In a much-needed move towards energy efficiency, the government has unveiled plans to grant VAT relief on the installation of energy storage batteries. This welcome move extends far beyond the previous VAT relief policy, which was limited to batteries installed concurrently with solar panels.
“It’s fantastic that the government has extended tax relief on battery storage systems. The expanded VAT relief aligns with the UK’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting green energy solutions.
The tax relief initiative, focusing on battery storage systems, is pioneering. It recognises the indispensable role that battery storage plays in bolstering the clean energy sector and propels the UK towards achieving more sustainable energy solutions.

All solar and energy storage installations, including maintenance to existing sites, should be subject to 0% VAT. This should include residential energy storage when installed as a standalone measure.
Effective 1 February 2024, this new policy encompasses standalone battery installations and retrofitted batteries. This decision marks a crucial turning point for the energy storage sector, signifying a pivotal moment in the UK's transition toward cleaner energy.
