Energy storage batteries are popular accompaniments to Solar PV, working hand in hand with each other to generate and store energy for later use. Due to Solar PV being generated during daylight hours, it's not always possible to use the full generation of power if there is no one at home drawing any power - this is where energy storage batteries come in to play!
Lithium storage batteries can provide an extra layer of reliability in times of energy uncertainty. With the ability to be sized to accompany a Solar PV array, or to filter energy from the grid for storage in emergencies such as severe weather events, storage batteries are growing in popularity. Many homeowners across the UK look to reduce their dependence on drawing expensive energy from the grid. Storage batteries can help to achieve energy independence and in certain circumstances, grid-free electricity. With a warranty period of 10 years on average and around 6000 life cycles, they represent a long term investment.
If you have a business with a larger Solar PV array or wind turbine power system, our multi-battery solutions can be used to maximise your energy storage capabilities. Stackable battery systems allow easy additions when required and can be networked together to utilise the stored power. Multi-battery systems can also be used to extend the life of the overall battery system by charging and extracting from different modules to ease the burden.
Our generate and charge packages are a full system implementation of Solar PV and Battery Storage. Solar PV systems vary in size depending on whether they are installed on a domestic or commercial property. On retro-fit homes, the average system size is usually 4.8KW whereas commercial sized systems can range from tens to hundreds of kilowatts. Battery storage sizing should carefully consider the daylight usage from a Solar PV system – too little storage capacity and you may under utilise daylight energy generation whereas too much storage brings about unnecessary cost. We can analyse peak energy usage to specify the correct system sizing.
Containerised power banks are gradually beginning to be used as large scale district supply systems to overcome emergency outages in supply or even for disaster zones. A shipping container can hold many hundreds of kilowatts of battery storage hardware and can be mobilised with relative ease. With common occurrences of energy supply interruptions due to storms, containerised power banks can be conveniently located to provide energy to small communities, villages, towns and cities provided there are enough containers!
With energy costs rising exponentially, our solutions help you to take back control of your finances. We eliminate the high pressure sales tactics often deployed by our competitors whilst ensuring the installation process is carried out by accredited professionals. No sales reps, no “managers specials” and zero pressure.
When SAP regulations determine airtight insulation, heat recovery ventilation and renewable generation, we design and specify systems that make your project compliant. We offer an end to end process with direct access to wholesale product prices and a network of price capped installers for peace of mind.
If you are undertaking energy efficient upgrades, our system design consultancy and install management helps you to achieve cost-benefit driven results. We project manage your improvements from start to finish, offering the best long term solutions that enable you to regain control of your energy provision.
I used ThermoProtect for my solar panel system whilst renovating my home. They carried out an initial desktop survey and provided some estimated budgets for me before I committed to a full survey and install. Five star, efficient service - thank you!

I had a major mould issue in my home which kept coming back despite treating it. ThermoProtect advised me that I needed to ventilate my home better and they installed a Aventa HRV unit which also recovered some heat. Problem solved within a few weeks!

I wanted to upgrade my home insulation to ensure that I wasn't wasting energy. ThermoProtect identified pitched roof and cavity wall insulation as the two key areas that were lacking insulation and they installed foam insulation which I must say has made a big difference to my comfort....and my bills.
