Evergreen Renewables provides expert MCS-certified installation of battery storage systems to maximise your solar energy use.
For homeowners adding a battery to existing systems, installing new solar PV panels, or using as a standalone unit, our services are designed to help reduce reliance on the grid and lower energy bills.
Types of installations available
As part of a new solar PV and battery installation
If you are considering installing a solar PV system, then adding a battery will increase the amount of self-generated power that you can use. You can also take advantage of smart tariffs or time-of-use tariffs, about which more details can be found below.
We are accredited installers of:
As an addition to an existing solar PV system
If you already own a solar PV system, known as a retro-fit battery storage installation, then you know the advantages and the savings that can be made. By adding a battery, you can save even more by storing self-generated power that would otherwise have been lost to the grid and use it later. You can also take advantage of smart and time-of-use tariffs.
As a stand-alone unit
A battery can be installed without a connection to a solar PV system. For this to work, you would need to be on a smart tariff/time-of-use tariffs:
Smart/time-of-use tariffs
Smart or time-of-use tariffs are a game changer that can drastically reduce your reliance on the grid and reduce energy bills. These tariffs allow you to charge your battery from the grid at times of cheaper power, and then use that power when electricity is more expensive. Some tariffs pay you to discharge power to the grid. You can find out more at the Energy Trust Website here: time-of-use tariffs
Battery backup
We’re often asked about battery backup. In the event of a power outage, the electrical systems switch over to the battery to maintain a power supply to the property. Not all battery systems offer this feature, and there are different levels of battery backup.
There is ‘whole-home backup’ which, as the name suggests, allows all circuits to be maintained and fed from the battery storage system. 'Partial backup' systems allow a few selected circuits to be maintained – such as the boiler and a downstairs lighting and socket circuit.
The third option is a separate and dedicated twin socket which only becomes live during power outages. It’s important to remember that you only have use of the power that is stored in the battery at the time of the power cut, so you may need to use this wisely to extend this benefit.
Whole-home backup systems also allow the solar PV system to continue generating, so this could extend the amount of time you have power during an outage.
Evergreen has been installing battery storage systems since 2017 and was the first company in the country to gain MCS-registered status for this technology.
We are MCS Certified
MCS is a mark of quality. Using an MCS-certified installer ensures that equipment meets good standards of performance and that installers are technically safe and competent. MCS-certified Installers have undergone a rigorous vetting process to demonstrate that they adhere to MCS Standards.
