From February, residential installations of retrofitted and standalone battery energy storage systems will now be exempt from VAT. Previously, the 0% rate of VAT on battery storage only applied when installed alongside other ESMs (e.g. solar panels).
This review presents a new insight by summarizing the advances in structure and property optimizations of battery electrode materials for high-efficiency energy storage. In-depth understanding, efficient optimization strategies, and advanced techniques on electrode materials are also highlighted.
Batteries can be used as a standalone technology, installed as part of a solar PV system or retrofitted to existing solar panels. Thanks to the upcoming tax reforms, all three types of battery installations will be exempt from VAT from February 2024. We are Contact Solar: trusted UK solar panel and battery storage specialists.
The upcoming 0% VAT on battery storage installations will come into effect on 1st February 2024. The exemption will apply to homes across the entire UK. Other ESMs have also been added to the VAT exemption list, including water-source heat pumps and retrofitted immersion diverters.
This review gives an account of the various emerging high-voltage positive electrode materials that have the potential to satisfy these requirements either in the short or long term, including nickel-rich layered oxides, lithium-rich layered oxides, high-voltage spinel oxides, and high-voltage polyanionic compounds.
Batteries also qualify for 0% VAT in Great Britain if they are supplied as part of an installation with a qualifying material – in other words, a solar system. However, because batteries are not included on the list of ESMs itself, they do not qualify if installed as a standalone product.
