HOME BATTERY STORAGE

Store Your Solar. Power Your Evenings.

A home battery stores daytime solar so you can use it after dark. We size storage around your electricity use and the compatible system. Backup power is included only where expressly agreed in your order.

Why add a battery

What Storage Does for You

Use more of your own solar

Store daytime generation instead of exporting it cheaply, and use it when you actually need it.

Dodge the evening peak

Run your home on stored energy through the most expensive hours of the day.

Charge off-peak

Top up from cheap overnight tariffs and use that energy when rates are high.

Backup in an outage

Where agreed in your order, backup can support specified circuits within the system’s operating limits.

How it works

From Rooftop to Evening in Three Steps

01
Charge by Day

Your panels power the home and any surplus charges the battery instead of being exported.

02
Use by Night

As the sun drops, your home draws from the battery rather than buying expensive grid power.

03
Top up Smart

If needed, the battery tops up from cheap off-peak electricity, ready for the next peak.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a home battery worth it?

For most homes, yes. A battery lets you store cheap or free daytime solar and use it during the expensive evening peak, so you buy far less from the grid — which shortens payback and increases how much of your own energy you use.

What size battery do I need?

We size storage around your electricity use, solar generation and tariff, using compatible 5 kWh or 8 kWh modules. The exact model and capacity are confirmed in your quotation. Bedroom count alone does not determine the right battery.

Can I add a battery to existing solar panels?

Yes. You can add storage to an existing solar system on its own, and we'll set it up to charge from your panels and cheap off-peak tariffs.

Does a battery give backup power in a power cut?

Only where backup is expressly included in your order. We confirm which circuits the agreed system supports and its power, duration and operating limits. A battery installation does not automatically provide backup.

“The install team turned up on the coldest, wettest day in months and just cracked on, all in good humour, then took me through the monitoring app. Brilliant.”

“Red who sold us the panels was brilliant and never pushy, and Josh in operations has been so helpful since. We're already saving and earning from exports.”
