Battery Storage

What is Battery Storage?

A Solar Battery Storage System integrates rechargeable batteries with Solar PV setups, enabling the storage of surplus electricity generated by solar panels. This stored energy becomes accessible during periods of low solar output, such as evenings, overcast days, or blackouts. The system comprises batteries, a battery management system regulating energy flow, and an inverter converting battery DC power to AC for household use. Whether as an addition to an existing solar panel array or part of a new installation, homeowners are embracing battery storage to maximise the benefits of their Solar PV solution. During daylight hours, surplus solar energy charges the battery bank, ensuring free electricity availability during peak demand hours and overnight.

Extended Home Energy Independence

Solar PV panels efficiently convert sunlight into usable power, often producing excess electricity. Without a solar battery system, this surplus energy is fed back into the National Grid. Consequently, when the sun sets, reliance on your energy provider becomes inevitable instead of harnessing the stored energy for your own use.

Grid Electricity Storage Solutions

Our energy storage systems feature intelligent functionality, enabling users to monitor energy consumption remotely. In addition to storing renewable energy, these systems can effectively store electricity purchased from the grid during off-peak hours, such as Economy 7, Octopus Go, or Agile tariffs. Leveraging overnight supply of off-peak electricity, you can conveniently charge your battery, optimising usage and savings.

Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Scheme Update

As of March 31, 2019, the feed-in tariff (FIT) scheme ceased accepting new applications. If you’re presently receiving FIT payments for an active renewable electricity system and decide to incorporate an electricity storage system, rest assured that your generation payments will remain unaffected.

Benefits of Solar Battery Storage

Solar battery storage offers several benefits, including.

Enhanced Energy Independance

By employing a solar battery, surplus energy generated by your solar panels can be stored for later use, reducing your dependence on the grid.

Lower Electricity Expenses

Storing energy during off-peak periods and utilizing it during peak demand hours can lead to significant reductions in your electricity bills.

Generate Revenue

Convert your surplus solar-generated electricity into revenue by selling it back to the grid, thereby offsetting the expenses incurred from installing the battery storage system.

Emergency Power Supply

Solar batteries serve as a reliable backup power source during outages, ensuring continuity for your lights and appliances. Inquire about adding an Emergency Power Supply (EPS) installation for enhanced resilience.
