Solar Battery Storage

What are Solar Batteries?

Solar battery storage is an innovative solution that allows homeowners to store excess energy generated by their solar panels during the day, so it can be used later when needed. This technology ensures you have continuous access to clean, renewable energy—even after the sun sets.

With a modern solar battery system, your home automatically switches to stored energy as daylight fades, providing uninterrupted power, even during blackouts or grid outages.

Maximize the benefits of your solar panels and enjoy 24/7 access to renewable energy with a reliable solar battery storage solution.

Unlock the Benefits of Solar Battery Storage

Key functions of battery storage:
Battery storage plays a crucial role in enhancing the effectiveness of solar energy systems.

Here are the key functions of battery storage:

9

Energy Storage for Later Use

The primary function of battery storage is to capture and store excess energy produced by solar panels during the day for use when the sun isn’t shining, such as at night or during cloudy weather.
9

Energy Backup During Power Outages

Solar batteries provide backup power in the event of a grid failure or blackout. When the grid goes down, your home can seamlessly switch to stored energy, ensuring continuous electricity supply.
9

Maximizing Self-Consumption

Battery storage allows you to maximize the use of the electricity generated by your solar panels. Instead of sending excess power back to the grid, you can store it for later use, reducing your reliance on the grid and increasing energy independence
9

Reducing Energy Costs

With a battery storage system, you can avoid relying on more expensive grid electricity, especially during peak times when rates are higher. This helps lower your overall energy bills, providing long-term savings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a solar battery if I have solar panels?

While you don’t need a solar battery to use solar panels, installing one allows you to store excess energy for later use, increasing your energy independence and reducing your reliance on the grid.

How long do solar batteries last?

The lifespan of a solar battery typically ranges between 10 to 15 years, depending on the type of battery and usage.

How much do solar batteries cost?
The cost of solar batteries can vary depending on the capacity and brand, but prices generally range from £3,000+ for residential systems, including installation. It’s important to consider potential savings on energy bills and available incentives when evaluating the cost.
Can I use a solar battery with my existing solar panels?
Yes, you can add a solar battery to your existing solar panel system. Our professional installer will assess your current setup and recommend the best battery option for your energy needs.
How much energy can a solar battery store?
The storage capacity of a solar battery is typically measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Most residential batteries store between 5kWh and 15kWh of energy, which can power your home through the night or during cloudy periods.
Do I need planning permission to install a solar battery?
In most cases, solar battery installation does not require planning permission, as long as it is installed on your property in a typical manner. However, if your home is listed or located in a conservation area, you may need to check with your local council.
How do I know if a solar battery is right for my home?
If you have a solar panel system and want to maximize your energy savings or increase energy security, a solar battery could be a great option. Our professional installer can assess your energy needs and recommend the appropriate battery size and system.
