Solar Battery Storage enquiries

Battery storage enquiries for new or existing solar systems, subject to compatibility, siting and safety review.

Battery storage can be considered with a new or existing PV system. The useful size, location and electrical arrangement depend on how the site uses energy and what equipment is already present.

Start your solar enquiry

Your brief

Useful details to have ready

  • List existing PV panels, inverter, battery or monitoring equipment and the aim, such as shifting solar use into the evening or backup capability.
  • Describe available space for the battery and any access or temperature constraints without selecting a location as safe yourself.
  • Ask the installer to explain compatibility, usable capacity, control settings, protection and handover.
  • The job postcode and when you would like the work done

You can start without every answer. Only take photos where it is safe to do so; do not climb onto a roof for an enquiry.

One brief, a clear next step

  1. Tell us about the job. Your draft is saved in this browser as you go.
  2. Review before sending. Edit the details and confirm the enquiry. Your completion link keeps later answers with the same case.
  3. Find a suitable supplier. Beffer checks service fit and coverage. Availability, a quote and any site visit must be confirmed by the supplier.

What a survey should resolve

  • Will the proposed battery work with the existing inverter and electrical installation?
  • What siting, fire, ventilation, isolation and network requirements apply?
  • Is backup operation included, and if so which circuits and what limitations apply?

Cost factors and exclusions

  • Battery and inverter choice, wiring, switchgear, electrical upgrades, installation location and monitoring affect the proposal.
  • Ask whether backup equipment, future expansion, commissioning, warranties and disposal at end of life are included.

Before you enquire

Will any battery work with my panels?

No. The existing inverter, wiring and control system need compatibility checks before a battery is selected.

Will a battery keep the whole building running in a power cut?

Do not assume so. Backup needs to be designed and specified, including which circuits it serves and for how long under stated conditions.

Does an enquiry commit me to the work?

No. Submitting an enquiry starts the discussion. Check the supplier's scope, price, exclusions and terms before accepting a quote.
