PBT Installations

Battery Storage Installers in Cheltenham


PBT Installations installs home and business battery storage across Cheltenham, whether or not you already have solar panels. We’re an MCS-certified, NAPIT-registered installer based in the town, and we design each system around your property and how you actually use energy.

Why battery storage suits Cheltenham homes

Many Cheltenham homes can’t easily take solar: conservation area restrictions, listed buildings, shaded streets or awkward roof orientations. A battery still cuts your bills. It charges on cheap overnight or off-peak electricity and powers your home through the expensive evening peak. If you already have solar, it stores your spare daytime generation instead of exporting it for a fraction of its value.

With or without solar

  • No solar needed — charge overnight at off-peak rates, use it at peak times
  • With solar — store surplus generation rather than exporting it cheaply
  • With a heat pump — run your heat pump on stored, off-peak power instead of peak-rate grid electricity

What it costs

Battery systems in Cheltenham typically cost £4,000–£12,000+, depending on capacity. Batteries currently have 0% VAT, a relief in place until March 2027. We give you a clear, itemised quote after surveying your property. Not sure how big a battery you need? Read our guide: what size battery does my home need?

Brands we install

We fit Tesla Powerwall and Solarwatt batteries, with Victron inverters where a project calls for them, chosen for reliability and long-term performance.

See it working locally

In our Cheltenham retrofit project, the family charge their battery during Octopus Cosy’s cheap-rate windows and use that stored energy at peak times, alongside a heat pump and solar PV.

We also install batteries in Gloucester, Stroud, Cirencester, the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?

Yes. Retrofitting a battery to an existing solar PV system is straightforward and won’t affect your Feed-in Tariff payments

I’m in a conservation area. Can I still have a battery?

Yes. Batteries are installed indoors or in a garage or outbuilding, so they don’t change how your home looks from the street.

What warranty do batteries come with?

Most systems, including Tesla Powerwall, carry around a 10-year warranty with gradual, predictable capacity loss.
