Battery storage

Battery Storage in Motherwell

Store surplus solar electricity or cheap off-peak grid energy and use it when you need it. A battery helps you use more of what you generate and rely less on the grid.

Add a battery to new or existing solar

A battery works whether or not you already have solar panels. Paired with solar, it stores the surplus you generate during the day for use in the evening or overnight. Without solar, it can charge on a cheap overnight tariff and discharge during peak hours. For homes in Motherwell, a battery is particularly useful across the long summer days when a solar array may produce more than the household uses, storing that surplus for the darker winter months and evenings.

Is a battery right for your Motherwell home?

A battery tends to make the most sense if you already have solar, if you are on a time-of-use tariff, or if you are rarely home during the day to use your solar generation directly. With solar, store surplus generation and use it in the evening or overnight instead of buying from the grid. Without solar, charge on a cheap overnight tariff and discharge during peak periods. Most existing solar PV systems in Motherwell can have a battery added with minimal disruption.

Built for Motherwell

Local roofs, local rules

A former steel town of Victorian sandstone tenements and terraces near the centre, surrounded by large 20th-century council and private estates in areas such as Muirhouse, Forgewood and Knowetop. Ravenscraig, on the former steelworks site, is being built out as a new town of modern private homes.

At around 55.8°N in the Clyde valley, Motherwell has a strongly seasonal solar year with long summer days. Its new-build estates and the open former industrial land at Ravenscraig are well suited to rooftop and commercial arrays.

Solar on most homes is permitted development in Scotland; listed buildings and conservation areas need consent — check with North Lanarkshire Council.
