Smart battery solar systems can save you over £900 a year.
We can help choose the right battery to fit your home and energy usage, so you don’t pay for a battery that’s too big or not big enough.
Do I need a storage battery?
On a sunny day, your solar panels will soak up all that daylight enabling you to power your home. As the sun goes down, less solar energy is captured – but you still need to power your lights in the evening. What happens then?
Without a smart battery, you’d switch back to using power from the National Grid – which costs you money. With a smart battery installed, you can use all the extra solar energy captured during the day that you didn’t use.
So you can keep the energy you’ve generated and use it exactly when you need it most – or sell it – instead of it going to waste. Now that’s smart.
Solar with a battery
- Lets you store and use more of your solar
energy so you’re not reliant on the Grid - Gives you access to cleaner, greener energy
whenever you need it – even at night - Opens up access to the Smart Energy Guarantee (SEG) – paying you for energy you do not use
- Futureproof your home as more of
what we do is powered by electricity
Solar without a battery
- Only lets you use 20-40% of the solar
energy you produce - Means you will still be reliant on the Grid at times
- Means you continue to pay for energy
when it’s dark - Means your energy bills rise in line with
energy costs

FAQs
Will a smart battery work with my existing PV panels?
Yes. If you already have solar PV panels on your roof, we can supply and fit a battery so you can store and sell your solar energy. Simply book your free home survey and one of our experts will advise on a price and timings.
How long do smart batteries last?
We supply a number of different batteries. They come with a 10-year warranty – their lifespan far exceeds that of standard batteries you use on gadgets at home.
Do I need battery storage for solar?
You don’t have to add a smart solar battery. However, without one you will only be able to use the energy your new PV panels generate for your home at the time it is generated. When there is no solar energy to tap into, your energy supply will revert back to the Grid. A smart solar battery stores your energy ready so you can use it or store it for when you need it. How it works.
