Getting more from your power in Preston

City homes in Preston tend to use most of their electricity early in the morning and in the evening, which is exactly when solar panels produce least. Storage is what moves your daytime generation into those hours.

The hours that cost most are the evening peak, when everyone in Preston gets home and the kettle, oven and TV go on at once. A battery covers that stretch with power you stored earlier, either from your panels or from a cheap overnight tariff.

As well as Preston itself, we fit batteries in Fulwood, Penwortham, Longridge, Bamber Bridge, Walton-le-Dale and Lostock Hall. Wherever you are in the area, you deal with the people who design and install the system, not a call centre.

Often a good fit in Preston

Anker SOLIX X1

Slim enough to hang on a hallway or utility wall where a bulkier battery won't fit, and it scales up if you need more later.

Solar panels and battery storage

We install solar panels in Preston too

If you don't have panels yet, a battery and solar installed together usually make the most sense: the panels generate during the day and the battery holds it for the evening. We design both around your Preston home.

Public Google reviews of Eco2u NW.

“We had a solar install from Eco2u NW last week at our rental house in England, the process was very smooth. From speaking to Ryan at sales to getting Joe who fit the system we were very impressed. We would highly recommend.”

“Eco2u recently installed a 7.2kW array with a hybrid inverter, battery storage, and bird protection for us at a brilliant price. Ryan was fantastic during the quoting stage and answered all my questions/requests promptly. On the day, the installation team arrived right on time, were very friendly, and did an incredibly neat job with all the cable management. They got me set up on the FoxESS app quickly and tidied up completely before leaving. Installation was all done in just one day! A special shoutout to Kurt, who was super helpful, incredibly friendly, and fully committed to making sure we were 100% happy with the installation. The owner of Eco2u even stopped by to check on the job on the installation day, which was a really thoughtful touch. We've been practically off-grid since the system went live in September 2026. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Eco2u to anyone. Bring on the summer!”

“Absolutely fantastic experience. I spent many weeks comparing quotes, analysing systems (using AI) and settled on 2 companies based on the system specs, price and warranty. The difference at the time was that the team at Eco 2U were willing to go the extra mile working around my requirements without giving me excuses. As a project manager in my professional life, this makes a huge difference when selecting suppliers, so credit to the team there. Once I had selected ECO 2U as my supplier, they constantly kept me updated on the DNO application progress and potential installation dates. Communication was very good. Fast forward to the installation and I was super impressed with the professionalism of the team, the attention to detail and the fact that they used waste packaging as additional protection to prevent scratching on the system before handover. Minor details like that make a big difference. Whilst the installation didn’t go without some minor issues, they were responsive to that and managed to limit the impact to the system handover. Very impressed overall, thanks team.”

“I couldn’t be more pleased. I very much rarely rate a review as 5 star however I make an exception in this instance. I contacted ECO2U NW as I was struggling to make a decision on an ev charger as this was my first ev car. Les the founder talked me through options clearly and once I explained what I required from the product and agreed what I needed Les offered the most competitive quote straight off. Installation was arranged without the long delays I had been quoted by others Les came himself and the installation took about an hour and a half, no mess and very neat. No visible cables on the outside wall and because I opted for an untethered charger only the charger box is visible. Les then talked me through the operation and we tested the charger with the car with no issues. So simple to use and saving me so much by not using a public charger. I set my charger on the app which Les showed me how to operate and charge my vehicle by timing off peak. I could not be more satisfied with both the installation and the charger. Highly recommended.”

“From survey to switch-on in three weeks. They designed the array around our odd-shaped roof and the output has beaten their own projections every month since.”

Battery storage in Preston: your questions

Do you install battery storage in Preston?

Yes. Our own team designs and installs home batteries across Preston and nearby, including Fulwood, Penwortham, Longridge, Bamber Bridge, from the first survey to switch-on.

Can a battery be retrofitted to existing solar panels in Preston?

Yes, in most cases. AC-coupled batteries such as Fox ESS and Hanchu connect to an existing system without touching your panels, so you keep more of your own solar instead of exporting it cheaply. A battery added to existing panels is 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and we handle any DNO notification it needs. Already have a battery that's too small? We upgrade those too.

Adding a battery to existing solar
Can a home battery go outside in Preston?

Yes, if the battery is built for it. The EcoFlow PowerOcean 2 is IP65 rated for outdoor fitting, and we site it on a sheltered wall. Other batteries we fit are better kept indoors or in a garage, and we will tell you which suits your home at the design stage.

Can I get solar panels and a battery together in Preston?

Yes, solar is our main service in Preston. If you don't have panels yet, we can design panels and storage as one system.
