MG Cavill - Solar Battery Storage Installer
To really get the most from your solar panel installation, we recommend having a solar battery storage solution installed at the same time. This addition will mean that you will be able to store your solar energy throughout the day. You can then use it as and when you need it. Without having this solution installed you'll only be able to consume the energy as it is generated. The knock on effects of this are you'll have a far less cost-efficient system and ultimately a longer time until you cover your initial costs. Our Solar Battery Storage Installer team provide a number of different battery storage solutions and will be happy to advise you on the best solution for your needs.
These include units that work with or without solar installations. One of the most popular units we install is Tesla Powerwall and MG Cavill are a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer.
DID YOU KNOW??
From February 2024, any new batteries fitted (and even retrofitted) are now VAT exempt! The Government scheme previously only covered batteries fitted with PV solar panels. So the price of fitting battery energy storage systems (BESS) is now more affordable than ever before. And it's not just batteries for storage of electricity from solar panels. It covers standalone batteries, wind and water turbines too. Ask our engineers for more details as part of your free no obligation quotation.
Tesla Powerwall
Powerwall gives you the ability to store energy for later use and works with or without solar. Each Powerwall system includes at least one Powerwall and a Backup Gateway, which provides energy monitoring, metering and management for the system. The Backup Gateway learns and adapts to your energy use over time, receives over-the-air updates just like the rest of Tesla's products and is capable of managing up to ten Powerwalls. MG Cavill are a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer. We're based in Andover, Hampshire and cover all the surrounding areas.
With Solar
When the sun rises, solar begins powering the home. When additional power is required within the home, the home can pull from the utility grid.
Powerwall is charged by solar during the day, when solar panels are producing more electricity than the home is consuming. Powerwall then stores that energy until the home needs it, such as when solar is no longer producing at night, or when the utility grid is offline during a power outage.
The next day when the sun comes out, solar recharges Powerwall so you have a cycle of clean, renewable energy.
Without Solar
If your electricity rates vary throughout the day, Powerwall will charge when electricity costs are low and discharge when electricity costs are high, generating automatic savings. Powerwall will also provide backup power by detecting grid outages and automatically becoming the home's main power source.
