Add a battery and finally get the most out of every kWh you generate.
Most existing solar homes still export 60–70% of what they generate at 15p/kWh, then buy it back at 30p. A properly-sized retrofit battery captures that surplus, then tops up overnight on a cheap EV tariff — often adding £400–600 a year before any other change.
- Works with any existing solar inverter — SolarEdge, Solis, SMA, Fronius and more.
- Charge cheaply overnight on Octopus Go / Intelligent / Cosy and discharge at peak.
- Push solar self-consumption from ~35% to 80%+.
- Optional EPS backup keeps fridge, freezer, broadband and lights on during outages.

Testimonials
What clients say
Real feedback from Scottish homes and businesses we've delivered for.
"Eastern Electric installed thirteen 530W solar panels and a 10kWh myenergi libbi battery in my home. The service was excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear and quick, installation was completed as planned and the workmanship is of an excellent standard. The site was left spotless. I would certainly recommend Eastern Electric."

Homeowner · Edinburgh
"Cut our electricity from around £40/day to roughly £5/day between April and September. Eastern Electric handled the solar, the battery and the single-to-three-phase supply upgrade in one package — proper commercial job."
