Solar Batteries
We have seen a rise in battery storage since 2016 and in the last couple of years, demand is now overwhelming. The size of batteries has halved in the last five years and the costs have come down. It has become more accessible for most people to consider becoming less reliant on the national grid and store the energy they have harnessed from their solar panels.

Benefits of Solar Batteries
Energy Independence
Store excess solar power during the day for use at night or during power outages. Reduces reliance on the National Grid, especially during peak demand or energy price spikes.
Lower Energy Bills
Maximise the use of your own generated solar energy. Reduce the need to buy electricity from suppliers, especially during expensive peak periods.
Protection Against Rising Energy Prices
Hedge against fluctuating and rising electricity costs by relying more on self-generated energy, your own roof powers your property for decades to come.
Environmental Benefits
Further reduces your carbon footprint by using clean, renewable energy even after the sun goes down. Encourages broader adoption of green technologies in the community and all surrounding local areas.
Increased Property Value
Homes with solar and battery storage systems are often seen as more energy-efficient and future-proof due to an increased EPC rating and far lower property running cost on a monthly and yearly basis.
Efficient Use of Renewable Energy
Prevents surplus solar energy from being wasted or exported at a low rate. Increases the overall efficiency and return on investment of solar panels. The Government and Energy suppliers offer a SEG tariff of between 0.10p - 0.17p per kilowatt hour. This is subject to your own energy suppliers tariff not ours.
Grid Support & Flexibility
Reduces demand on the grid during peak times. Potential future earnings from participating in grid-balancing schemes or time-of-use tariffs. Some systems offer backup during outages, which is increasingly useful in areas experiencing grid instability, these are mentioned in a number of different terms so please ask how these could be implemented.
Choosing a Solar Battery
We start with your monthly/annual electricity consumption and the optimal number of panels (that fit and face in the right direction) for your roof. The battery size should balance the number of panels.
​
Then, consider why you want to install a battery. Do you have an electric vehicle? Would you like the peace of mind of having a more extended, uninterrupted power supply in the case of a grid blackout? Are you planning to charge the battery during off-peak electricity times?
​
​Don’t worry; we will review this and recommend the most suitable battery.
The choice is yours.
When do you want to take your first sustainable steps?
We look forward to taking you through every step of your renewable journey. Our aim is to listen, educate and facilitate your chosen design. We supply you with all the design features and a breakdown of what options will work best for your property.
