Common questions
Can a battery storage installer add storage to my existing solar system?
Yes. Most modern batteries can be AC-coupled to any existing solar inverter, regardless of brand or age. Your installer will check your current system and recommend the right battery and coupling method. AC coupling is simpler and more flexible than DC coupling for retrofit installations.
Do I need planning permission for a home battery?
No planning permission is required for a domestic battery storage system installed indoors or in a garage. Outdoor batteries (sometimes used for larger systems) may need to meet building regulations for fire separation but rarely require formal planning approval.
How long does a home battery installation take?
A standard home battery installation takes 4–8 hours for a qualified electrician. Adding battery storage to an existing solar system typically takes half a day. New solar-plus-battery installations usually take 1–2 days combined.
