What solar battery storage does

Who should get a battery?

Homes with daytime generation and evening usage

Homes with daytime generation and evening usage

If your household uses more electricity in the evening, solar battery storage allows you to store energy generated during the day and use it when it matters most. Many customers working with domestic solar panel installers choose to include battery storage for this reason.

Businesses with variable energy demand

Businesses with variable energy demand

For commercial sites, battery storage can help manage peaks in energy usage and reduce reliance on grid electricity during higher-cost periods. It is often considered alongside commercial solar panel installation to improve overall system performance.

I’ve just had solar battery storage added to my solar PV system, which I have had for several years. I would definitely recommend Orton and Wenlock. The whole process from enquiry to installation was smooth and professional, all my questions were answered, the quote was competitive, the installation quick with no mess left behind. Will be using again. 🙂

Excellent diagnostics on an issue last year and solved the problem. Plus we just had batteries installed to our panels and we couldn't be happier with the attention to detail and professional service the team gave, highly recommended.

Orton & Wenlock have saved the day again for us. Our aging vulnerable uncle was without electricity suddenly, and they worked it out quickly so that he was immediately safe, and then they managed to come within the week, rearranging schedules to fix the problem. I can't recommend them enough. They care about their work and their customers.

Orton & Wenlock has recently completed a 10.75kWh solar PV array with 7.5kWh battery system. From the outset, Steve Hayward, their business development manager was very knowledgeable, and supported us in the planning and installation phases of this project. The install team headed by Conor was very professional and courteous and liaised with me on all aspects of the build. I have no hesitation in recommending them as a preferred supplier of Solar PV systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a solar installation take

If solar battery storage is installed alongside solar panels, most systems are completed within two to three days. For retrofit battery installations, timelines may be shorter depending on system setup.

Can solar be purchased on finance

Finance options are available through third-party lenders, allowing you to include solar battery storage as part of your overall investment and spread the cost over time.

Do solar panels add value to the price of a house

Solar systems, particularly when combined with battery storage, can improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs, making properties more attractive to potential buyers. You can read more at the Energy Saving Trust.

How long does it take before solar panels make money

Battery storage enhances the financial performance of a solar system by increasing the amount of energy you use yourself. This improves overall savings over time rather than changing the fundamental payback model.

Do you provide commercial installations

Yes. We design and deliver commercial solar and battery storage systems tailored to business energy usage, helping reduce operational costs and improve long-term efficiency.
