While up on the roof, they noticed several cracked tiles and immediately pointed them out to me, suggesting I get them fixed while the scaffolding was already set up. Rather than rushing to finish their own job, they kindly put their work on hold so I could get the roof repaired. … Finding a trade company with this degree of honesty, integrity, and punctuality is rare.

Solar Battery Storage Installation
Electrical Exchange, covering Dorset and Hampshire from our Christchurch base, specialises in battery storage installation, helping you efficiently store energy for later use. Contrary to common misconceptions, you don't need a full solar array to benefit from battery storage.
Our expert team provides tailored installation and maintenance services, allowing you to cut costs and reduce carbon emissions. A battery never works alone - it's paired with an inverter that converts the stored energy into usable power for your home, so we always install and configure the two together as a single system, whether alongside a solar array or as a standalone solution.
Trust Electrical Exchange to guide you through the process, offering sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions for your home. Our commitment to your satisfaction means we'll be there to support you long after installation is complete.
Advantages of Battery Storage
Battery storage installation offers numerous benefits for residential properties. By storing excess solar energy or charging from the grid during off-peak times, batteries ensure a reliable power supply during peak demand periods or outages - reducing reliance on the grid, lowering electricity bills, and enhancing energy efficiency.
Battery storage systems also contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions associated with traditional energy sources. With customisable configurations and seamless integration, you can optimise energy usage and achieve long-term savings - our team is here to help you understand which solution best suits your specific needs.

Yes - we regularly retrofit batteries to existing solar installations, including systems not originally installed by us, to maximise self-consumption.
It depends on the battery capacity and your household's energy usage. After a free home survey, we give you a detailed, fixed quote - no hidden extras and no pressure to sign on the spot.
Most batteries carry a 10 year performance warranty and continue working well beyond that. We'll confirm the specific warranty for your chosen system as part of your quote.
Some battery systems support backup power during an outage, depending on the model and how your system is configured - we'll talk you through the options during your survey.
