We recently completed a Tesla Powerwall installation in Frampton Cotterell, giving the homeowner greater control over their energy usage and the ability to store electricity for later use.
Battery storage systems like the Tesla Powerwall are becoming increasingly popular, allowing homeowners to reduce reliance on the grid and make better use of solar energy where available.
About the Tesla Powerwall
The Tesla Powerwall is one of the most well-known home battery storage systems on the market. With a usable capacity of 13.5kWh and a fully integrated inverter, it’s designed to store electricity from solar panels or the grid and deploy it when it’s needed most — typically in the evening or during a power cut.
Unlike some battery systems that require a separate inverter, the Powerwall is a self-contained unit with all the electronics built in. It’s managed via the Tesla app, giving real-time visibility of energy flows, grid import and battery state of charge.
Installation Overview
We installed the Tesla Powerwall at the customer’s property in Frampton Cotterell, integrating it with the existing electrical supply and configuring it for optimal energy management.
- Tesla Powerwall — 13.5kWh usable capacity
- Integrated inverter and energy management system
- Smart monitoring via the Tesla app
- Backup gateway for power outage protection
- Fully tested and commissioned on completion
How Battery Storage Reduces Your Energy Bills
Even without solar panels, a battery storage system can deliver real savings if you’re on a time-of-use tariff. You can charge the battery overnight when electricity is cheapest — on tariffs like Octopus Go, that can be as little as 7p per kWh — and then use that stored energy during the day and evening when grid rates are higher.
For homes with existing solar panels, a battery like the Powerwall takes things further by storing surplus generation during the day rather than exporting it to the grid at a lower rate. This significantly improves self-consumption and reduces grid reliance throughout the year.
