Get Free QuotesWhat is Solar Battery Storage?
Solar battery storage systems allow you to store excess electricity generated by your solar panels during the day for use at night or during periods of high demand. Instead of exporting surplus energy to the grid at low rates, you can save it and use it when electricity prices are higher.
Modern battery systems integrate seamlessly with your existing solar panel installation and can significantly increase your energy independence while reducing your electricity bills.

Common Questions
Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?
Yes, most modern solar systems can be retrofitted with battery storage. An installer will assess your system's compatibility.
How long do solar batteries last?
Modern lithium-ion batteries typically last 10-15 years and come with warranties of 10 years or more.
What size battery do I need?
Battery size depends on your energy usage, solar generation, and goals. A typical home uses 8-10 kWh per day, so a 10 kWh battery is often suitable.
Are there grants for solar batteries?
While there's no specific battery grant, batteries benefit from 0% VAT when installed with solar panels. Some local schemes may offer support.
