Pair your Solar Panels with a Battery Storage System for even greater savings...

A battery storage system will reduce your electricity bills even further when paired with a solar panel system.

Battery Storage Systems store the excess energy generated from a solar PV system. They are capable of monitoring the home’s usage of electricity. The internal battery management system will automatically divert the excess energy to your battery, rather than sending it back to the grid. The battery system will then distribute the stored energy when it detects a demand in the house greater than the PV system can provide or when there is no PV generation, providing there is sufficient energy stored in the battery.

This rapidly advancing technology will enhance your solar PV system substantially. It takes generating your own electricity to the next level and allows you to store power for when it’s really needed, when everyone is at home after dark and running multiple appliances for example. If you already have solar panels installed on your property, or you plan to install them in the future, battery storage must be considered.

Maximise energy savings

Battery Storage Systems store the excess energy generated from a solar PV system. The battery system will distribute any stored energy when it detects a demand in the house greater than the PV system can provide or when there is no PV generation, providing there is sufficient energy stored in the battery.

Increased energy independence

With a battery storage system, you can reduce your reliance on the grid. Becoming more self-sufficient, and providing you with greater energy independence. A battery will also power your home during a power cut if there is sufficient energy in the battery.

How does a Battery Storage System work?

Battery storage systems work by storing the excess energy produced by solar panels during the day, for later use when the sun isn’t shining. There are two main battery technologies currently used, lithium-ion and lead-acid, both of which are designed to handle the repetitive charging and discharging required for solar energy storage.

Can Battery Storage be added to an existing Solar PV system?

Yes, we can retrofit a Battery Storage System to your existing solar system. We can take a look at your existing PV system and how much storage capacity you require to work out which size battery you need.

Do I need solar battery storage with my solar panels?

While a battery is not essential for the operation of your solar system, adding a battery can enhance the system’s efficiency. If you want to use solar energy at night, you’ll need to install a battery. As most households use power at night, installing a battery reduces your reliance on the grid for electricity.

Benefits of a Battery Storage System

Store energy for when the Solar Panels are not generating
Accurately monitor and manage your energy consumption
Further savings on electricity bill
0% VAT if installed at the same time as Solar Panels
Increase energy independence
Further reduce your carbon footprint
Utilise more of your solar power
