Benefits of installing battery storage

  • Battery storage allows you to store the additional electricity generated by your renewable energy system.
  • You can use this stored energy during periods of higher usage.
  • You can reduce your energy bills, by drawing on the stored energy during peak tariff periods.
  • If you don’t need to use the additional energy stored in your battery, you can sell it back to the grid.

Solar panels generate energy when there’s daylight, by storing the excess electricity in a battery, you can use this solar generated electricity when there’s no sun, or at night, instead of buying it from the grid. If you don’t install a battery with your renewable energy solution, you’ll switch back to using energy from the national grid.

Considerations when installing battery storage

Type of battery

We provide lithium ion batteries which are also used in consumer electronics. They’re lighter, smaller and longer lasting than lead acid batteries. They have a high energy density (kWh/kg), so can store more electricity for their size, and can discharge a larger amount of power at any one time.
