EESS - Electrical Energy Storage System

Also referred to as an Electrical Battery, Home battery, PV storage system.

An EESS, or Electrical Energy Storage System, is a device that stores electrical energy for later use. It allows you to capture and save excess electricity generated from sources like solar panels or the grid during off-peak hours. This stored energy can then be used to power your home or business when needed, reducing reliance on the grid and saving on energy costs.

EESS offers several advantages, including:

• Increased energy independence: Reduce reliance on the grid and gain greater control over your energy supply.

• Cost savings: Utilize stored energy during peak demand periods to lower electricity bills.

• Improved energy efficiency: Maximize the use of renewable energy sources like solar power by storing excess generation for later use.

• Enhanced sustainability: Reduce your carbon footprint by utilizing cleaner energy sources and decreasing reliance on fossil fuels.

• Backup power supply: Provide a reliable backup power source during grid outages, ensuring continuity for critical appliances and devices.

Common types of EESS available in the UK include:

• Lithium-ion batteries: Known for their high energy density, efficiency, and long lifespan. They are widely used in residential and commercial EESS applications.

• Lead-acid batteries: A more traditional and cost-effective option, often used in smaller-scale EESS installations.

• Flow batteries: Suitable for larger-scale energy storage applications due to their scalability and long cycle life.

Choosing the right EESS depends on several factors, including your energy consumption needs, budget, available space, and desired level of backup power. Our experienced engineers can assess your requirements and recommend the most suitable EESS solution for your specific needs.

Our skilled technicians will conduct a thorough assessment of your property's electrical system, available space, and energy consumption patterns to determine the feasibility of an EESS installation. We will ensure the installation meets all safety and regulatory standards.

The lifespan of an EESS varies depending on the technology, usage patterns, and maintenance. Lithium-ion batteries generally have a longer lifespan than lead-acid batteries. Our team can provide estimated lifespan information for different EESS options and advise on proper maintenance to maximize their longevity.

Government incentives and grants for EESS installations in the UK may vary depending on specific programs and eligibility criteria. Our team can provide up-to-date information on available incentives and assist with the application process if needed.

The cost of EESS installation varies based on factors like system capacity, battery technology, installation complexity, and any necessary electrical upgrades. We offer customised solutions and transparent pricing to suit different budgets and requirements.

EESS installations in the UK must comply with electrical safety regulations and grid connection standards. Our installations adhere to all relevant regulations, ensuring your EESS is safe, compliant, and optimized for performance.
