solar panels do not automatically need replacing because they were installed several years ago or supplied by another company.

We can review the inverter, generation meter, monitoring equipment and electrical connections to understand the existing setup. Equipment labels and generation information may still help where the original installation documents are no longer available.

The inverter position and condition will also be considered. Where replacement is required, we will explain how the work can be coordinated with the battery installation.

Any relevant DNO application or notification can be managed as part of the service.

Coordinating Battery Storage With An EV Charger

EV charging can create one of the largest regular electrical demands in the home. Its connection and normal charging times should therefore be included when the battery system is planned.

Where a charger is already installed, we review how it connects to the main supply and any separate consumer unit. Where one is planned, its likely position and electrical requirements should be discussed during the initial enquiry.

This allows the battery, solar PV and vehicle charging equipment to be considered together rather than added independently.

Other planned changes should also be mentioned, including:

an air source heat pump
electric cooking
a garden office
an extension
additional solar panels
a second electric vehicle

Match The System To Everyday Electricity Use

The number of bedrooms alone does not show when or how much electricity a household uses.

Recent bills, smart meter readings and available solar data can help identify periods of higher demand and how much generated electricity is currently exported.

A household where someone works from home may use more electricity during the day. Another may have relatively low daytime consumption followed by higher evening demand.

We use this information to plan the system around realistic electricity patterns and any changes expected at the property.

Savings on energy bills will vary depending on the type/efficiency of the system being replaced.

Once the design is agreed, we complete the installation, testing and commissioning. The monitoring controls are then connected and explained during handover.
