As Yarm and Eaglescliffe's local battery storage installer — based in Kirklevington less than a mile from Yarm High Street — ALPS Electrical offers genuine local knowledge, fast survey availability, and no travel surcharges. The Yarm and Eaglescliffe area has one of the highest rates of solar panel adoption in the Tees Valley, and battery storage is a natural next step for the many homeowners here who already generate their own electricity. The executive and larger family homes typical of Kirklevington, Castle Levington, Leven and Egglescliffe commonly have integral garages or utility rooms — ideal for a clean, weather-protected battery installation. Many local homeowners pair battery storage with smart EV charging, using overnight tariffs such as Octopus Go to charge both the battery and the car at rates well below the daytime unit price. We are brand-independent and specify the system that best fits your existing setup, whether that is a GivEnergy, SolarEdge, Sigenergy or another platform.

The Financial Case for Battery Storage in Yarm
On Octopus Go, overnight charging at 7.5p/kWh used during peak periods at 24p+ saves £300 to £600 per year from tariff arbitrage alone, with no solar required. Add solar panels and a battery, and self-consumption rises from 30–50% to 70–90% — dramatically increasing savings and reducing payback periods to 5–8 years. With electricity prices forecast to remain elevated, the case for storage is strong.

Frequently Asked Questions
Battery storage costs in the UK range from £2,500 for a small 5kWh unit to £12,000+ for premium systems like the Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh). A mid-range system like the GivEnergy Gen 3 with 9.5kWh storage typically costs £4,000-£6,000. Prices include installation and are subject to 0% VAT when installed alongside or added to an existing solar panel system.
Yes, battery-only installations are increasingly popular. By charging your battery overnight on cheap tariffs like Octopus Go (7.5p/kWh) and using that stored energy during the day when rates are 24p+/kWh, you can save hundreds of pounds per year. Our Fox Cube battery-only installation video on YouTube demonstrates the savings potential in detail.
Both are excellent systems. The Tesla Powerwall 3 has a built-in inverter (simplifying installation), 13.5kWh capacity, backup gateway capability and the polished Tesla app. GivEnergy Gen 3 offers more flexible sizing, a strong community following, open API access and typically lower cost per kWh of storage. We install both and recommend based on your specific needs, budget and whether you want full home backup capability.
Modern lithium-ion solar batteries typically last 10-15 years, or 6,000-10,000 charge cycles. Tesla Powerwall comes with a 10-year warranty. GivEnergy offers a 12-year warranty on Gen 3 batteries. After warranty expiry, batteries continue to work but with gradually reduced capacity, similar to a mobile phone battery. Most batteries retain 70-80% of original capacity after 10 years.
A hybrid (DC-coupled) battery connects directly to the solar panels via a hybrid inverter, converting energy once and achieving higher efficiency (typically 95-97%). An AC-coupled battery connects to your home electrical circuit and works independently of the solar inverter, making it easier to retrofit to existing solar installations. We install both types and recommend based on whether this is a new installation or an addition to an existing system.
