Solar Battery Storage in North Wales & Chester

We install solar battery storage across North Wales, Chester and the Wirral, for homes having new solar panels fitted and for homes adding a battery to an existing system. Whether you want to cut your energy bills or use more of the power your panels make, a battery lets you keep the daytime surplus for the evening.

A battery for a solar panel system is a device that stores excess energy generated by solar panels during the day and releases it when needed, such as at night or on cloudy days. This allows for greater energy independence, and can help reduce electricity bills.

The benefits of using a battery with solar panels

Overall, using a battery with solar panels can help you maximise the benefits of solar energy, and provide a more reliable and sustainable energy source for your home or business.

Using a battery with solar panels can offer several benefits, including:

Energy storage
Increased energy independence
Backup power
Reduced carbon footprint
Improved system efficiency
Increased flexibility

Produce Your Own Clean Energy & Help
Save The Environment

Gain Greater Control Over Your Power

With battery storage, you decide when and how to use your energy. Storing excess solar power gives you more independence from the grid, shields you from rising energy costs, and supports your move toward a low-carbon lifestyle.

Support a Cleaner, Greener Future

Battery storage helps make the most of your solar energy, reducing the need to draw electricity from fossil fuel-based sources. By storing and using clean power more efficiently, you can significantly cut your carbon footprint and strengthen your commitment to sustainability.

A battery to suit your needs

It is important that the battery you choose for your solar system is reliable and fit for purpose. A battery that is too small will not serve you. Ideally, a battery should be big enough to store energy to get your home through a 24-hour period. Usually a 9-10kWh battery will suffice (depending on usage and other factors).

HSB Renewables supply and fit a range of dependable batteries to suit every budget. The systems we fit most often are:

Sigenergy SigenStor - our most popular system, an all-in-one battery, inverter and EV charger
FoxESS - capable, great-value modular storage
Fogstar with Victron - our budget-friendly, high-capacity combination
Tesla Powerwall
Victron

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lee and his team Josh and Joe did 2 installations for me. 2 x9.5kw GivEnergy battery system to go with my existing solar array. Then a month later a new 3.3kw solar system. From start to finish all three provided a great service. The combined 2 systems are working far better than I ever expected. I can highly reccomend HSB.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HSB Renewables were amazing. They sorted me out for Solar Panels, a Battery Storage system (GivEnergy) and spoke to me like a human being. They even went the extra mile and gave me some advice combining it all in with Home Assistant.

Absolute top quality.

Thank you Lee and Team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I asked Lee to install an additional battery at my property, in truth I don’t know why I bothered because I’ve been let down by him before (I guess his promised prices were the Draw!). He eventually managed to attend my property and after a quick survey said he would be in touch. I wasn’t holding my breath (because of his past antics in letting me down), and it’s just as well I didn’t hold my breath because this was back in October (it’s now March) and guess what! He’s not been in touch!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted three installers for quotes and home visits and decided to go for HSB Renewable Energy Ltd. I am so glad that we chose them to install our PV panels, Battery, Inverter with EPS. The whole team were excellent from start to finish. Josh and Joe did a very professional installation, commissioning and hand-over job. Nothing was too much trouble. They were extremely tidy, friendly and knowledgeable. What more can you ask for! We would highly recommend them, they were excellent!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our 4kw PV system installed 12 years ago and decided that it was time to consider a battery storage system, we contacted two accredited companies and HSB Renewable Energy Company gave an immediate response with a written quote and a home survey.
We wanted to locate the battery outside our house under a canopy and we didn’t want to lose our FIT payment. Following the survey and Lee’s clear explanation, we were confident that HSB Renewable Energy Company would be able to meet our needs.
On the day of the installation Josh and Joe arrived at the agreed time, Josh, the electrician, discussed the installation and we were all very clear as to where the battery and inverter would be situated, how the cables would be routed and where the consumer unit would be located. They were considerate and tidy workers.
The battery was commissioned and the app was explained to us. I received an email with the Building Compliance Certificate before they left.
Throughout the whole process everything was handled professionally, proficiently and met our requirements.
Two weeks later: All is working well. When our solar panels make more energy than our home requires the excess solar charges up the battery. We are on economy seven so during these darker, shorter winter days we charge our 9.5 kw battery up at night on cheaper rate electricity and access the cheaper energy from the battery during the day.
We have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Frequently Asked Questions

Determining the right battery size for your solar panel system depends on several factors, including your energy needs, the size of your solar panel system, and your location. Here are some steps you can take to determine the right battery size:

1. Determine your daily energy usage: Start by calculating your daily energy usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh). This will give you an idea of how much energy you need to store in a battery to meet your needs.

2. Determine the size of your solar panel system: The size of your solar panel system will also impact the size of the battery you need. A larger system will generate more energy, which will require a larger battery to store the excess energy.

3. Consider your location and climate: The amount of sunlight your solar panels receive each day will vary depending on your location and climate. You'll need to factor this into your calculations to determine how much energy your solar panels can generate and how much energy you'll need to store in a battery.

4. Choose a battery type: There are several types of batteries available, each with different storage capacities, lifespans, and costs. Choose a battery type that meets your needs and budget.

5. Consult with a professional: It's always a good idea to consult with a professional to determine the right battery size for your specific situation. They can help you assess your energy needs, the size of your solar panel system, and other factors to choose a battery that will meet your needs.

By taking these steps, you can determine the right battery size for your solar panel system and ensure that you have enough energy storage to meet your needs.

Most modern home batteries use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells, which typically carry a 10-year warranty and are expected to last 10 to 15 years. How long yours lasts depends on the battery chemistry, how often it charges and discharges, and where it is installed. A garage or utility room that stays above freezing is kinder to a battery than an exposed outside wall.

Yes, it is possible to install a battery for an existing solar panel system. However, compatibility and installation issues can arise, so it's important to work with a qualified and experienced installer to ensure that the battery is installed safely and efficiently.

We regularly fit batteries to existing systems, either AC coupled alongside your current inverter or DC coupled with a new hybrid inverter. Our guide to adding a battery to existing solar panels explains both options.

The saving depends on how much electricity you use, when you use it, the size of your solar system and your tariff.

Without a battery, a typical home uses around half of what its panels generate and exports the rest. A battery lets you use most of that surplus in the evening instead of buying power back from the grid. On a time-of-use tariff it can also charge overnight at a cheaper rate and run the house through the expensive peak hours.

Anything you still export can earn money through the Smart Export Guarantee. The Feed-in Tariff and the Renewable Heat Incentive are both closed to new applicants, so they do not apply to new systems.

We work out the likely saving for your home during the free survey, based on your actual usage.

Finding a supplier and installer for your battery can be a straightforward process. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Research local suppliers and installers: Start by researching local suppliers and installers that specialise in solar panel systems and batteries. You can search online or ask for recommendations from friends, family, or local business organisations.

2. Check reviews and ratings: Once you've identified a few potential suppliers and installers, check their online reviews and ratings to see what other customers have to say about their services.

3. Compare quotes and services: Reach out to each supplier and installer and request a quote for your specific battery and system needs. Make sure to compare not only the cost but also the services offered, such as warranties, maintenance, and customer support.

4. Ask for references: Before making a final decision, ask each supplier and installer for references from previous customers. Contact these references to get a better sense of the provider's reliability, quality of work, and customer service.

5. Choose a provider: Once you've evaluated your options, choose the provider that best meets your needs and budget. Make sure to read and understand the terms of the contract before signing.

By following these steps, you can find a reliable and experienced supplier and installer for your battery and solar panel system, and ensure that your investment is well-protected and performs as expected.

Choosing the right battery for your solar panel system depends on several factors, including your energy needs, the size of your solar panel system, your location, and your budget. It's important to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each type of battery and to consult with a professional to determine the best fit for your specific situation.
