Home battery storage in Scotland typically costs £4,000 to £6,000 for a 5kWh system or £8,000 to £10,000+ for 10kWh and above. Installation adds £1,000 to £2,000 depending on the complexity of your setup.
The most popular batteries we install are:
Tesla Powerwall — 13.5kWh capacity with built-in backup power (EPS). Keeps your lights on during power cuts. Especially popular with rural properties in Stirlingshire and Perthshire where outages can last days. Around £8,000–£10,000 installed.
GivEnergy — Available in 5kWh and 9.5kWh units that can be stacked for larger capacity. Good app, reliable performance, and works well with Octopus smart tariffs. Around £4,000–£6,000 for a 5kWh unit installed.
Both batteries qualify for 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, saving you around 20%.
A battery makes financial sense if you have solar panels (store daytime generation instead of exporting it) or if you are on a smart tariff like Octopus Go (charge at 7p/kWh overnight, use stored energy during peak hours at 24p+/kWh).
Mackie Electrical Services retrofits batteries to existing solar systems — including systems installed by other companies. We assess your setup during a free survey and recommend the right capacity based on your usage.
