Add to your system and increase savings with solar battery storage

Solar panels coupled with solar battery storage make for the perfect package. Here’s why:

• Store your free solar energy generated during the day to use when needed.
• Reduce bills by around 90% by using the electricity you generate.
• Buy cheap electricity when demand is low e.g. ~8.5p/kWh for EV charging overnight.
• Sell energy back to the grid at peak times for higher rates e.g. ~24p/kWh for EV charging overnight (typically on a Smart tariff available from many energy providers).

Typically customers on a smart tariff save 92% on their electricity bills with a 5kWh battery – that’s 17% more savings than customers without one!

Which battery should I choose?

We are proud to be registered installers of Enphase IQ Batteries, the best on the market. These use lithium iron phosphate chemistry, which means they are safer and last longer. Because Enphase IQ Batteries are modular by design, you can easily add more capacity and grow your system over time. The IQ Battery 5P is the most powerful Enphase battery yet and is supported by a 15 YEAR GUARANTEE, which makes it a leader in battery warranty.

We will help you to match the size of your battery size to your home’s energy use. For most homes, a 5kWh battery will probably do the job nicely. If you use more energy or you’re thinking about getting an EV or heat pump – a larger battery could be worth the investment.

Smart tariffs

Unlike standard tariffs with the same unit rate all day, smart solar tariffs offer prices that change throughout the day and night, which you can use to your advantage.

• Get cheaper, greener energy – typically at night, when there’s less demand and plenty of renewables.
• Sell your solar when it’s super valuable – like dinnertime (4-7pm) when the grid needs it most.
• Help balance the grid – by putting clean energy in the system and reducing the need for fossil fuels.

We can offer suggestions as to which energy provider to switch to if your current provider doesn’t offer a smart tariff.
