Is Solar & Battery Storage Right for Your Home in 2025?

Published: 06/05/2025 | Author: Volt-Age

With energy costs remaining unpredictable and environmental concerns growing, more UK homeowners are asking the same question: “Is solar really worth it?”

The answer? More than ever, yes.

A Smart Shift in Home Energy

Solar panels on their own are powerful. But when paired with a battery storage system, they become a complete energy solution. You can store the electricity your panels generate during the day and use it in the evening — when grid electricity is most expensive — or even during a power cut.

That means:

  • Fewer units bought from the grid

  • More control over your home energy

  • Reduced exposure to future price hikes

Beyond Savings: Future-Proofing Your Property

Installing solar with storage isn’t just about short-term savings (though £500–£1,000 per year is typical). It’s about future-proofing. You’re adding value to your home, improving energy security, and taking a major step toward net zero living.

And with 0% VAT on domestic systems until 2027, your upfront costs are lower than ever.

Solar Is Getting Smarter

Today’s systems come with intuitive apps that let you see your usage, track savings, and even time your battery charging around your energy tariff. Some homeowners now combine their solar + storage system with electric vehicle (EV) charging — all controlled from their phone.
