Solar PV generates the most amount of electricity during the day, sometimes producing more energy than your home needs. You can stop “wasting” this excess energy by installing a Solar Battery system, so that any unused solar energy can be stored to power your home after dark, or when your solar panels aren’t able to draw enough energy from the sun.
Whether you’re thinking of installing Solar PV, or if you already have solar panels, get in touch to find out more about home batteries:
Some batteries are suitable for use even when you don’t have solar panels. They’re designed to store energy from the grid during the cheapest “off-peak” times of day, so you can power your home for less at peak times when the cost would usually be at it’s highest.
But if you’re thinking of installing Solar PV in the future, we can advise you on the best options to future proof your energy storage system.
Powerwall is a home energy storage solution which is designed to store energy for use at any time, giving you the capability to have uninterrupted power supply—even during black-outs.

Solar Batteries and Home Energy Storage Solutions
No you don’t need Solar PV to benefit from a home battery energy storage system. We offer a range of battery options which are suitable for use in homes with or without Solar PV.
But if you’re thinking of installing Solar PV in the future, we can advise you on the best options to future proof your energy storage system.
Most solar batteries should last around 10 years, but it depends on the type of battery you choose and the amount of usage during it’s lifetime.
All batteries come with a manufacturers warranty. The exact length of warranty depends on the type of battery chosen.
As part of our home survey, we’ll discuss the most suitable locations for your battery. We usually aim to install it indoors, close to your consumer unit, such as in a utility room, a large enough cupboard or under the stairs. But if we can’t find a suitable place inside, it’s possible to install outside as long as there’s a sheltered spot where it isn’t exposed to direct sunlight or rain, with some kind of roof/overhead cover.
This depends on the manufacturer, power and size of the battery you choose.
The actual size of a battery ranges from approximately
Height: 620 mm – 1150 mm
Width: 480 mm – 755 mm
Depth: 155 mm – 220 mm
We will help you decide on the best location for your battery/batteries as part of our home survey and quotation, as you will also need to allow for clearance space around the battery/inverter, as per the manufacturers specifications.
