Battery Storage
Power Your Home, Day and Night.
With the increase in domestic and commercial solar PV installation, many people are looking for ways to store their surplus energy. Battery storage allows you to store this surplus energy to use when your panels aren’t generating any electricity, meaning you don’t have to use energy from the National Grid.
There are different capacity bands of batteries, and we’ll ensure we find the right size for your property. Solar battery storage is a great way to increase your self-consumption and further lower your carbon footprint.
Benefits of investing in Battery Storage
Optimise usage
Solar panels generate 100% renewable energy. On sunnier days when you generate more electricity than you are using in that moment, you can store it in a battery. According to the Microgeneration Certification Scheme, the average household utilised 35-50% of their system without a battery, and with the inclusion of battery storage, this could rise to 80%.
Save on energy bills
In the evenings when there is little to no daylight, without battery storage you would have to pay for energy from the grid. Installing a battery allows you to store surplus energy generated in the day and use it at a later point in the day.
Energy Independence
Storing extra electricity, means you are less reliant on the National Grid for electricity. If there was to be a power cut, you would be less affected as you have your own energy store. Having a battery storage system increases your energy independence.
Lower your carbon footprint
Without a battery, you switch back to using energy from the National Grid. Using a battery means you use more renewable energy, lowering your home or your business’ carbon output.
Reduce pressure on the National Grid
The current pressure on electricity has never been higher with more electrical devices in use than ever before. Having battery storage means you are reducing the overall pressure on the National Grid which uses coal fired power stations.
Increased Property Value
A solar battery storage system is a significant asset that can substantially increase your property's value. Prospective buyers are increasingly drawn to homes that offer energy efficiency and sustainability. By installing a battery storage system, you demonstrate a commitment to modern, eco-friendly living, a feature that sets your property apart in a competitive market. The ability to reduce energy bills and ensure backup power during outages adds further appeal, making your home a more attractive and valuable investment.
