PBT Installations installs battery storage systems for homes across the Forest of Dean — with or without solar panels. As an MCS-certified, NAPIT-registered installer, we design each system around your property and energy usage.

Why battery storage suits Forest of Dean homes

The Forest of Dean’s more rural, wooded setting means power outages tend to be more frequent here than in town centres — one of the strongest practical cases for battery storage. Beyond the cost savings of charging cheaply overnight and using that power during expensive peak hours, a battery gives real backup resilience when the grid goes down. For the area’s many solar-equipped properties, it also means excess daytime generation gets stored and used, rather than exported for a fraction of its value.

With or without solar

  • No solar needed — charge overnight at off-peak rates, use it during peak hours
  • With solar — store excess generation instead of exporting it cheaply
  • Backup power — added resilience during outages, more common in rural areas
