Battery Storage

Save Money & Gain Energy Independence

You wouldn’t throw away your hard-earned money.

So, why should you lose the electricity you generate from your solar panels?

But that’s exactly what you’ll be doing if you don’t opt for battery storage.

Choose to install modern battery storage for solar systems, and you can start taking advantage of the power your home produces.

Battery storage is the ideal way to save excess energy so it’s ready for when you need it – like evenings or cloudy days. Not only will this help you become more energy self-sufficient, it will save you a few quid on your bills too!

Minimise Reliance on National Grid

Drawing energy stored in your battery is the most effective way to avoid using power from the grid.

As you would expect, peak UK electricity rates kick in during the evening – when more people are at home and demand increases. Unfortunately, this is also the time when solar production is at its lowest, especially in autumn and winter.

By storing energy in your batteries, you can use it when you need it, reducing your grid reliance and the amount you pay during peak periods.

Experience a Greener Future

Battery storage helps you enjoy a cleaner and greener future by allowing you to harness renewable technologies when you need it most.

Store excess electricity during low-demand periods. Release it and use it during peak hours. Reduce your need for power generated from fossil fuels.

Switch to sustainable energy and you will help the environment by lowering your carbon emissions.

That’s a fact which cannot be ignored as we bid to reduce our reliance on fossil fuel-based electricity generation.

If you’re keen to invest in battery storage for solar systems, we recommend conducting a detailed energy evaluation to analyse your usage and ensure it can meet your daily demands.

FAQs

Do I have to install a battery?

To enjoy maximum efficiency from your Solar Panels, we would firmly recommend installing a battery with your system and 99% of the installs we carry out come with a battery.

You don’t have to have a battery, but not choosing this option means you will waste a lot of the energy you generate – and miss out on saving money.

When you’re out at work, your house is effectively on standby mode. But when you return, having a battery means you can still use the power that has been generated in your absence.

This is especially important in Winter and Autumn, when there is not as much daytime sunlight. Rather than sell the energy you create back it to the grid, you can store at in a battery and use it yourself.

What is the lifespan of the battery?

When the battery is completely full and emptied, that is classed as one battery cycle – and each battery is guaranteed for a minimum of 6000 cycles.

If you filled and emptied a battery every day of the year, you would expect to enjoy a minimum battery life of 16.5 years.

However, most households will probably only fully fill the battery and empty it at certain times of the year, such as early Spring, the middle of Winter and late Autumn. During sunnier periods of the year, the battery empties and fills up less because there is more daylight to keep it regularly topped up.

How much TV could I watch before my battery runs out?

It’s not easy to estimate this figure as the power consumption of a TV does vary depending on its size, brand and model.

But if it was a modern TV, which uses around 100 watts per hour (0.1 kW), a 10 kWh home storage battery could potentially allow you to watch TV for around 100 hours before becoming depleted.

Obviously, this is a rough estimate, and actual usage will vary based on many different factors, but it does provide a practical example of how much money you could save using solar panels and battery storage.

Can I add more batteries at a later date?

Each inverter is designed to operate with up to five batteries. If more people move into your home or you start to consume more energy, batteries can be added on at a later date. This may be necessary if you move into a home with an existing system and you want to upgrade it to suit your energy needs.

Will my system comply with UK regulations?

Every installation we carry out conforms to all UK electrical regulations.

When installing a new Solar Panel system, we make a G98 application to the national grid, to comply with the technical standards established by the Distribution Network Operators (DNOs). Basically, this means seeking approval from the DNO to connect your system to the grid.

The documentation includes technical details about the system capacity, the equipment being used and any protection measures to ensure it operates safely and reliably.

If you need a 5KW or 6KW inverter, we make a G99 application to the national grid, which may take a bit longer, as your system must meet specific technical requirements related to protection, control and monitoring.

In summary, these requirements are in place to maintain grid stability and prevent your system from overloading the grid with excess power during peak periods, known as under and overvoltage protection.

Will I receive any warranties?

To provide you with complete peace of mind, we offer a 12-year warranty on all Solar Panels and a 5-year warranty for each battery, which is guaranteed to maintain its performance level for 25 years.
