Store surplus solar for evening use, improve energy independence, and keep power for essential circuits during outages with compatible systems. BlankSolar installs and commissions batteries to manufacturer standards.
Battery & gridBattery storage installation
Battery storage lets you keep surplus solar for evening use instead of exporting it immediately. BlankSolar installs wall and floor-mounted units from trusted partners — including Fox ESS and GivEnergy — as part of a new solar system or alongside existing PV where compatible.
We size kWh capacity to your generation and load, install isolators and cabling to current regulations, and configure charge schedules, export limits, and backup modes where the hardware supports them.
Handover includes app setup and practical advice on tariffs and self-consumption — without promising savings we cannot verify.
- New solar + battery or retrofit options
- Manufacturer-approved installation methods
- Ventilation and location per spec
- App monitoring demonstrated at handover

Batteries store surplus day-time generation for evening use, reduce grid imports, and can support backup circuits on compatible models. We size kWh to your actual load — not oversell capacity you will not use.
Fox ESS & GivEnergy
We install brands we know well from our partner range — with app monitoring, warranty registration, and clear capacity labelling.
Wall or floor mount
Indoor garage, utility, or plant room installs with ventilation clearances met. Outdoor-rated units are positioned per manufacturer rules.

New solar + battery or retrofit to existing PV.
Sizing
kWh capacity is matched to your generation and evening load. Oversizing is avoided unless you plan high future use.

Battery storage for UK homes
A battery lets you keep solar generation for the evening instead of exporting it straight away. Here is when it helps, and what installation involves.
Export
Smart Export Guarantee, explained
The Smart Export Guarantee pays you for surplus electricity you send to the grid. Here is how it works, and why the paperwork from your installer matters.
System size
Choosing a solar system size
BlankSolar installs packages from 2kW to 6kW, and larger systems where the roof and supply allow it. Size should follow the property, not a default package.
