🔋 From Tesla Powerwall to Sigenergy – A Huge Upgrade! ⚡
Back in 2018, we had the pleasure of installing a Tesla Powerwall system for Bruce. Fast forward to today, and technology has moved on significantly, so it was time for the next step.

We've now upgraded his home to a Sigenergy energy storage system featuring:
✅ 27 kWh of battery storage
✅ Bidirectional EV charger
✅ Seamless integration with his Tesla Model S
✅ Future-ready smart energy management

The bidirectional charger allows the Tesla Model S to become part of the home's energy ecosystem, making the most of solar generation, off-peak tariffs and stored energy.
It's always rewarding when customers come back to us years later, trusting our team to deliver the latest technology. Even better is hearing feedback like this:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Upgraded our house storage system from Tesla PW2 to a 28kW Sigenergy system. Alba were excellent, home survey and quotations were completed promptly, installation date agreed. Two experienced technicians installed and commissioned the system in one day. Well done, I've already recommended them to two of my family and they are getting systems installed."

Thank you, Bruce, for your continued trust and for recommending us to your family. It means a great deal to the whole team.

If you're thinking about upgrading your existing battery storage or want to see what the latest generation of home energy systems can do, get in touch with Team Alba. The technology has never been smarter, faster or more capable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another delighted customer!
"It was genuinely a pleasure speaking with both Wayne and Ryan — no pressure, no sales tactics, just honest advice."
Chris & Donna did their homework before calling us — they already knew they wanted a Sigenergy system. Our job was simply to help them size it right and make the process as smooth as possible

Their system:
🔆 13 × 475W Eurena panels (SSE) + 7 panels (NNW)
⚡ Sigenergy 8kW inverter
🔋 9kWh SigenStor battery
Day 5 results? Over 54kWh produced in a single day — and running the whole house on solar alone, even on cloudy days.
From first call to full handover pack, Ryan and the team handled everything — DNO application, installation, and SEG export setup. Euan and the install crew left the place spotless.
This is exactly why we do what we do. Congratulations Chris & Donna — welcome to the Alba family! ☀️

Thinking about solar? Get in touch — we'll give you the same honest advice.

⚡ 33kWh of Battery Storage Installed in Just ONE Day! ⚡
Yesterday, two of our engineers absolutely smashed it. Travelling from our facility in Glenrothes to Mauchline, they installed, commissioned and handed over a complete Sigenergy energy storage system in a single day.
✅ 8kW AC-Coupled Inverter
✅ 33kWh Battery Storage
✅ Full Home Backup with Gateway Pro
✅ Installed, Commissioned & Handed Over Same Day
The customer isn't even using solar yet.
Instead, they're taking advantage of low-cost overnight electricity with the Octopus Go tariff, charging both their EV and battery storage at just 8p per kWh. The stored energy is then used throughout the day, helping to reduce reliance on expensive peak-rate electricity.
Imagine powering your home from energy purchased for a fraction of the daytime cost.
Whether you're looking to reduce energy bills, protect yourself from power cuts, charge your EV more efficiently, or future-proof your home for solar, a Sigenergy battery system could be the answer.

Store cheap energy. Use it when electricity is expensive. Take control of your energy bills.

Team Alba recently installed a 7.3 kWp solar array using Aiko 490W all-black panels — and there’s a reason we choose Aiko. They manufacture some of the most efficient solar panels available, and when it comes to equipment selection, we believe quality matters. AIKO Energy

A lot of people naturally focus on price, and that’s understandable. Nobody wants to be overpaying. But it’s important to think long term. Your solar investment will likely sit on your roof for 30+ years, so choosing the best-performing equipment makes the most sense.

If one quote is £600 cheaper, spread that over 30 years and it’s only around £20 per year difference. A higher efficiency system will comfortably outperform that in additional generation and savings year after year.

This is why we always say — compare apples with apples.

There’s usually more than one reason why a quote is cheaper. We hear it all the time from customers who are chasing the lowest price. Some companies are very sales-heavy and simply install whichever panel is on special offer that month.

At Alba Heat and Power, we focus on long-term performance, system design, and equipment we would happily install on our own homes.

More generation.
Better efficiency.
Higher long-term value.

That’s the difference quality makes. ☀️

Exactly this !

💰 Get Every kWh You Paid For! Why SigenStor is a Game-Changer for Your Home.

When you buy a home battery, you want to use every bit of power you store. Traditional systems often have hidden limits or get dragged down by weather and aging, but SigenStor changes everything:

🔋 100% Usable Energy
Unlike standard batteries that lock you out of their capacity, SigenStor supports a true 100% full discharge, letting you safely use every single kilowatt-hour you paid for!

🧠 Dedicated Battery Optimizer
Instead of modules blindly following each other, SigenStor gives each battery pack its own smart brain to manage itself independently, unlocking the peak performance of your entire system.

🚫 No Weak Links Dragging You Down
If one battery pack slows down due to winter cold or aging, our advanced architecture ensures it never affects the others—the rest of your system keeps running at full strength all year round.

Stop paying for energy you can't use. Upgrade to SigenStor and enjoy 100% power, 100% of the time! 🚀✨

WATTS UP ⚡️

Sometimes the difference between a good system and a great system comes down to the design stage.

Originally this install was planned using a ballast mounting system, but with the property sitting high up and exposed near the coast, wind loading restrictions meant we were limited to just 10 panels.

After a full redesign using a fixed mounting system with Sarnafil material, we were able to DOUBLE the solar array capacity and install:

☀️ 20 x Aiko 490W panels
⚡ 8kW Sigenergy inverter
🔋 9.04kWh Sigenergy battery storage
🚗 Sigenergy EV charger

All working together within one intelligent ecosystem.

Once the battery is fully charged from solar, excess generation is automatically diverted into the EV charger — maximising self-consumption and making sure as little energy as possible goes back to the grid.

More watts up on the roof = less watts bought in. 👌

This is exactly why system design matters. Future-proof, scalable and built to make the most of every bit of generation.

⚡️ WATTS UP ⚡️

This customer wanted their system done properly from day one — not just sized for today, but future-proofed for tomorrow.

🔋 16 x Aiko 490W panels = 7,840W on the roof
⚡️ 8kW Sigenergy inverter
🔋 9.04kWh battery storage

Maximising the solar array and correctly sizing the inverter was key. As energy demands grow, adding more battery storage is simple and hassle-free.

Because more watts up on the roof = less watts to buy in 💷☀️

Could we have thrown in a 3.6kW inverter and installed it in a couple of weeks? Absolutely.
That’s exactly what some installers are doing.

But at Alba, there’s no cutting corners.

These installs can take 12 weeks or longer for DNO approval, but we’d rather do it right the first time than leave customers limited later down the line.

From the very first conversation to handover day, we design systems around what YOU actually need — not what’s quickest or easiest for us.

⚡️ Watts Up? Alba doing it properly. ⚡️
