Solar battery storage installation

Battery storage for solar holds onto the excess electricity generated during the day. Most solar panels produce more than the average household uses daily, especially if occupants are out at work and very little power is required. To stop that surplus electricity from going to waste, batteries store it ready to use when darkness falls and the demand for power rises.

Without batteries, your property would switch to using the National Grid’s electricity in the evening and through the night. It’s more efficient – and cost-effective – to charge batteries using solar power in the daylight and then switch to using stored battery power after sundown.

As technology improves, more solar battery systems are available.
The best one for your home or business will depend on your usage and the energy your panels produce. Finding the correct solar battery doesn’t need to be complicated – call our expert team for advice. We’ll guide you through the options and design the ideal system for your circumstances.

We can often install a standalone battery storage system and connect it to your solar panels. However, with some solar systems, this can’t be done. The best way for us to tell if it’s possible would be to check what equipment you have. We’re happy to do this and provide advice.

You can have solar panels installed without having a battery. You’ll still be able to use renewable energy daily and reduce your electricity bills. Without a battery, you’ll probably still need National Grid power when there’s no daylight.

Solar battery lifespan varies depending on the battery’s capacity and your property’s energy consumption. Generally, a fully charged battery can power essential appliances through the night. However, the exact duration depends on factors like battery size and efficiency, and your usage pattern. It’s vital to gauge your nightly energy requirements and select a battery that aligns with your needs.

Absolutely. Solar batteries support the broader goal of clean energy by efficiently storing renewable solar power. By reducing dependency on the National Grid, which often sources power from fossil fuels, you’re promoting a greener, more sustainable energy approach. Many modern batteries are also designed with recyclable components, further minimising their environmental impactlar battery lifespan varies depending on the battery’s capacity and your property’s energy consumption.

While there’s an initial investment, solar battery storage can lead to substantial savings over time. By storing excess energy during peak utility rate periods or when the sun isn’t shining, you can reduce – or even eliminate – your reliance on the National Grid. This means fewer electricity bills, and with rising energy prices, the savings can accumulate significantly over the years.

One of the great advantages of solar battery storage is its ability to provide power during outages. When the National Grid goes down, homes with solar battery storage can still access the energy stored in their batteries, ensuring continuous power to critical devices and appliances. Knowing you won’t be left in the dark during unexpected power cuts is an excellent way to guarantee peace of mind.
