Energy usage & tariff
Your consumption pattern and whether an off-peak tariff makes storage pay.
See if your home is ready for a battery
Scout checks your energy usage, existing solar and electrical setup, then connects you with certified battery storage installers.
What Scout checks for battery storage
Everything that decides whether a home battery is worth it for you, gathered before an installer visits.
Existing solar
Whether you already generate solar that a battery could store for later.
Battery sizing
The capacity that matches your usage, solar generation and budget.
Installation space
Where the battery could sit, indoors or out, with room for ventilation.
Savings & payback
Estimated bill savings from storing cheap overnight or self-generated power.
VAT & incentives
Whether you qualify for 0% VAT and any local storage incentives.
How it works
From postcode to home battery in three simple steps.
Enter your postcode and Scout reviews your energy usage, existing solar and electrical setup straight from public records.
Scout assesses your usage, solar generation, tariff and space, then recommends the right battery size, with projected savings and payback period for every option.
We introduce you to certified battery storage installers near you. You compare their responses and decide who to work with, with no obligation.

Scout Battery Storage is a pre-suitability platform for home battery installations. It sits between your first question, “is a home battery worth it?”, and your first conversation with a qualified installer. We check your energy usage, existing solar and electrical setup against public data, then tell you whether storage is suitable and why. We connect you with certified installers, and we don't take a cut of your quote.
Yes. Running your property check is completely free and takes about two minutes. We're paid by installers when you choose to connect with them, never by adding anything to your quote.
No. A battery can store cheap off-peak grid electricity even without solar, though pairing it with solar usually improves the payback.
Scout sizes the right capacity from your daily usage, solar generation and budget, then shows the savings for each option so you can compare.
Savings depend on your tariff and usage. Scout projects your likely bill savings from storing cheap overnight or self-generated power before you commit.
Batteries can sit in a garage, utility room or on an external wall. Scout checks whether you have suitable space with room for ventilation.
Most home battery installations are completed in one day once your installer has surveyed the property and scheduled the work.
