Electrical Energy Storage Systems allow excess PV-generated energy to be stored in a battery format. Storing excess PV energy during the day for use at night is the best example of how battery storage completes the renewable energy proposition.
A typical energy user will have periods of low and high demand, which may not coincide with their Solar PV generation. The addition of battery storage can even out this usage curve. During periods of PV generation, the home or business loads will be satisfied first, with any excess being stored in the batteries. If the generation cannot satisfy the demand at peak times, the battery can supplement the load.

A solar PV array generates energy during daylight hours, primarily for home loads. Any surplus energy is efficiently stored in the battery. This stored energy is then available for use during peak demand periods. In this way, your home loads are prioritised in the morning, and the excess energy is accumulated throughout the day. This ensures that the energy generated during the day is available for your evening demand.
Any excess PV energy will be exported to the grid at the point of full battery charge. If you have a smart export guarantee (SEG), you will be paid for every kWh of the energy that you export.
We would need to perform extra work on your behalf to satisfy both the DNO and your FIT provider. However, we make the process very straightforward.
We will design a solution that ensures your existing FIT-registered system remains "stand-alone" and any storage addition is deemed complimentary and separate.
We will design your system to ensure that your existing FIT-registered system remains "stand-alone" and any storage addition is deemed complementary and separate. This will allow you to claim your feed-in tariff payments as before but critically enable you to store the energy that you will be paid to generate for use within your property during peak demand.
The concise answer is yes. We provide storage solutions for existing systems. We can advise and guide you through the decision-making process. We will also ensure that our permissions and planning team handles the application and permissions required from your DNO on your behalf.
A typical PV Solar and battery storage system is grid-tied and designed to operate in parallel with the grid. When the grid goes down, the system will cease to operate, providing much needed safety to the infrastructure. The Cotswold Solar Company designs backup power systems coupled with battery storage to provide uninterrupted access to stored energy during a grid outage. These systems sense any interruption to the grid supply with an uninterrupted switch over to the Solar generation and access to stored energy. Customers have the power to choose how they want to use the system, routing essential circuits through the backup gateway or providing whole-home backup. The ability to provide the back up service is dictated by the duration of the outage and the storage capacity.
We specialise in providing solutions for every budget, offering you the flexibility to design futureproof systems and allowing for upgrades and the addition of battery storage as your budget dictates. The design of your system must allow for these future options. Therefore, you must ensure that any prospective installers understand your requirements and explain the future-proof, upgradable solution they propose. The Cotswold Solar Company have vast experience providing this service. We will design a solution incorporating your current needs and considering your future demands. We will also handle the permissions required from your DNO via our in-house permissions and planning team to ensure you can proceed when budgets allow.
We will use information about your historical usage and peak loads to design a system proportional to your demand. We are certified installation partners for tier 1 manufacturers and their class 1 products. The experience we have gained within the industry allows us to provide products at the forefront of technology for safety and operation. These products are not only guaranteed future-proof but also backwards compatible, ensuring your investment is secure and adaptable to future changes. The expansion process is straightforward, modular, and plug-and-play, allowing you to add additional storage as your demand changes, with the benefit of a fast, unobtrusive upgrade with minimal down time.
Yes you can. Energy suppliers provide a specific battery or EV tariff. The tariff allows you to import cheap off-peak electricity at night for use during the daytime, when the electricity rate is much higher. The Cotswold Solar Company design back up power systems, which are coupled with battery storage to provide uninterupted access to your stored energy at times of a grid outage.
