Whole-Home Backup at a Rural Property in Kinlochard
A recent Kinlochard project combined an 8.1 kWp ground-mounted solar PV system with Sigenergy battery storage and a Sigenergy HomeMax whole-home backup gateway, designed to keep the property supplied when the grid goes down.
The property's existing hydro generation was tied into the same inverter as the solar, so there are two sources feeding the battery rather than one — which matters during a long outage, when what you care about is whether anything is still putting charge back in.
It also includes a DC EV charger with vehicle-to-home capability, allowing a compatible electric vehicle to act as a further store of energy for the house.
This one is close to home for us — Kinlochard is where we are based, and it is exactly the kind of rural, exposed property that sees the longest outages. You can read the full project write-up including the ground-mount build.

Battery storage for rural homes and businesses
Based at Kinlochard, we install batteries across Loch Lomond & The Trossachs for solar self-consumption, tariff shifting and properly designed backup power.
Use more of your own solar
Store daytime generation for the evening instead of exporting it all. We size storage around the property's actual usage rather than assuming every rural home needs the biggest battery.
Design backup properly
A battery does not automatically keep a property running during an outage. We design compatible EPS or whole-home backup, agree the loads and explain the limits before installation.
Coordinate solar and EV charging
Solar, cheap-rate charging, a home battery and an EV charger can share one electrical system when the controls, inverter capacity and charging priorities are planned together.
Fit it to the property
Outbuildings, exposed external walls, long cable runs and older consumer units are common locally. We check siting, earthing, protection and access as part of the design.
