Battery Only installation
You don’t need solar panels to save money on your electric with a battery installation. Choose cheap energy storage.
How does battery energy storage work?
There are many reasons solar panels may not be possible on your home. That doesn’t mean you can’t save money. Instead of storing excess solar energy (from panels), a battery-only system charges directly from the grid at times when electricity is cheaper (like overnight off-peak tariffs). That stored power is then used during the day when electricity prices are higher.
Think of it as a giant rechargeable battery for your home.

CASE STUDY
Battery-Only Energy Storage at Little Park House
Little Park House, a beautiful listed building with a thatched roof, faced a challenge common to many heritage properties: solar panels were not an option. The owners wanted to cut energy costs and gain more control over their energy use, but conservation restrictions and roof limitations meant they needed a different solution.
Platinum Electrical Solutions delivered a battery-only system that allows the property to benefit from off-peak electricity, providing substantial savings without the need for solar panels.
The Challenge
Listed building status: Conservation restrictions meant solar panels could not be installed.
Thatched roof: Structural and heritage factors prevented renewable roof installations.
Energy cost concerns: The household wanted to reduce reliance on peak-rate electricity.
The Solution
Platinum installed a Fox ESS AC1-5.0-E-G2 AC grid charger inverter paired with a Fox ESS ECS2900 battery 4-stack, providing 11.5kWh of storage capacity.
The system charges directly from the grid during low-cost, off-peak periods (usually overnight) and stores that energy for use throughout the day.
System capacity: 11.5kWh
Inverter: Fox ESS AC1-5.0-E-G2
Battery: Fox ESS ECS2900 (4-stack)
