About Our Solar Battery Storage
We won’t settle for second best so neither should you. This is why we don’t align ourselves with a battery unless it meets our high standards. Be assured that all of our Solar Batteries are:
- Solar Compatible: Our Solar Batteries work in harmony with Solar Panels technology so you can store your excess solar power.
- Safe: Our Solar Batteries have full electrical and temperature protection for your safety.
- Smart: You can use an app to monitor and control your Solar Battery Storage with your smartphone on Apple iPhones or Google Android phones.
- MCS Certified Battery Storage Installers: We are now MCS Certified for Battery Storage, so we can install your solar batteries to MCS Standards.
Ways To Install Your Solar Battery
At NXTGEN Energy, we provide a wide range of high-quality solar batteries at affordable prices. The prices include installation and VAT for any location in the UK. We do not charge any extra fees for our services. We can install solar batteries as an upgrade to your existing battery system or as a retro fit to your solar panel system. You should be aware that the VAT rate for installing a battery with a solar panel system is 0%, but the VAT rate for retro fitting a battery storage system is 20%.
Retro Fitting
A battery storage system can help you store the excess electricity generated by your solar panel system. This way, you can use your own renewable energy whenever you need it, even when the sun is not shining. If you already have a solar panel system installed, you can add a battery storage system to it. This is called retro fitting. To do this, you will need an AC coupled control management system, which is a device that regulates the flow of electricity between the Solar Panels, the battery, and the grid. This ensures that the battery is charged and discharged properly and safely.

What is the difference between IP65 and IP20 Solar Battery Storage?
IP65 and IP20 are ratings that indicate the level of protection that a solar battery storage has against dust and water ingress. IP stands for Ingress Protection, and the two digits represent the degree of protection against solid particles (such as dust) and liquid (such as water). The higher the number, the better the protection.
IP65 means that the solar battery storage is dust-tight and can withstand water jets from any direction. This rating is suitable for outdoor installation, without shelter, as it can resist harsh weather conditions.
IP20 means that the solar battery storage is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm, such as fingers, but not against dust. It also has no protection against water. This rating is only suitable for indoor installation, in a dry and clean environment.
Therefore, the difference between IP65 and IP20 solar battery storage is that IP65 can be installed outdoors or indoors, while IP20 can only be installed indoors in a clean and dry environment. IP65 also offers better protection against dust and water than IP20.
