Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Solar PV System
Are you tired of having to rely on the grid to power your home during non-sun hours or during power outages? Then it’s time to consider battery storage. With battery storage, you can store excess energy generated by your solar panels and use it later when you need it the most. This not only makes your home more self-sufficient, but it also helps you save money by reducing your dependence on the grid.
What is Battery Storage?
Battery storage is a system that allows you to store excess energy generated by your solar panels for later use. This energy is stored in a battery and can be used to power your home during non-sun hours or during power outages. This not only makes your home more self-sufficient, but it also helps you save money by reducing your dependence on the grid.
How Much Does Battery Storage Cost?
We have a wide range of battery storage systems to suit any home and system. It is important to get the ideal storage system for you home to ensure your system is as efficient as possible and you are not overpaying for a system that will not be fully used. Speak to one of our experts today, we stock multiple battery storage brands to ensure you can find the perfect system for you home.

Battery Storage FAQs
Let’s answer some of those frequently asked questions we often get about Battery Storage. If you have a question and it’s not covered here get in touch, we’re always happy to help!
Solar battery storage captures excess energy from solar panels during sunny periods. This surplus power is stored in a battery system, ready for use when needed. When demand surpasses solar generation, the stored energy is converted to power your home via an inverter. This reduces reliance on the grid and potential energy costs. It’s an efficient way to utilise your solar energy, providing backup during outages and optimising consumption.
Particularly useful in varying electricity pricing setups, solar battery storage empowers greater control over energy use. Ultimately, it enhances the sustainability and resilience of your energy supply, contributing to a greener future.
The amount of energy a solar battery can store depends on its capacity, which is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Common residential batteries range from around 5 kWh to 20 kWh. Factors like the battery’s size, technology, and the energy your solar panels generate influence how much energy it can store. Batteries can power your home during evenings or cloudy days, but their duration varies. A 10 kWh battery might run essential appliances for a few hours. To determine the right size for your needs, consider your energy consumption and desired backup duration.
Solar battery storage’s suitability for your home depends on factors like energy usage, solar panel capacity, and local conditions. If you experience frequent power outages, seek energy independence, or have time-of-use rates, a battery might be beneficial. Assess your daily energy consumption and solar panel output. A larger solar array could generate excess energy to store. Geographic location matters, as more sunlight enhances battery charging. Financially, consider installation costs and potential savings. Consulting a professional can provide tailored advice based on your specific situation, helping you decide if solar battery storage aligns with your home’s needs and goals.
The cost and return on investment (ROI) of a battery storage system depend on various factors. Battery costs include equipment, installation, and potential additional components. ROI hinges on electricity rates, grid connectivity, and incentives. Higher electricity prices and favourable incentives often yield quicker ROI. Battery lifespan affects long-term savings. Calculating ROI involves comparing potential energy bill savings against upfront costs and factoring in incentives or rebates. While costs have been decreasing, it’s essential to analyse your energy usage, local regulations, and financial situation. A professional assessment can help determine if a battery storage system offers a financially viable and sustainable investment for your circumstances, get in touch to discuss this in more detail.
