Decide What You Want the Battery to Do

A home battery can be used in several ways. It may store surplus solar generation, charge from the grid at selected times or supply stored electricity when household demand increases.

The right arrangement depends on what the homeowner wants the system to support. Evening electricity use, home working, electric vehicle charging and seasonal changes can all influence the battery capacity and operating settings.

Renewable Planet’s domestic battery storage installation service includes:

reviewing household electricity consumption
discussing how and when stored electricity will be used
checking the meter, main fuse and consumer units
assessing existing solar PV and inverter equipment
planning the battery position and electrical connections
managing DNO requirements where needed
completing installation, testing and commissioning
connecting app monitoring and explaining the system

Check the Electrical Supply Before Selecting a System

Battery capacity is only one part of the installation. The incoming electricity supply, main fuse and existing household loads also need to be understood.

An EV charger, electric shower, induction hob or heat pump can place substantial demand on the supply. Several consumer units may also be present where a property has been extended or electrical work has been completed at different times.

We assess these points before finalising the battery design. Where DNO approval or a supply alteration is required, this can be identified and managed as part of the installation process.

Tesla Powerwall 3 Installation in Scholar Green

Renewable Planet supplies and installs Tesla Powerwall 3 systems for homeowners in Scholar Green.

Powerwall 3 provides 13.5kWh of battery storage and incorporates an 11.5kW inverter. It can store electricity from compatible solar panels or charge from the grid during selected periods where this suits the household tariff and system configuration.

Through the Tesla app, homeowners can monitor the battery charge level, household consumption, solar generation and electricity imported from or exported to the grid. The system is commissioned and the principal monitoring controls are explained during handover.

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

Connecting Different Parts of the Property

The main house, garage and other domestic spaces may not all be supplied from the same consumer unit.

A garage could have its own distribution board, while solar equipment may be located in the loft or attached to another part of the property. These separate elements need to be understood before a battery connection point is agreed.

We trace the relevant electrical arrangement, review existing cables and establish which household loads the proposed system will monitor and support. This prevents assumptions being made about circuits that appear close together but are connected differently.

Keep the Installation Accessible for Future Work

A suitable battery position must remain accessible after installation. Garages and utility areas can become crowded with storage, appliances and equipment, while an external wall may later be affected by an extension, gate or landscaping work.

We consider wall construction, working clearances, ventilation and the likelihood of future changes before agreeing the position. The cable route is also planned in advance so it does not interfere unnecessarily with living areas or existing services.

Once the installation is complete, the system is tested and commissioned. Monitoring is connected and the homeowner is shown how to check charging, discharge and stored electricity levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can battery storage be installed where the home has an overhead electricity supply?

It may be possible. The incoming supply, main fuse and DNO records need to be checked before the system design is confirmed. The overhead cable itself does not automatically prevent battery installation.

Can a battery be connected when the consumer unit is in the loft?

Potentially, although access and the connection route need careful consideration. The battery does not normally need to be positioned in the loft, and another suitable installation point may be used once the electrical layout has been assessed.

Can a battery work with solar panels facing in different directions?

Yes, in many cases. Panels on different roof elevations may generate electricity at different times of day, which can spread solar production over a longer period. We check the inverter and electrical arrangement before confirming how storage can be incorporated.

Does the Tesla app show how much electricity each appliance is using?

The standard monitoring view shows overall household consumption and the movement of electricity between the home, battery, solar system and grid. It does not normally identify every individual appliance without additional monitoring equipment.

Will the battery charge when solar generation is lower than household demand?

Solar charging generally depends on surplus electricity being available after the immediate household demand has been met. Where there is no surplus, the battery may remain at its current level unless grid charging has been configured for an appropriate period.
