What Are the Benefits of Solar Battery Storage?

Battery storage helps you keep more of the electricity you generate, use affordable power when you need it most and stay protected during unexpected outages.

Store Surplus Energy

Save excess electricity generated by your solar panels and use it later, even when the sun is not shining.

Control Energy Usage

Store energy during off-peak periods and use it when demand and costs are higher.

Reliable Backup Power

Keep essential appliances running during power cuts for comfort, security and peace of mind.

Earn from Excess Energy

Export unused stored energy back to the grid through buy-back schemes to help offset costs.

Take control of your home energy

Store excess electricity, run your home, support EV charging and reduce reliance on grid energy with a battery system designed around your usage.

Battery Storage FAQs

How much battery capacity do I need?

Most homes suit 5kWh to 10kWh of usable capacity. We size the battery around your evening electricity use and how much surplus solar you currently export.

Can I add a battery to an existing solar system?

Yes. Retrofit batteries are common. We check your existing inverter and either pair an AC-coupled battery or upgrade the inverter where needed.

Can a battery power my home in a power cut?

Only if it is installed with a backup or EPS function. Not all batteries include it, so tell us if outage backup matters and we will specify accordingly.

Can I charge the battery from cheap night rate electricity?

Yes. With a time-of-use tariff the battery can charge overnight at the lower rate and discharge during expensive peak hours.

How long do home batteries last?

Most lithium batteries carry a 10 year warranty and are rated for thousands of cycles, typically retaining around 70 to 80 percent capacity at the end of the warranty term.

Where is the battery installed?

Usually a garage, utility room, loft or an external wall, in a ventilated location within a sensible cable run of the consumer unit.
