Get more from your solar panels, store the energy you generate and use it when you need it most

Whether you already have solar panels or are planning a new installation, battery storage adds a new level of flexibility and savings to your energy system.

At AKA Mechanical, we design and install battery storage solutions that help homes and businesses across Devon use more of their own electricity, lower their energy bills and get greater value from their renewable setup.


What We Offer

Our battery storage service includes everything you need to get set up and optimised:

  • System design & consultation tailored to your energy usage and goals

  • Battery supply from reliable, well-supported UK brands

  • Installation by fully qualified engineers

  • Integration with existing solar PV or new systems

  • Aftercare & support to keep your system performing year-after-year


Why Choose Battery Storage?

Adding a battery to your solar energy system significantly changes the way you use electricity:

 

Store Excess Solar Power

Instead of exporting unused solar generation back to the grid, a battery lets you store it for use in the evening, overnight or on cloudy days — increasing how much of your solar energy you actually use.

 

Reduce Reliance on Grid Electricity

Battery storage lets you draw from your own stored energy rather than importing expensive grid power, helping lower ongoing electricity costs.

 

Backup Power in Outages

For homes and businesses alike, stored energy can provide resilience during supply interruptions — keeping essential systems running when the grid doesn’t.

 

Better Self-Consumption

Typical solar setups without batteries only use a portion of the energy they generate. With storage, self-consumption rates rise considerably, meaning you make more out of every kilowatt you produce.

How Battery Storage Works

Battery storage systems are paired with your solar panels (or can be standalone with off-peak charging) to save energy for later use:

  1. Solar power generated during the day charges the battery.

  2. Stored energy is used in the evening or during peak demand times when electricity from the grid is more expensive.

  3. Smart controls decide when to charge or discharge based on usage patterns or electricity tariffs.

This intelligent energy management lets you capture more value from solar generation and significantly improve the performance of your whole system.

What to Expect

When you choose AKA Mechanical:

  • We’ll start with a site survey to assess your roof, electrical infrastructure and energy profile

  • We’ll recommend a battery size and configuration that fits how you live or work

  • Our team will handle installation, wiring, safety checks and commissioning

  • You’ll get guidance on optimising usage and understanding performance

We aim for straightforward, compliant installs with minimal disruption to your daily routine.


Is Battery Storage Right for You?

Battery storage is ideal if you:

  • Already have solar panels and want to use more of your own power

  • Want to reduce electricity bills and improve energy independence

  • Need backup power for critical systems

  • Are planning for future additions like EV charging or heat pumps

While the initial investment varies based on capacity and technology, many UK owners find that storage improves self-consumption and enhances long-term savings.

    Financial Benefits & UK-Specific Advantages

    Installation of solar battery storage in the UK currently benefits from 0% VAT, making it a more attractive upfront investment compared to previous years.

    Battery systems can also work with tariffs that reward off-peak charging or export timing, helping you save on grid power and maximise returns under schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
