How much does solar battery storage cost in Devon in 2025?

Expect to pay £3,500–£8,500 depending on battery size and brand.

How long do solar batteries last?

Most batteries last 10–15 years, and many come with a 10-year warranty.

Do I need solar panels to benefit from a battery?

What is MCS and why does it matter?

MCS is the UK quality mark for small-scale renewables. It assures product and installation standards and unlocks benefits such as Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments for solar.

From when will Cole Energy’s solar installs be MCS-certified?
