The government has extended VAT relief to battery storage for homeowners in the UK. Starting from February 1st 2024, tax relief will now cover standalone and retrofitted battery storage for PV solar systems — and not just batteries installed concurrently with solar panels. This revised initiative aims to make sustainable energy solutions more financially accessible.
With this new initiative, customers have the chance to save money on already competitively priced battery storage systems. With prices starting at £3,195, there’s never been a better time to invest in renewable energy solutions. For existing solar PV customers, tax relief on battery storage means savings on both the initial outlay of the installation and the significant economic advantages of storing solar energy.
If you don’t already own a solar PV set-up, there’s still the chance to save money by utilising cheaper overnight tariffs by charging your battery off the grid. Whichever option you choose, the financial incentives are clear:

Battery storage systems are the most effective means of harnessing solar energy. By storing surplus energy generated during peak sunlight hours, these systems allow users to take advantage of solar power even when the sun isn't shining, effectively minimising waste and enhancing the utility of solar installations.
Adopting battery storage solutions enables homeowners to avoid high electricity costs during peak demand times by utilising stored energy, thus leading to significant savings on energy bills. By charging batteries during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper, users can further reduce energy costs. Meanwhile, battery storage provides a reliable backup power source, ensuring energy security in the event of grid outages.
The shift towards battery storage is a crucial element in the global transition to renewable energy sources. By optimising the use of solar energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, battery storage contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions, aligning with national and global objectives for a sustainable future.
