What is Solar Battery Storage?

Solar panels may not always produce electricity when you need it most. You can sell excess power back to the grid and purchase electricity from the grid during peak usage times. However, a home battery storage system can provide a more independent energy solution.

By storing excess solar energy for later use, you can reduce your reliance on the grid, especially during evening and nighttime hours. While battery storage often complements solar panels, it can also be used with electricity tariffs that offer cheaper rates during off-peak times.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Battery Storage System

Here are the top three things to keep in mind when choosing a battery storage system for your home. Don't worry if you're not sure what type of system to choose - our team of experts is on hand to help answer all the questions you may have and give you honest, fair advice and recommendations.

  • System size: The size of your battery storage system should be based on your energy consumption and the amount of solar energy you generate.
  • Battery chemistry: The type of battery you choose will depend on factors such as cost, efficiency, and lifespan.
  • Installation requirements: Consider the space available for your battery storage system and any necessary permits or regulations.


What are the benefits of installing a solar battery?

Many benefits come with installing a battery storage system, including:

  • Increased energy independence: With battery storage, you can store excess electricity and use it during peak demand times, reducing reliance on the grid.
  • Optimised solar energy use: Maximize the use of the energy generated by your solar PV system, using stored electricity during cloudy days or at night.
  • Backup power: In case of power outages, a battery system can provide backup power, ensuring your home remains powered during emergencies.
  • Cost savings: Store energy when it’s cheapest and use it when energy costs are higher, reducing your overall energy bills.
