Use Your Excess Solar Energy With Battery Storage

Battery storage systems are high capacity batteries that are installed in homes to store excess electricity generated by solar panels or other renewable energy sources. This stored electricity can then be used to power the home at night or during other times when renewable energy is not being generated.

The cost of domestic battery storage has been falling in recent years, but it is still a significant investment. The typical cost of a battery storage system is between £4,600 and £8,800. The exact cost will depend on the size of the battery, the type of battery, and the complexity of the installation.

The amount you can save on your energy bills with domestic battery storage will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your battery, your energy consumption, and your tariff.

The lifespan of a domestic battery storage system will depend on the type of battery and how it is used. Lithium-ion batteries are the most common type of battery used for domestic battery storage, and they typically have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.

Domestic battery storage systems require very little maintenance. The batteries should be checked for signs of damage or corrosion every few years.

The process for installing domestic battery storage will vary depending on the installer. However, the typical process will involve the following steps:

• A site survey to assess your property and suitability for domestic battery storage.
• The design of a domestic battery storage system to meet your needs.
• The application for any relevant grants or subsidies.
• The installation of the domestic battery storage system.
• The commissioning of the domestic battery storage system.

There are a number of benefits to domestic battery storage, including:

• Reduced energy bills: Domestic battery storage can help you to save money on your energy bills by storing excess electricity for use when it is most expensive.
• Increased self-sufficiency: Domestic battery storage can help you to become more self-sufficient in terms of your energy needs.
• Reduced reliance on the grid: Domestic battery storage can help to reduce your reliance on the grid, which can help to improve grid stability and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
• Optional automatic power-cut back up
