Install with a solar system or as a standalone saver!
Save on energy costs, even without solar panels
Did you know you can still save a lot on your energy bills with battery storage, even if you don’t have a solar system installed?
Battery storage allows you to make the most of low-cost electricity during off-peak hours and use it when rates are higher.
By adding a battery storage system, you can store energy from the grid when it's cheapest and use it whenever you need it. That way, you’re always buying power at the best price and getting the most out of every kilowatt.
In South Wales, the average household uses significantly more energy during peak times like 8 pm compared to the early hours of the morning, around 4 am. With a battery, you can buy cheaper energy at 4 am—even if you're fast asleep!
Typically, energy is much cheaper at night when demand is low. A battery lets you store this low-cost energy overnight and use it throughout the day to keep your bills down.
Be the envy of your street during a power outage
Next time there’s a power cut, imagine sitting comfortably with a hot cup of tea while your neighbours scramble to find their torches and candles!
With battery storage from Nightingale Electrical Ltd, you can be self-sufficient and less reliant on the national grid's inconsistencies. While power cuts may be rare here in South Wales, they can still cause significant disruption when they happen.
Whether you’re on an important video call, watching the Cardiff vs Swansea, or just trying to keep your food from spoiling in the fridge, a power outage can be a real headache. With a battery storage system, you’ll always be prepared for those unexpected moments.
Moving home soon? Take the battery with you!
Planning to move within South Wales or to the Bristol area? Taking your solar panels with you can be a bit of a challenge—it involves costs and coordination to remove and reinstall everything.
But moving a battery? That’s much simpler. It’s easy to relocate from one property to another.
At Nightingale Electrical Ltd, we often suggest that customers who are planning a move start with a battery installation. This way, you can begin enjoying the savings right away in your current home and add solar panels later once you’re settled into your new place.
That way, you get the best of both worlds—immediate benefits from the battery and long-term savings from solar power!
0% VAT on Battery Storage installations until 2027
There’s no better time to invest in battery storage for your home in South Wales or the Bristol area. The UK government wants more households to switch to this innovative technology and is offering some fantastic incentives to help you make the leap.
One of the best perks? No VAT on battery storage installations until 2027. That’s 0% VAT whether you’re installing a new battery system, expanding an existing one, or adding a battery to your solar setup. It’s a great saving, making it easier to future-proof your home’s energy use.
And don’t forget, this VAT relief also applies if you’re retrofitting a battery to an existing solar system. So, if you’ve already invested in solar panels and want to add or upgrade your battery storage, you can do so without worrying about extra tax costs.
Barney Nightingale and the team at Nightingale Electrical Ltd are here to help you understand and make the most of these government incentives, ensuring you get the best value for your investment. It’s all about making your move to greener, more efficient energy as smooth and affordable as possible.

FORECASTED RETURN ON INVESTMENT
How much can I save?
View the system cost, the quoted savings projections and the actual savings so far from one of our real case studies.
Our forecasts are for informational purposes only and based on typical energy cost projections and solar production metrics. The estimates provided assume an installed capacity of 7.98 kWp, split across three separate arrays, with an estimated annual output of 7,280 kWh. These projections are calculated using a shade factor of 1.00, indicating minimal to no shading impact, and a site-specific correction factor considering geographical location, panel orientation, and inclination. Additionally, an inflation rate of 2% and a discount rate of 4% have been used to model the long-term financial performance of the system. These figures are based on current industry standards and methodologies; however, actual savings and breakeven points will vary due to potential changes in energy prices, system performance, and site-specific conditions. While we strive to ensure reliable and transparent forecasts using conservative assumptions, this information should not be considered as a guarantee or as financial advice.
