Battery Storage

Storing Your Own Energy

Solar panels can create an outstanding amount of energy for you. But, if you do not use this energy it is often returned back to the grid. Battery storage stores your excess energy and uses it when you need it most, allowing you to make the maximum savings from your solar energy system. This is a great step towards energy independence and cuts your reliance on energy providers and fossil fuel consumption.

Solar power isn’t just eco-friendly, it saves you money too. By reducing your reliance on the grid, you’re able to power your home at no extra cost. And all it takes are solar panels and a battery system

How It Works

Working alongside your solar PV system, the battery store can be fitted as part of a new installation or retrofit. Energy is stored for later use – so you can utilise the excess electricity at your home instead of sending it all back to the grid.

Solar PV will of course still work without a battery storage. However, there are benefits to be had.

Benefits of Battery Storage

  • Assist you in using more of the electricity generated by your Solar PV.
  • Store excess electricity so you use it when you need it.
  • Environmentally friendly – lowering your carbon footprint and reducing your electricity costs.
  • Potentially increase the value of your property if you decide to sell.

Increased Self-Sufficiency and Protection From Future Power Cuts

Enhancing the storage and utilization of your self-generated electricity translates to reduced reliance on Grid-supplied power, fostering greater self-sufficiency.

Distinguished from lead-acid counterparts, lithium-ion batteries store energy on-site, providing a safeguard against potential power shortages and outages. This fortification ensures the uninterrupted operation of your lighting system even during such unforeseen circumstances.

Should a power outage occur, solar battery storage systems seamlessly detach from the grid, while solar panels persistently replenish the batteries. Consequently, you can maintain power access for essential appliances like lighting and select sockets, offering continued functionality during instances of power disruption.
