BATTERY STORAGE

Battery Storage allows excess solar energy to be intercepted before it is sent back to the grid.

 

This allows the electricity your system produces to be stored for use at a later time, whether that is in the evening when there is no daylight to generate power or perhaps a few days down the line when it’s overcast and your panels needs a generation boost.

​

Battery Storage ensures you use as much energy produced from the panels as possible. While sending electricity back to the grid allows you to generate a tax free income via the export tariff, it is more economical to use the power that your system generates. 

 

In the winter months, when there is not a substantial amount of excess energy generated from panels, customers are charging the batteries on the off peak economy 7 tariff overnight. This means the battery can then be relied on during the day and means avoiding paying the standard day time rate for electricity. Customers save 60% on their day time usage with this process allowing their system to become more streamlined and economical all year round.

 

It is possible to have our batteries installed without a PV system to charge on the off peak tariff overnight to reduce energy bills.
