Battery Storage
Store energy to use on rainy days!
Battery storage is strongly advised when you decide to install solar panels. Energy generated by the sun can be stored to use when you are at home, in the evenings after dark, or on cloudy days.
Storing power in a battery also allows you to sell back extra energy to the National Grid, saving you money.
Extra power can also be converted into energy to run your air source heat pump and warm your house, or to charge up your electric vehicle.
FAQs
Q: How do I claim back money from the National Grid?
A: When we install your system, we will send details of your installation and your MPAN number to the National Grid. They will generate a new MPAN number to share with your energy company so that you can start using a flexible tariff. This enables you to use energy generated in the day during the night, when energy is cheaper on some tariffs. We can help you to choose an energy company and tariff that is right for you.
Q: Is it worth buying further batteries?
A: If you are not using all of the energy generated by your solar array, another battery will save energy. One customer said he would like to fit another battery just to use more of the night-time tariff energy, making further savings.
