Power cuts, evening demand and unused daytime solar can call for different storage solutions. Tell us what you want to keep running, when you need it and whether you already have solar. We will check your requirements and look for a relevant independent provider to assess the site.
A battery stores electricity for later, but the right system depends on the problem you are trying to solve. A home that needs lights, fans and a refrigerator through an outage has a different brief from a factory managing short demand peaks. The first conversation should cover your priorities, daily usage, outage history and existing electrical setup.
SolarQuery helps turn that conversation into a clear service enquiry. A suitable provider can assess whether storage is practical, explain the integration work and prepare an itemised proposal. You choose the provider and agree the project directly with them. A battery is not automatically a whole-building backup solution, and the financial case should be checked against your actual usage and tariff.
Choose the work you need, then agree the exact responsibilities with your provider.
List the appliances or processes that matter most, their operating hours and the interruptions you can tolerate. Ask the provider to separate essential loads from optional loads before recommending battery capacity or a backup arrangement.
The design should identify usable energy, output power, charge sources and the equipment needed to control them. Request a simple explanation of what the proposed system can support during ordinary operation and an outage.
Already have panels? A specialist can check your inverter, electrical drawings and operating history before selecting a compatible storage connection. The proposal should explain which equipment stays, which changes and any effect on existing warranties.
Agree the location, access arrangements, protection equipment and commissioning checks before work starts. The provider should demonstrate the approved operating modes, supply handover records and explain who to contact when the system needs attention.
For commercial sites, share interval consumption data where available. Ask for an assessment of daytime generation, evening use, peak demand and diesel operation, with each proposed benefit tied to a measurable operating requirement.
Discuss monitoring, scheduled inspections, software support and response arrangements as part of the original scope. Keep maintenance responsibilities and warranty contacts clear so a later issue does not become a dispute between multiple suppliers.
Tell us the location and the work required. Our team can help turn it into a clear enquiry.
A useful proposal connects the work, the site conditions and the responsibilities in writing.
Battery capacity, measured in kWh, describes stored energy. Output power, measured in kW, affects what can run at the same time. Ask the provider to show both usable capacity and supported loads, including equipment that needs extra starting power.
Do not assume an ordinary grid-connected solar installation will work during a power cut. Ask for a written backup scope covering selected circuits, changeover behaviour, operating limits and whether solar charging remains available when the grid is unavailable.
Have the installer assess heat, moisture, ventilation, access and the manufacturer’s location requirements. For larger systems, request an explanation of thermal and fire protection, emergency access and operating procedures. Battery enclosures should only be serviced by appropriately qualified personnel.
Review installation, control equipment, maintenance, replacement assumptions and warranty conditions together. If a proposal promises savings, ask how tariffs, battery ageing and energy losses were handled. Keep backup value separate from any projected reduction in the electricity bill.
A useful battery storage quotation starts with your load profile, not just a price per battery. Ask for equipment, design, installation, controls, commissioning and support to be shown separately. Compare proposals that provide the same backup scope and usable capacity; a cheaper headline price may cover a different job.
Share the service, project PIN code and a short description. You can say you are unsure about the technical details.
Our team follows up to understand the site and collect the information needed for a relevant provider enquiry.
We check for relevant local providers. If an introduction is possible, you compare the proposal and decide whether to proceed.
You do not need a finished specification. A few details help our team understand the job and check for suitable providers in your area.
Free to enquire. You choose whether to accept a provider’s proposal. Project scope, contracts and payments are agreed directly with your chosen provider.

Often this can be assessed without replacing the whole installation, but compatibility is not automatic. Share the inverter model and system documents. A provider should compare suitable integration options, explain changes to controls and protection, and confirm how the proposed arrangement affects warranties and grid permissions.
Only if the system is designed for the required loads and duration. Many installations support selected essential circuits. Ask for a list of supported appliances, simultaneous-load limits and expected runtime under stated conditions. A storage system is also not automatically an uninterrupted power supply for sensitive equipment.
It depends on the power your selected loads draw and how long they must operate. A provider should also consider starting loads, usable battery capacity and the intended reserve. Give them a practical priority list rather than asking them to match the battery size to panel capacity alone.
No single answer fits every property. Storage may be useful for resilience or better use of solar, but those benefits do not guarantee a short payback. Request a comparison using your consumption pattern, applicable tariff, operating assumptions and full installed cost before deciding whether to proceed.
Your selected independent provider is responsible for its agreed design, installation and support scope. SolarQuery connects customers with relevant providers after checking the enquiry; we do not install equipment or collect the project payment. Local availability and the final technical solution must be confirmed before work is agreed.
If your project crosses more than one category, tell us in your enquiry. You do not need to start again for every requirement.
