Battery Storage FAQs
I’ve already got solar panels installed. Is it easy to add battery storage?
Yes. Adding an InstaGen battery to an existing solar PV system is usually quick and straightforward and can often be completed in a single day.
Do I need planning permission?
No. A battery-only installation does not need planning permission.
Is a battery-only solution worth it?
Battery storage has the potential to save you £100s every year on energy bills. It’s ideal if your property or roof isn’t suitable for solar, you live in a conservation area, or if you aren’t yet ready to install solar panels.
A battery installation is around half the cost of solar. No enabling works are needed, no roofers, and no expensive scaffolding.
How soon can a storage battery pay for itself?
A battery installation can pay for itself in as little as 7-9 years3.
How long does it take to install a battery in your home?
Installation is usually completed in a matter of hours – including Wi-Fi set-up.
What makes InstaGen different?
The InstaGen battery has a typically longer life than others available on the market.
A further advantage is the compact InstaGen battery design, which makes it suitably sized for most homes. The modular system also means you can add more battery storage as needed, or take the battery with you if you move house.

1Through the government Smart Export Guarantee. The value of SEG payments will depend on your energy provider, tariff, where you live, and your energy use. As of August 2024, it’s around 22-35p for every kWh (kilowatt-hour.)
2Daytime (from 8am to 10pm) electricity rates are usually at their peak. Off-peak rates at night (typically 10pm to 8am) are cheaper due to lower demand. See www.moneysupermarket.com/gas-and-electricity/is-electricity-cheaper-at-night
Not all energy suppliers have ‘time-of-use’ tariffs. Savings will depend on your energy supplier, tariff, energy usage, and your property. Ask us for guidance.
