Battery Storage
Battery Storage Made Simple
Investing in a Battery is a smart way to further reduce your electricity bill compared to Solar panels alone. Why? Excess power that is generated and not used during the day could be stored for when many households need it most – during the evenings, when the Solar panels are no longer producing. Rather than exporting the excess during the day and buying it back during the evening for an inflated price, the power will already be there ready for you to use to offset your evening usage.
Reduce Your Electricity Bills
Household electricity peaks mornings and evenings, not during the day. Our batteries store solar for use during peak times
Cut Your Grid Use
Installing our battery storage maximises your solar energy use, boosting independence from the National Grid.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Installing a battery storage unit is a proactive step to reduce carbon emissions and future-proof your energy use. No matter what happens, the sun will always rise and shine every day, providing a reliable source of clean energy.

Battery Storage FAQs
How does Battery storage work?
During the day, your solar panels power your home. Any unused energy is stored in the battery. When the panels stop producing power, the battery supplies electricity to your home before you draw from the grid.
Do I need a battery with solar panels?
We would always recommend you have a battery fitted as part of your solar installation, but these can also be added by us at a later date.
How much energy can a battery store?
Battery capacity is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Typical home batteries store between 5–15 kWh, depending on your household’s energy needs.
How long do solar batteries last?
Most modern Solar Batteries could last up to 10 years and beyond – they can come with warranties based on years, cycles or both.
Will a battery power my home during a power cut?
Some batteries can provide backup power, but not all systems include this feature as standard. Backup capability depends on the battery type and system design.
Can I add a battery to an existing solar system?
Yes. Many battery systems can be retrofitted to existing solar installations, subject to compatibility and available space.
Will a battery charge from the grid?
Yes. Many batteries can be set to charge from the grid during off-peak or cheaper tariff periods, helping you save more.
How much money can a solar battery save me?
Savings depend on your energy usage, electricity prices, and how you use the battery. Batteries help maximise self-consumption and protect against rising energy costs.
Are solar batteries safe?
Yes. Modern lithium-ion batteries are designed with advanced safety features and must meet strict safety standards.
Do solar batteries need maintenance?
No. Solar batteries are low maintenance and monitored automatically through an app or control system.
Where is a Solar battery installed?
Batteries can be installed indoors or outdoors.
Are solar batteries recyclable?
Yes. Most components of modern solar batteries can be recycled at the end of their lifespan.
