BATTERY STORAGE

some key benefits of incorporating a battery storage system:

  • Increased Use of Solar Energy: With a battery storage system, you can store excess solar power generated during the day and use it during the evening or when the sun isn’t shining. This maximises your utilisation of solar energy and reduces reliance on the grid.
  • Lower Electric Bills: By utilising the stored power from your battery system, you can significantly reduce your reliance on electricity from the National Grid. This translates to lower electricity bills as you tap into your stored solar energy instead.
  • Energy Independence: Battery storage systems enable you to become more energy independent. With stored power readily available, you have greater control over your energy usage and aren’t solely dependent on external electricity sources.
  • Reduced Carbon Footprint: By utilising more of your generated solar energy and relying less on grid electricity, you further lower your carbon footprint. Battery storage systems contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
  • Integration with Other Components: Battery storage systems can easily integrate with other components of your energy infrastructure, such as EV chargers and water heater controllers. This allows you to utilise stored solar power maximising the renewable energy usage throughout your home or business

In addition to the aforementioned benefits, battery storage systems offer an added advantage of providing peace of mind during power cuts or outages. Many battery storage systems are designed to have the capacity to power critical services in your home or business, typically up to 2kW.

To explore the options and benefits of incorporating a battery storage system into your solar panel setup, we encourage you to reach out to us. Our team will guide you through the process, assess your specific requirements, and provide tailored solutions to meet your energy needs.

  • Integration with Other Components: Battery storage systems can easily integrate with other components of your energy infrastructure, such as energy diverters. This allows you to utilise stored solar power maximising the renewable energy usage throughout your home or business.
  • Charging on off-peak rates: Even without solar panels home or business battery storage offers cost savings by charging on cheaper off-peak electricity for use during on-peak hours further reducing your electricity bill.
  • Tax Savings: From February 2024 retrofitted battery storage will benefit from 0% VAT, this includes standalone battery storage and batteries added to an existing solar system resulting in an additional 20% saving.
  • Charging your electric car: Utilising battery storage to charge your electric vehicle not only has electricity cost savings for yourself but reduces the stress on the national grid aiding in the prevention of power cuts.

MYTHS

Old Inverter Incompatibility

Some people believe that newer batteries won’t work with old inverters.

However, around 90% of manufacturers produce AC coupled batteries, which can be added to new and existing systems, regardless of their age and type.

Solar Required For Battery

Solar Required for Battery

Contrary to popular belief, solar power is not a requirement to run a battery.

AC coupled batteries can be scheduled to charge from the grid during off-peak times and discharge during the day in peak times, effectively utilizing cheaper electricity when needed the most.

Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Limitation

Feed-in Tariff (FIT) Limitation

If you have a Feed-in Tariff (FIT) arrangement, you might think you can’t install a battery.

But an AC coupled battery is connected to the grid and does not directly affect your solar system or FIT meter readings, making it a suitable addition to further save on your electricity bills.
