Battery storage systems let you store excess solar energy generated during the day — so you can power your home even after the sun goes down. At Home and Energy Solutions, we offer reliable, efficient battery solutions that help you maximise your solar investment, reduce reliance on the grid, and take full control of your energy use.
Battery storage is revolutionising the way we use renewable energy. It allows you to store the excess power your solar panels generate and use it when you need it most—whether that’s at night, during peak electricity hours, or even during a power outage. By making the most of your solar energy, battery storage helps reduce your reliance on the grid, lower your energy bills, and increase your energy independence.
With a battery system, you’re not just using solar energy—you’re optimising it. By capturing energy during peak sunlight hours and storing it for later use, you can dramatically reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying reliable, on-demand power. It’s a smart, forward-thinking solution that supports a cleaner, greener future.
Even better, smart energy tariffs mean you can charge your battery when electricity prices drop—as low as 1p per kWh, or even negative in some cases—meaning you could actually get paid to charge your battery! Your system can be configured to take advantage of these low-price windows, helping you save even more.
In the UK, combining battery storage with solar panels can lead to substantial reductions in your energy bills. While actual savings vary depending on your energy usage, battery capacity, and solar system performance, many households can cut their electricity costs by up to 50%.
For the average UK home, this could mean saving hundreds of pounds each year. The typical payback period for a battery storage system is between 5 and 10 years, depending on factors such as location and energy consumption. And with energy prices on the rise, the potential for long-term savings is only increasing.
Maximise Your Solar Energy Usage:
Without a battery, any excess solar power your system generates during the day is typically sent back to the grid. With battery storage, that energy can be stored and used later—such as in the evening or on cloudy days—reducing your reliance on the grid and lowering your energy bills.
Avoid Peak Electricity Rates:
Using stored energy during peak times, when electricity prices are at their highest (usually in the evening), can lead to further savings. Many energy suppliers offer time-of-use tariffs, where electricity is cheaper during off-peak hours. With a battery, you can charge up when rates are low and use the stored power when rates rise, helping you cut costs even more.
At Home and Energy Solutions, we help UK homeowners take control of rising energy costs with tailored solar solutions designed to save money and support a greener future.
