UK Government grant VAT relief on new installations of energy storage batteries

Good news for older installed Solar panel systems.

As of the February 1st, 2024 the UK government will grant VAT relief on new installations of energy storage batteries, this will include standalone battery installations and retrofitted batteries.

It’s always been an issue if you had a solar system installed 12-14 years ago and you are receiving a FIT payment on a Solar PV system. Retrofitting a Solar battery with 20% VAT made it just about impossible to get a good return to investment. Solar Storage batteries have decreased in price over the last year, now add the VAT being removed.

Call the local friendly experts PES Renewables Ltd to obtain a quotation and arrange for a site survey, it’s not too late to make your Solar panel systems work better.
