Battery Storage for Padstow Homes

Padstow's high-value holiday let market makes battery storage particularly attractive: properties generating income from holiday lettings have strong financial incentives to minimise electricity bills, and a battery storage system can significantly reduce the grid electricity costs that eat into rental income. CCS Heating & Renewables installs Foxstar, Tesla Powerwall, and Fox ESS battery systems across the PL28 area. In summer — Padstow's peak letting season — solar and battery storage together can provide near-energy independence, with the battery storing daytime solar generation for use during evenings when guests are cooking, watching TV, and charging devices. For holiday let owners planning a combined solar and EV charger installation, adding battery storage at the same time is the most cost-effective approach — a single installation visit, one set of DNO notifications, and maximum long-term returns.

What Our Customers Say

"Added a Foxstar battery to our existing solar panels. CCS fitted it in a single day and now we use almost all of our solar generation ourselves. The app monitoring is fantastic too — I can see exactly where every unit goes."

"Quick and professional EV charger installation. CCS recommended the Zappi so we can charge from our solar panels during the day. Saves us a fortune compared to public chargers, especially in summer."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Battery Storage in Padstow

Is a battery worth it with solar panels?

A battery significantly increases the value of your solar panels. Without a battery, you typically use only 30–50% of the solar energy you generate — the rest is exported to the grid at 15–25p/kWh. With a battery, self-consumption rises to 70–90%, meaning you use your own free solar energy instead of paying 24.67p/kWh from the grid. A 9.5kWh battery system costs £4,500–£7,000 installed (at 0% VAT). In Cornwall, battery storage typically pays back in 5–7 years.

How long do home batteries last?

Modern lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) home batteries — including Foxstar and Tesla Powerwall — are warranted for 10 years and designed to last 15+ years. LiFePO4 chemistry is the safest, most stable battery chemistry available, with no thermal runaway risk and excellent long-term capacity retention.

Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?

Yes, batteries can be retrofitted to any existing solar PV system. We install AC-coupled battery systems (such as the Foxstar or Tesla Powerwall) alongside your current inverter, compatible with any solar system regardless of age. A retrofit typically takes 1 day and we handle all DNO notifications. The 0% VAT rate applies to battery storage installed alongside solar.

Can a battery provide backup power during a power cut?

Yes — some home batteries including the Tesla Powerwall and certain Foxstar configurations provide backup power during a grid outage, automatically switching to battery power when the grid fails. This is a particularly useful feature for rural properties in Cornwall where power cuts can occur. Not all batteries include backup as standard, so we advise on this when recommending a system.

What is the best battery to buy with solar panels?

Foxstar and Tesla Powerwall are our most frequently installed systems. Foxstar offers excellent value, strong UK customer support, and modular capacity. Tesla Powerwall has a sleeker design, excellent software, and strong backup power features. The right choice depends on your budget, whether backup power matters to you, and whether you want to expand capacity in future. We install both and provide impartial advice.
