Battery Storage Retrofits in Ely

Many Ely homeowners with existing solar panels are missing out on the full financial benefit because surplus energy is exported to the grid at low rates. Adding a battery storage retrofit lets you capture that surplus and use it in the evenings and overnight. We assess your existing inverter, consumer unit and generation data before recommending the most suitable battery system — whether that's an AC-coupled retrofit or a hybrid inverter replacement.

We are NAPIT registered and TrustMark endorsed — covering Ely and the wider Cambridgeshire area. Every installation comes with full documentation, certification and our workmanship guarantee.

Common Questions

Battery Retrofits FAQs
for Ely

How much does a battery retrofit cost in Ely?+
Battery retrofits in Ely start from £3,995 for a 5kWh system. A 10kWh retrofit typically costs £5,995–£8,495 and a 15kWh+ system from £8,995. The exact price depends on your existing inverter, the battery chosen and the installation complexity.
Can any solar system have a battery added in Ely?+
Most solar systems can have battery storage added. The approach depends on your existing inverter — some can be DC-coupled, others require an AC-coupled battery. Some very old inverters may benefit from replacement with a hybrid unit at the same time. We assess compatibility at the survey stage.
Will a battery retrofit in Ely increase my self-consumption?+
Yes, significantly. A typical solar installation without storage exports a large proportion of generated electricity to the grid. Adding a battery typically increases self-consumption from around 30–40% to 70–90%, depending on your household's energy use pattern.
Does a battery retrofit qualify for 0% VAT in Ely?+
Battery storage retrofitted to an existing solar system qualifies for 0% VAT. Standalone battery storage without solar is subject to standard 20% VAT. We confirm the applicable VAT rate at the survey stage.
Which battery brands do you retrofit in Ely?+
We retrofit Fox ESS, Tesla Powerwall 3 and SolaX batteries in Ely. We recommend the most suitable system based on your existing installation and energy requirements.
