Frequently asked questions
Last reviewed: October 2026
What is home battery storage?
Home battery storage is a wall-mounted unit that stores electricity so you can use it later. It can capture spare solar power during the day, or charge from the grid when electricity is cheaper, then supply your home in the evening. A battery works with or without solar panels and is managed through a simple app.
Is battery storage worth it in Scotland?
Battery storage can be worthwhile in Scotland because it makes better use of the electricity you generate or buy. Darker winter evenings mean many homes rely on the grid at busy times, and a battery helps cover that demand. Its value depends on your usage, tariff and any existing solar, which your free survey reviews.
How does the free battery survey work?
Your free, no-obligation battery survey looks at how and when your household uses electricity. We check your consumer unit, any existing solar system and a suitable location for the battery and inverter. You then receive a recommended battery size and a clear written quote, with time to ask questions before deciding anything at all.
What happens on battery installation day?
On installation day, we install through MCS-certified partners who mount the battery and inverter in the agreed spot, often a garage, utility room or outside wall. An electrician connects everything to your consumer unit, tests the system and sets up the app. Your power is only off briefly while the final connection is made.
Is finance available for battery storage?
Yes. Loans available, subject to status, so you can spread the cost of a home battery instead of paying in one go. Your adviser explains the options during your free survey, and any finance is arranged through authorised lenders. You can compare finance with paying outright before choosing, and there is no obligation to proceed.
