Battery Storage Installation
Nightingale Energy offers comprehensive and effective solar battery storage installation services across a range of sectors and building types. These installations help you to save money in the long run, as well as having a serious positive impact on the environment.
Solar panel battery storage is what captures the excess energy generated by your solar panel system (using solar inverter technology), for it to then be used at a later time. On current energy tariffs, you are able to take advantage by force charging your battery storage at night on a cheaper tariff and then using it during the day.
Benefits of solar battery storage
Solar battery storage allows users to store excess electricity generated during the day and use it when sunlight is unavailable. This improves energy use and reduces dependency on the national grid:
- Cost efficiency - Storing surplus power for use during peak tariff periods can reduce electricity bills and protect against rising energy prices.
- Energy independence - Battery storage facilitates increased energy self-sufficiency, relying less on the grid, and even maintaining energy access during outage periods.
- Environmental impact - Stored solar energy reduces your reliance on fossil fuels, allowing you to decrease your carbon footprint and do your bit for the environment, whilst saving money.
- Grid support - Solar batteries support the local grid by balancing supply and demand, reducing pressure on infrastructure and supporting your local community.
- Efficiency and performance - Most modern lithium-ion batteries are exceptionally efficient and have long lifespans (especially with solar panel maintenance), as well as minimising waste from unused solar energy production.

How much does battery storage installation cost?
Battery storage installation costs vary depending on the system size, battery type and installation complexity. In the UK, most homeowners can expect to pay between £3,000 and £10,000 for a complete system, including equipment and labour.
Smaller systems of around 4–5kWh often cost £2,500–£4,000, while larger 10kWh batteries can reach £7,000–£9,500.
Costs rise if the battery is retrofitted to an existing solar array rather than installed alongside new panels.
Is battery storage worth it?
Battery storage is usually worth it, particularly if you want to do your bit for the environment, as well as saving some money in the long run.
Battery storage offers lower energy bills by storing excess energy for use when the sun isn’t shining, and your solar panels aren’t producing enough energy to power your home or building. This reduces your reliance on the grid, therefore saving on energy costs.
For combined solar and battery systems, the upfront costs are usually cancelled out over time through energy savings and even selling energy back to the grid on occasion. Over long periods of time, net-savings can become quite substantial.
