Solar in Bedfordshire & Beyond
Take your energy self-sufficiency to the next level by installing a Solar battery storage system. A home battery storage system lets you capture electricity when it is readily available, typically from a renewable energy source such as solar PV.
The most common energy storage systems include electric batteries, heat batteries and thermal stores. With battery storage, you can power your home with green solar energy, even when the sun goes down, or you can purchase cheaper, overnight electricity and use it at peak times.
How Does Solar Work?
Solar captures and stores generated electricity or heat, allowing you to use the energy later when you need it most. Power lights and electrical appliances when required, saving money in the long run.
If you have solar panels, a battery system allows you to store any harvested solar electricity you don’t use during daylight hours. Instead of wasting the excess electricity, you can use it later when the sun isn’t shining.
The battery system automatically switches between functions – it knows when to store the excess energy and when to send the stored power for use in the home.
Home-energy storage will reduce the electricity you use from the grid and cut your energy bills.
Battery Storage System For Solar Panels
Without a battery storage system, much of the energy generated by your solar panels will be exported to the grid. If you tend to be out of the home during the daytime when solar panels produce the most energy, you will rarely use all of the energy produced directly. It makes sense to store that power for use in the evening when you are home. With a battery storage system, you’ll know that most of the electricity you’re using is renewable and home-generated.
It is not essential to install a battery storage system, it is an optional upgrade. With solar panels alone, you will still save money and reduce your carbon footprint, but battery storage helps maximise your solar energy usage.
Battery Storage To Benefit From Smart Tariffs
Smart tariffs offer consumers different energy prices for separate times of the day. Usually, you will be offered cheaper energy during off-peak hours, such as 10 pm-8 am. Peak hours, on the other hand, are more expensive.
Battery storage gives you the opportunity to store power from the grid during cheaper off-peak hours and use that energy during more expensive peak hours.
