ARC Solar & Storage

29/10/2026

Over the past couple of weeks we have shared what Tesla Home brings to the Powerwall. Here is the short version:

✔ Free upgrade, built into every Powerwall

✔ Solar Panels, Battery Storage and EV charging working as one system

✔ Off-peak EV charging for any EV

✔ Surplus Solar into your car for Tesla drivers


If you have been weighing up a Home Battery, it is a good time to look. Qualifying installations currently benefit from 0% VAT.


ARC Solar & Storage is MCS certified and installs Tesla Powerwall 3 across Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and the West Midlands.

Tesla driver with Solar Panels? This one is for you.


Tesla Home's Charge on Solar sends your surplus Solar energy straight into your car, rather than exporting it to the grid.


You set a minimum charge level so you always have the range you need, whatever the weather. Anything above that is topped up purely from your own excess Solar.


It is a simple way to get more from the Solar Panels already on your roof. Want to talk it through?

Storms are forecast this weekend, and a power cut is a real possibility for some homes across the region.
If the grid goes down, a Tesla Powerwall 3 takes over automatically. It powers your whole house, not just a few sockets, so the lights, fridge, boiler controls and Wi-Fi keep going.

You don't need Solar Panels to have one. Powerwall 3 works on its own, charging cheaply overnight. If you do add Solar Panels, now or later, it stores the free daytime energy as well.
ARC Solar & Storage is an MCS certified installer covering Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and the West Midlands.

Driving an EV on an off-peak tariff? Tesla Home now does the scheduling for you.


With Rate-Plan Charging, you just set the time you need to leave and how much charge you want. The system then charges your car during your cheapest tariff hours, without you setting timers or checking apps.


It works with Tesla and non-Tesla EVs, and it comes free with every Powerwall.


Pair it with Battery Storage and Solar Panels and your whole home runs on a smarter schedule. Questions? Give the ARC team a call on 01789 490972.

Got a Tesla Powerwall? It has just become a lot smarter.

Tesla Home is a free upgrade built into every Powerwall. No new hardware, no extra cost and no additional setup.


It links your Solar Panels, Battery Storage and EV charging into one coordinated system, so they work together instead of separately. Behind it is Opticaster, Tesla's AI engine, which looks at the solar forecast, your household demand and your tariff to decide what runs and when.


We install Tesla Powerwall 3 across Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and the West Midlands.

Considering Solar & Battery.
One date worth putting in the diary: 31 March 2027.

Solar Panels and Battery Storage installed in homes currently carry 0% VAT. Under current rules, that changes to 5% from 1 April 2027 unless the government extends it.

It's still a low rate, but on a full system it's a real cost. If you're thinking about it, getting a survey done now gives you time to decide without a rush.

Energy forecasters Cornwall Insight are predicting the price cap could rise by around 16% in January, taking the typical bill to about £1,999 a year.

It's a forecast, not a confirmed figure. Ofgem announces the real number on 25 November. Martin Lewis has also warned of a rise of 10–15%, so the direction looks clear even if the exact number isn't.

Solar Panels and Battery Storage won't change the cap, but they can reduce how much of it you feel.

Quick refresher on why Solar Panels and Battery Storage work so well together.

Your Solar Panels generate power during the day. Your Battery Storage holds what you don't use, so you can run the house in the evening on your own energy rather than buying it back from the grid.

The more you generate and store, the less of your bill depends on whatever the price cap does next.

Tomorrow the energy price cap goes up 4%, taking the typical dual-fuel bill to £1,723 a year.

It's not a huge jump on its own. But it's the first of what could be a few rises this winter, and it's a good moment to ask how much of your energy you'd rather generate yourself.

Solar Panels and Battery Storage are still well worth a look.

Martin Lewis has just flagged that the energy price cap could rise by as much as 24% this January – pushing the average dual-fuel bill up to around £2,140 a year.

Worth 5 minutes of anyone's time, especially if you're on a standard tariff. He breaks down what's driving it and what your options are.

It's also exactly the kind of rise Solar and Battery Storage are built to shield you from – generate and store your own power, and less of your bill is exposed to whatever the cap does next.
