Is Battery Storage Right for Your Home?

by | 03/07/2025 | Blog

If you’ve already invested in solar panels, you’re probably enjoying lower energy bills and the satisfaction of generating clean electricity at home. But what if you could make even better use of your solar energy—and protect yourself from rising electricity prices in the process?

That’s where battery storage comes in.

⚡ Why consider battery storage?

Most homes generate more electricity than they use during the day—especially when the sun’s out and no one’s home. Without a battery, that extra energy is simply exported to the grid.

But with a battery system, you can store that free solar energy and use it later when your home needs it most—like in the evening when the lights, TV and kettle are all on.

Battery storage helps you:

  • Use more of your own solar energy

  • Cut your electricity bills even further

  • Reduce reliance on the grid

  • Future-proof your home against energy price rises

  • Keep essential appliances running during power cuts (with some systems)

🏡 Already have solar panels?

Great news—adding a battery won’t affect your existing Feed-in Tariff (FIT) payments. You’ll still receive the same generation payments for all the energy your panels produce.

And better yet, most retrofits are simple. There’s no need to replace your inverter or disrupt your current setup. Our expert team will assess your system and recommend a battery solution that works seamlessly alongside it.
