Why Battery Storage in Leicester?
Store Solar Energy
Charge your battery from surplus solar generation during the day and use that stored electricity in the evening — instead of paying peak grid rates.
Beat Peak Tariffs
Charge cheaply overnight on Octopus Go (from ~7p/kWh) and discharge during expensive peak periods. Save up to £900 per year without solar.
Energy Independence
Reduce your reliance on the grid with a solar-plus-battery system. Many Leicester households cover 70–90% of their electricity needs from their own generation.

The best battery for Leicester depends on your priorities. SigEnergy (5–30kWh, 15-year warranty) is our premium all-in-one recommendation, with integrated EV charging and modular capacity you can expand later. Fox ESS (5.2–20kWh, 10-year warranty) offers the best value entry point. Energy Concerns recommends the right system for your Leicester property during your free survey.
With approximately 1,400 sunshine hours per year, Leicester solar-plus-battery systems typically achieve a payback period of 7–10 years when combined with an off-peak tariff such as Octopus Go. Battery storage alone (without solar) has a longer payback of 10–14 years. Pairing battery with solar maximises savings by storing free daytime generation for evening use.
Yes. In Leicester you can use a battery as a standalone grid-connected unit, charging cheaply overnight on a time-of-use tariff (e.g. Octopus Go at around 7p/kWh) and discharging during peak evening rates (25–35p/kWh). This alone can save £200–£400 per year. Combining with solar panels increases savings significantly by also capturing free daytime generation.
Absolutely. Octopus Go offers overnight electricity at around 7p/kWh between midnight and 5am. Charging a 10kWh SigEnergy or Fox ESS battery overnight and discharging during the day can save up to £900 per year versus standard variable tariffs. All batteries Energy Concerns installs in Leicester — including SigEnergy and Fox ESS — are fully compatible with Octopus Go and Flux tariff scheduling.
Battery storage itself doesn't currently qualify for a standalone grant, but 0% VAT applies to batteries installed alongside solar panels (until at least March 2027), saving you 20% on the battery cost. ECO4 funding is available for eligible lower-income households in Leicester for solar-plus-battery packages. Energy Concerns advises on all available funding routes during your free survey.
