Solar Battery

If you already have a Solar PV installation or are thinking of adding it to your home or business, a Solar Battery is a simple way to ensure you maximise your savings.

How Solar Batteries work?

Solar Batteries work by converting the DC energy being produced by your Solar Panels and storing it as AC power for later use. When you install a solar battery as part of your solar panel system, you are able to store excess solar electricity at your home instead of sending it back to the grid.

During the day:

  • The Solar PV system generates solar electricity.
  • The Battery Storage System will check if all the generation is being used to power your lights and appliances.
  • If you’re not using all the electricity that the Solar PV System is generating, then the system will ensure that any surplus energy is used to charge the battery.
  • Once the Battery is fully charged, if there is still more solar electricity being generated, this will be exported to the grid.

In the evening or at time of low solar generation:

  • The Solar PV Panels have a reduced output.
  • The Battery System can discharge the stored electricity, providing you with renewable-generated electricity at no additional cost.
  • Once the battery is discharged, if you need to use more electricity, you buy it from your electricity supplier.

Benefits of investing in Solar Batteries

Solar Batteries are designed to capture the surplus energy usually exported to the grid, storing it for use later in the day to save you from buying in electricity when the sun isn’t shining. They can be easily added to an existing PV system with minimal disruption.

Save even more money on your energy bills

By using stored solar energy in the evenings or when the sun isn’t shining, you won’t need to draw as much energy from your supplier, saving you even more money on your bills. Those homeowners on Economy 7 or off peak tariffs can manually charge their battery so that the cheap electric can be used during the day to reduce running costs.

Less dependence on the national grid

We hear in the news about the current condition of the National Grid and the uncertain future of energy supply. Battery Storage means that you can still power your home during a power cut

You’ll be less affected by price hikes

Energy suppliers are continually putting their prices up. By using your self-generated solar energy you will be drawing less energy from your supplier and will, therefore, be less affected by energy price rises.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Solar Battery system cost to install?

Solar Battery systems start from as little as £1,995 + VAT.

How much will installing a Solar Battery save me?

The answer depends on a number of factors:

  1. The size of your existing Solar PV System and how much electric you generate.
  2. How much of the generated electricity you export back to the grid throughout the day.
  3. The size of the Battery system.

How long does a Solar Battery last?

The Batteries have an approximate lifespan of 6,000 cycles which equates to 10-15 years.

When it comes to the end of its life can I replace the battery?

Yes, we can simply swap the old battery with a new battery with minimal disruption.

I already have a Solar PV system, will the Solar battery be compatible with my system?

Yes, the Battery System can be easily retrofitted onto exiting systems without any disruption to the Solar PV Generation.

Can I use the Solar Battery to charge other devices? (E.G. Hybrid Car)

Yes, the stored energy can be used to provide electricity to a whole range of appliances.
