Battery storage installation in Colchester
Lighting Electrical installs battery storage for homeowners, landlords and businesses across Colchester and the surrounding Essex towns. A battery holds electricity for later use in the property, and you receive the relevant electrical paperwork when the work is complete.
“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

Who needs battery storage
- You need battery storage when you want electricity generated on site, or taken at a cheaper rate, kept for later use in the home or workplace.
- Daytime generation can be stored and used in the evening for lights, sockets and appliances.
- A battery can charge overnight and run the property later when unit rates are higher.
- A workplace battery stores power for later use so daytime loads take less from the grid.
What is covered
The installation covers the battery, the electrical connection and the certificate, and leaves out work priced as other services.
Included
- Fitting the battery storage unit at the property
- Connecting the battery to the electrical installation
- Isolating the circuits used for that connection while the work is done
