Store your own renewable electricity – and use it when you need it
)
Battery storage systems let you capture the electricity generated by your solar PV panels (or bought from the grid at cheaper rates) and store it for later use. This means you can power your home or business even when the sun isn’t shining, reduce your reliance on the grid, and make the most of every unit of energy you pay for or produce.
When paired with a heat pump, battery storage can be a game-changer – allowing you to run your heating and hot water system from stored renewable electricity, further reducing your running costs and carbon footprint.
At IMS, we supply and install high-performance battery storage systems across Scotland, Northern England, and the Midlands. Whether you want to add a battery to an existing solar PV system, install it as part of a new setup, or future-proof your home for changing energy needs, we make it simple and stress-free.
Why choose Battery Storage?
Maximise your solar investment - Store surplus electricity from your solar PV system to use in the evenings, at night, or on cloudy days – increasing your self-consumption and reducing the amount you buy from the grid.
Cut your energy bills - Draw on stored energy instead of paying peak-time electricity rates. Some battery systems even allow you to charge from the grid at cheaper off-peak times and use the stored power later. Spend less, save more, and take control of your energy usage.
Protect yourself from power cuts - Certain battery systems can provide backup power in the event of a grid outage, keeping essential appliances running. Peace of mind, whatever the weather.
Reduce your carbon footprint - Using more of your own renewable energy means less demand on fossil-fuel-powered grid electricity – helping to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Flexible installation options - Batteries can be installed alongside new solar PV systems or retrofitted to most existing setups. We’ll recommend the right size and specification for your property, usage patterns, and budget.
