Are you looking for a way to maximise your renewable energy usage and further reduce your energy bills?
Solar Batteries are energy storage devices that store the electricity generated from solar panels for later use. They allow you to maximise the use of solar energy by providing a way to save excess power generated during the day, which can then be used at night, during cloudy periods, or during power cuts.
Battery solar systems are a perfect addition to your solar panel installation, allowing you to store excess energy and use it when you need it the most.
Are you looking to:
-
Reduce electricity bills
-
Invest in your money for a sustainable & cost effective future
-
Back up power
-
Energy Independence
-
Potentially boost property value
-
Low Maintenance
Thinking about solar batteries? Here's what you need to know before you buy:
Lower Your Energy Bills
By storing energy during the day when solar panels are most productive, you can use that stored power during the evening or at night, reducing the need for expensive electricity from the grid.
Energy Independance
Solar battery storage allows you to store excess energy generated by your solar panels, reducing reliance on the grid. This ensures a consistent power supply, even during outages or peak demand times.
Maximise Solar Efficiency
Without a battery, excess energy generated by your solar panels is sent back to the grid, often at a lower compensation rate. With storage, you can use 100% of the power your system produces.
Long-Term Investment
While their is an initial purchase and installation cost, solar battery storage systems typically lead to significant savings over time, making them a smart long-term investment.
Grid Stability & Environmental Impact
Storing and using renewable energy reduces the need for grid power generated by fossil fuels, lowering your carbon footprint.
Time-of-use Savings
For customers on time-of-use electricity plans, batteries allow you to store energy when rates are low and use it when rates are high, optimizing cost savings.
How Do Solar Battery Systems Work?
A solar battery system stores the excess energy generated by your solar photovoltaic (PV) panels
during the day. This stored energy can be used in the evening or during times when your panels
aren’t generating enough power. Instead of sending surplus electricity back to the grid, you can
use it to power your home, reducing your reliance on your energy supplier. During power
outages, a battery system can keep your essential appliances running, providing you with peace
of mind.
Is Battery Storage Right For Your Home?
Even in areas with less sunshine, a solar battery can significantly enhance the performance of
your solar system. Whether you’re generating excess energy during the day or want to ensure
you have backup power during outages, a battery solution can make a big difference by using
solar energy. Just like solar panels, most homes can install battery storage without the need for planning
permission. However, it's always best to confirm with your local council, especially if you live in a
conservation area or have specific property features.
