Solar Power with Battery Storage

What is Battery Storage?

Battery systems are a key part of home energy storage and come in different configurations - AC and DC battery systems, each with their pros and cons. Battery storage systems can save you thousands of pounds a year.

Battery storage is a smart system that captures the extra energy your solar panels generate during the day and stores it for later use. Think of it like a savings account for energy – instead of letting excess power go to waste, you’re saving it for when you need it most.

For homeowners sick of rising energy bills and wanting to reduce their carbon footprint, this is the solution. It turns solar panels from a daytime-only energy source into a 24/7 power generation system and gives you control over your energy usage.

Is Solar Panel Battery Storage Worth It?

Battery systems are absolutely worth it. The majority of solar installation jobs in 2025 include a solar battery storage solution. Many solar users with an existing solar panel system have already added or are looking to add batteries. This is because the ability to store extra energy can make a big difference to your electricity bill and help you save money.

Why Battery Storage? Real benefits for real homeowners

Battery storage is a game changer for homeowners who want to get the most out of their energy savings and reduce their reliance on the grid. With a solar battery storage system you can store excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day and use it at night or during outages. You can have true energy independence and lower energy bills.

Cut Your Energy Bills

One of the biggest benefits of battery storage is the ability to cut your energy bills. By storing excess energy from your solar panels you can reduce your reliance on the grid and lower your energy costs. According to the UK’s Energy Saving Trust a typical household can save up to £400 per year with a solar battery storage system.

True Energy Independence

With a solar battery storage system you can have true energy independence. Imagine being able to power your home with your own renewable energy even during outages. You can keep your lights on, your fridge running and your family safe and warm even when the grid is down.

Is Battery Storage for You?

Solar battery storage is right for homeowners who:

Already have a solar panel system installed
Want to cut their energy bills
Want more energy independence
Live in an area with frequent outages
Want to reduce their carbon footprint

Solar Installation and Battery Storage Compatibility

If you’re getting a solar panel system installed it’s important to choose a system that is battery storage compatible. Look for a solar installation company that offers battery storage and can advise you on the best system for you.

What to Look for in a Battery Storage System

Choosing the right battery storage system can be confusing but here are the key things to consider:

Capacity: Choose a battery with the right capacity for your energy needs.
Type: Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular for solar battery storage.
Brand: Look for a well known brand with a good reputation for quality and reliability.
Warranty: Choose a battery with a full parts and labour warranty.
Compatibility: Make sure the battery is compatible with your solar panel system and energy management system.

By considering these you can choose a battery storage system that’s right for you and gives you true energy independence.

Why Battery Storage? Real benefits for real homeowners

Cut Your Energy Bills

Let’s talk money. Most UK homeowners are feeling the strain of rising energy costs. Solar battery storage isn’t just an eco-friendly option – it’s a financial one. By storing and using your own generated energy you can cut your energy bills by 30-40%. Knowing how much energy you have stored is key to maximise these savings and have a reliable energy supply.

True Energy Independence

Grid reliance is getting riskier by the day. Price hikes, supply issues and environmental concerns make energy independence more appealing than ever. With a solar battery storage system you’re not just a consumer – you’re a producer and manager of your own energy. This reduces your reliance on your energy supplier.

During outages your neighbours might be sitting in the dark but your home could be running smoothly on stored solar energy. It’s like having your own power station on your property.

Is Battery Storage for You?

Not every home is the same and neither are energy needs. Battery storage is perfect for you if:

You already have a solar panel system or are getting one installed
You want more control over your energy usage
You live in an area with high energy rates
Want to reduce your carbon footprint

How It Actually Works (In Plain English)

Here’s the process, in simple terms: A solar system which includes solar panels and battery storage generates and stores renewable energy.

Your solar panels generate energy during the day
Any excess energy is stored in the battery
When solar production drops (at night) you use your stored energy
A smart app lets you monitor and control it all
