MCS-Certified Home Battery Storage Installers in Edinburgh and East Lothian

Renew-Able Solutions designs and installs home battery storage for new solar PV systems, existing solar installations and suitable standalone applications across Edinburgh, East Lothian and wider Scotland. We size each system around the property’s electricity use, solar generation, tariff strategy, available space and backup requirements. Battery storage can help households use more of their own solar electricity or charge from the grid during selected off-peak periods, but savings depend on consumption, tariffs, system settings and product performance. We provide property-specific advice rather than fixed savings or payback promises. Explore all our renewable energy and heating services.

Our Partners

Our Expertise

Our battery storage service covers site assessment, system design, product selection, DNO requirements, safe installation, commissioning, app setup and customer handover. We assess the existing solar equipment, consumer unit, metering, cable routes, equipment location and export arrangements before recommending a compatible solution. Backup power is optional and must be specifically designed; a standard battery installation does not automatically power a property during a grid outage.

 

Battery Storage Solutions We Design and Install

We design and install battery storage for new solar PV projects, suitable existing systems and standalone applications. Our product range includes Sigenergy SigenStor, Tesla Powerwall, Fox ESS and Eleven Energy, subject to property requirements, system compatibility and product availability. Capacity, inverter power, expansion options and backup capability are specified for the individual property rather than sold as a standard package.

For a closer look at Tesla, read our Powerwall 3 guide. It explains why we value its firmware and technology, what the Backup Gateway does and how extra battery capacity can be added.

Compare the features of Eleven Energy, Fox ESS, Sigenergy and Tesla in our solar and battery brands guide, including sodium technology, AI controls, tariff optimisation and aftercare.

Solar PV and Battery Storage

For new installations, we can design solar PV and battery storage together so the inverter, battery capacity, export settings and monitoring work as one system. Backup power is included only where compatible equipment and a dedicated EPS or backup design are specified.

Retrofitting Battery Storage

Retrofitting Battery Storage

We can add suitable AC-coupled or compatible hybrid battery storage to many existing solar PV systems. A survey confirms inverter compatibility, metering, export limits, equipment location, cable routes and any DNO requirements before we recommend an option.

Stackable Storage Options

Scalable and Product-Specific Storage

Battery capacity and expansion options vary by manufacturer and system. We size storage around electricity consumption, solar generation, tariff use, inverter power and any backup loads rather than offering a standard capacity range for every property.

Our Battery Storage Survey, Design and Installation Process

Get a Free Battery Storage Consultation

Tell us about your property, existing solar PV, electricity use, tariff and whether you require backup power. We’ll explain the suitable options and arrange a technical survey where required.

Assess my battery backup options. Include the appliances or circuits you want to keep running and the duration you have in mind, so the survey can assess power as well as storage capacity.

Benefits of Professionally Designed Battery Storage

Use More Solar and Off-Peak Electricity

A correctly sized battery can store surplus solar electricity for later use and, where the tariff and system allow, charge from the grid during selected lower-cost periods. Financial results vary with consumption, tariffs and system settings.

Product-Specific Warranties and Performance

Battery warranties, usable capacity, cycle limits, power and expected service life vary by manufacturer. We set out the applicable product warranty and operating limits in the proposal instead of making one guarantee for every battery.

Optional EPS and Backup Power

Backup power is available only with compatible equipment and a properly designed EPS or backup arrangement. The design must consider changeover, earthing, circuit selection, inverter output and expected battery runtime.

Compatible and Expandable Options

Some systems can be expanded later, while others have product, age or capacity restrictions. We check compatibility with existing solar PV, export limitations and future plans before recommending a scalable solution.

Alan and the team installed and connected our ground mounted PV system and battery. Having the house run off solar is very satisfying and I would recommend it to anyone, as well as Renew-Able Solutions for the instal. Alan's support post installation has been much appreciated as well

Alan and the team did a great job advising and installing the best suited battery and ev charger for us. We are now reaping the benefits of cheap, clean energy. He was on hand to help with any issues with configuring our GivEnergy Battery and Zappi charger making them work optimally with my energy provider. Very responsive. I would thoroughly recommend Renew-Able

We were looking for batteries to complement our pv panels since on sunny days we never used all the electricity generated. We are also on off peak for charging our car. Alan was superb. He explained it all clearly, answered all questions knowledgeably and was very comfortable to deal with. The job was done on time, with no fuss and, very importantly, we felt very comfortable having them in the house. Delighted at the battery performance. It not only worked to store solar but we could choose to charge on very low overnight rates to use in daytime. Our electricity bill literally halved from March (pre install) to April (2023). Professional, courteous and very skilled. Subsequently we decided to augment the system with a second battery and again they were flawless in advice, integrating it into the system and commissioning. Now almost two years on from initial installation it is all still working perfectly. What more could you want?

Frequently Asked Questions

Which battery brands do you install?

Renew-Able Solutions installs battery storage systems from Sigenergy, Tesla, Fox ESS and Eleven Energy. The best option for your property depends on your existing solar and inverter setup, electricity use, tariff strategy, available space, backup requirements and plans for future expansion. We recommend a suitable system following a property-specific survey and design.

Can battery storage be added to an existing solar PV system?

Many existing solar PV systems can be upgraded with a compatible AC-coupled or hybrid battery. Our survey checks the existing inverter, metering, export limits, proposed equipment location, cabling and any Distribution Network Operator requirements before we recommend a design.

How long does a home battery installation take?

The physical installation is often completed in one to two working days, depending on the system and the property. The overall project also includes survey, design, equipment availability and any required Distribution Network Operator process, so we confirm the expected programme for each installation.

Will a home battery keep my property powered during a power cut?

A standard battery installation does not automatically provide backup during a power cut. Backup requires compatible equipment and a properly designed Emergency Power Supply or backup arrangement, including consideration of changeover, earthing, selected circuits, output and expected runtime.

Will I need DNO approval for battery storage?

A grid-connected battery may require notification or approval under G98, G99 or G100, depending on the system configuration, inverter capacity and export arrangement. Renew-Able Solutions manages the relevant Distribution Network Operator process for the proposed installation.

How much does battery storage cost?

The cost depends on the chosen brand, usable battery capacity, inverter or charger requirements, installation and cabling, retrofit compatibility, backup provision and future expansion. We provide a property-specific quotation after survey rather than relying on a generic price.
