Why Choose Battery Storage?
Delta Energy Solutions provides advanced battery storage systems for homes and businesses across Scotland, helping customers maximise energy efficiency and reduce costs. Their systems store excess energy for use during peak times, integrate with solar panels, and come with professional installation and ongoing support. Homeowners can save on annual energy bills, while businesses can also experience savings on energy bills, with added benefits like blackout protection and reduced demand charges.
Battery systems also provide backup power during outages, improving energy security, and help lower carbon emissions by reducing reliance on fossil fuels. As a result, more people are choosing battery storage to make the most of their renewable energy investment and enhance the sustainability of their properties.
Typical Setup
A complete battery storage system consists of several key components working together to deliver reliable energy storage and management.
- The battery unit itself is responsible for storing and discharging electrical energy as needed.
- An inverter and charger convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC) and manage the charging cycles.
- A monitoring system is integrated to track your energy usage, cost savings, and the system’s overall health, providing real-time insights and control.
All components are securely installed using high-quality hardware that ensures safety and compliance with current regulations.
Setup, capacity, type of battery needed, and whether planning consent is required will depend on your site’s energy usage and goals – I’ll walk you through all available options.
Domestic Battery Storage
More Scottish homeowners are adding batteries to support their solar panels or future-proof their electrified homes.
- Works perfectly with solar PV: Store unused solar energy for evening use.
- Protects against blackouts: Keep the lights on and essential devices running.
- Optimises off-peak tariffs: Charge the battery at low rates, then use stored energy when rates rise.
My team fits all leading battery brands and ensures every installation meets planning consent, Building Standards, and safety requirements.
Commercial Battery Storage
Businesses benefit from reliable, scalable systems that help control energy spend.
- Reduce maximum demand charges: Discharge batteries during periods of high site load.
- Take part in grid services: Earn revenue by supporting the national grid with flexible energy use.
- Meet net zero objectives: Use stored low-carbon power, reducing Scope 2 emissions.
I offer packages for offices, factories, schools, warehouses, farms and more — from single systems to multi-site strategies, including guidance on acquiring planning consent if required.

Battery Storage FAQs
What size battery do I need?
This will depend on your daily energy usage and how much of it you want to cover with stored electricity. I’ll recommend a system size based on your property and targets.
Can batteries be retrofitted to my existing solar PV?
Yes. I specialise in adding battery storage to existing solar systems of all ages and brands.
How long does installation take?
Most domestic systems are fitted within a day. For larger commercial construction projects, timelines are agreed once planning consent is obtained, ensuring there’s minimal impact on site activities.
Will battery storage work during a power cut?
Absolutely! Provided you opt for a system with that capability, batteries can provide backup power to key circuit
Do batteries need much maintenance?
Very little. Most systems are monitored remotely, with self-diagnostics and only basic routine checks required.
