Home Battery Storage Solutions in Prestwich

Using Stored Electricity When Demand Rises

A home can use relatively little electricity for part of the day before demand increases through cooking, laundry, home working, entertainment and EV charging.

Battery storage allows electricity generated or purchased earlier to be held for use during these busier periods. The system still needs to be planned around the household rather than selected using property size alone.

Renewable Planet’s domestic installation service includes:

reviewing recent electricity use and higher-demand periods
checking the meter, incoming supply and consumer units
assessing existing solar PV and inverter equipment
agreeing the battery position and connection route
managing DNO requirements where needed
installing, testing and commissioning the system
setting up app monitoring and explaining the controls

Fitting Equipment Into an Established Home

Available space can be limited once garages have been converted, utility rooms are in regular use and side access has been enclosed or altered.

A suitable external wall may provide a practical alternative, but its construction, position and distance from the electrical equipment must be considered. The battery also needs the correct clearances and enough access for installation and future maintenance.

We review the available options during the property assessment and agree the proposed position before work begins. This helps avoid equipment being placed where it interferes with storage, doors, garden access or planned building work.

Seeing What Tesla Powerwall Is Doing

Renewable Planet supplies and installs Tesla Powerwall systems for homeowners throughout Prestwich.

The Tesla app shows how much electricity is stored, how much the home is using and when the battery is charging or discharging. Where solar PV is connected, it can also show electricity moving between the panels, battery, home and grid.

The system operates automatically once it has been configured. Homeowners can monitor performance through the app without needing to adjust it continually throughout the day.

Checking Electrical Work Completed at Different Times

Older homes may have had their electrics altered during extensions, kitchen renovations, loft conversions or the addition of an EV charger.

This can result in more than one consumer unit or circuits installed at different stages. Before a battery is connected, we review the relevant equipment, earthing arrangement and incoming electricity supply.

Any work needed for a safe and suitable connection is identified during the assessment. A full rewire is not automatically required simply because parts of the electrical installation are older.

Allowing for Solar PV and Future Household Changes

Battery storage can be added to an existing solar PV installation or installed as a grid-charged system where appropriate.

Existing solar equipment needs to be checked so we understand how it is connected and how surplus generation is currently managed. This is particularly important where panels or inverters have been replaced since the original installation.

Future plans such as an additional EV, electric heating or a home extension should also be discussed. These changes may affect electricity demand, consumer unit capacity and any DNO requirements considered as part of the battery installation.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a home battery be installed in a cellar?

A cellar may be considered, but not every space will be suitable. We assess access, moisture, ventilation, wall construction and manufacturer requirements before recommending an internal installation position.

What if the property has a 60-amp main fuse?

The incoming supply and existing electrical loads need to be checked as part of the assessment. Depending on the battery design and other equipment at the property, a supply alteration or DNO involvement may be required.

Can battery storage be installed in a leasehold flat or converted house?

Potentially, but permission may be needed from the freeholder or management company. The metering arrangement, individual electricity supply and any proposed work through communal areas must also be reviewed.

Will an electric shower or induction hob discharge the battery quickly?

High-demand appliances can use stored electricity rapidly. Depending on the battery output and the appliance load, electricity may also be drawn from the grid at the same time. We consider these appliances when reviewing capacity and household demand.

Should a planned consumer unit replacement be completed before the battery is installed?

It is often sensible to coordinate both pieces of work. Reviewing the battery connection before the consumer unit is replaced can help ensure the new arrangement has the correct capacity and avoid duplicated electrical work.
