Why Battery Storage in Oadby?
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 Oadby households cover 70–90% of their electricity needs from their own generation.

With approximately 1,400 sunshine hours per year, Oadby 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 Oadby 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 Oadby — 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 Oadby for solar-plus-battery packages. Energy Concerns advises on all available funding routes during your free survey.
