Store the sun
Keep excess energy ready for the evening.
More control after sunset
A battery makes your solar energy more useful.
Solar panels produce during daylight. Battery storage helps keep excess generation available for evenings and periods of low sunlight, so you can maximise self-consumption where the system and your usage make that practical.
Plan for evenings
A carefully designed system can help match stored energy to the way your home is used after dark.
Designed for your home
Property, existing equipment and energy habits all matter when choosing a practical approach.
Installed professionally
Thomson’s qualified team designs, installs and commissions your system with care.

Questions, answered
Battery storage FAQs
If you are still weighing up your options, these are the practical questions to start with.
What does a home battery do?+
A battery stores electricity so it can be used later. With solar, that can mean keeping excess daytime generation for the evening or periods when sunlight is low.
Can I add a battery to existing solar panels?+
It may be possible, but the right approach depends on the existing equipment, property and energy use. Thomson can assess the system before recommending an option.
Do I need solar panels to have battery storage?+
Not always. A battery system can be considered in different ways, but the best setup depends on your home, electricity use and what you want the system to achieve.
Will a battery remove my electricity bills?+
No outcome can be promised in advance. The result depends on your system, usage, generation, tariff and other factors. Thomson will explain the practical options during an assessment.
How is a battery system designed?+
We look at your property, existing or planned solar, energy use and priorities. That information helps us recommend a practical system rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Do you cover homes outside Whitehaven?+
Yes. Thomson works across West Cumbria, including Seascale, Gosforth, Eskdale, Egremont and Workington, as well as Whitehaven.
What happens after I enquire?+
We use your details to understand the project, arrange the appropriate next step and provide clear advice. A free assessment and fixed-price, no-hidden-cost quote can then be discussed for your property.
