Overview

Solar batteries, or solar power storage, allows you to store electricity generated from the sun through your solar panels, to then use in the evening or at a later date. Adding a solar batteries is a great way to use more renewable energy, utilising the power you generate yourself and decrease your reliance on the grid.

We offer solar batteries as part of our solar panel installation packages, or you can add solar batteries to an existing solar panel system.

Our dedicated team of solar and battery-storage experts will provide information and advice to help you choose the right power storage solution you need.

Adding Solar Battery Storage

Solar panels generate the most power during daylight hours, which is often when homes use the least electricity. Whilst this unused electricity can be sold back to the grid, you could benefit more by storing it in a solar battery and using the energy to power your own home.

A solar battery package maximises your own use of the low-carbon energy you’re generating from the sun. This means you’ll import less electricity from the grid, saving you money on your energy bills.

How do solar batteries work?

Solar panel batteries, also known as solar battery storage systems, work by storing the excess energy produced by solar panels (also referred to as solar PV panels) during the day, for later use when the sun isn’t shining. There are two main battery technologies currently used, lithium-ion and lead-acid, both of which are designed to handle the cyclic charging and discharging required for solar energy storage.

When sunlight hits a solar panel, the solar cells in the panel convert the sunlight into electrical energy in the form of direct current (DC). This DC electricity then flows to the inverter, which converts the DC into alternating current (AC) that can be used to power household appliances and devices. If the demand for electricity in your home is less than that being generated, then the DC can be taken from the solar panels and used to charge a battery.

During the night, when your home demands electricity your solar battery discharges to power your appliances and devices, so you’re reaping the benefits of solar PV long after the sun has set.

What is a Solar Inverter and how does it work?

A solar inverter is the component in your solar panel system which changes the direct current (DC) electricity captured by the solar panels, into alternating current (AC). AC current is the standard flow of electricity required to power your home appliances and connect to the National Grid. It is usually equal to either 120 volts or 240 volts depending on the country. Simply without a solar inverter in your system, you would be unable to power your home safely from your solar energy.

As a solar panel system is only as efficient as its weakest part, a high quality inverter is an essential part of your panel set up. Capable of maximizing the available energy being generated by your Solar Panels. The importance of inverters are often overlooked during the design stage,

What does a Solar Inverter do?

PV inverters are considered the brains of any Solar PV system. Their essential features include:

  1. The ability to convert direct current to alternating current.
    Maximising power output.
  2. Communicating with the National Grid.
  3. Giving feedback information about power production.
  4. Ensuring that your solar PV system is operating safely.

Can I add a battery to my existing solar panel system?

Yes, it’s easy to retrofit a solar battery to an existing solar panel system. Depending on the specifications of your existing system and how much storage capacity you require, we offer four sizes of batteries. And if you’re not sure which size of battery is best for you and your home we can discuss this with you at your consultation with one of our solar experts. And you don’t need to have bought your solar system from us to get one of our batteries.
Adding a battery for solar panels used to be very expensive but as solar batteries have become more common, costs have fallen. Costs vary depending on the storage capacity of the battery you need - we can retrofit a solar battery to a storage system from £4000.

Technical advances mean solar batteries are now lighter and smaller, creating more options for home battery storage. In fact, on average, a battery is similar in size to carry-on hand luggage which you might take on holiday.
They can be stored in a loft, garage, utility room, under the stairs or even outside – as long as it won’t be too exposed. Our solar experts can advise you on the best position in your home to store a solar battery.

Our Process

Our PV Industry Experience Enables Us To Provide In-depth Material Sourcing, Financing And Supply Chain Expertise For Every Step! One assessment claimed that, as of 2009, wind had the “lowest relative greenhouse gas emissions, the least water consumption demands.

Why Us!

Despite these diverse developments, developments in fossil fuel systems almost entirely eliminated any wind turbine systems larger than supermicro size. In the early 1970s, however, anti-nuclear protests in Denmark spurred artisan mechanics to develop microturbines of 22 kW.
