Solar PV (Photo Voltaic) Battery Storage
Solar batteries, also known as energy storage systems, complement solar panels by storing excess electricity generated during the day for use later. This is especially useful in the evenings when energy demand is high and solar production is low. Solar battery storage provides greater energy independence, backup power during outages, and protection from ever-rising utility costs.
The installation of solar batteries is usually more complex and costly than solar panels on their own, requiring additional equipment, space, and expertise.
Solar Battery Storage for Off-Grid Living
For homeowners who want true off-grid capability or resilience during electricity blackouts, or those with unreliable grid access, solar batteries are an essential investment.
Solar Panel & Battery Combination
While solar panels and solar batteries serve different purposes, they work best together. Solar panels alone reduce electricity bills but still leave a reliance on the grid during non-sunny hours. Batteries add flexibility and security, but come with higher upfront costs.
Many people start with solar panels to gain immediate savings, and later add batteries as prices fall or incentives become available. The decision ultimately depends upon your goals: if the priority is affordable clean energy, panels alone are a great start. If the goal is energy independence and backup power, combining panels with batteries is the better solution. Additionally, studies have shown that properties with solar panels and battery storage systems tend to sell for more than homes without these features.
Contact us to find out how you can save money and reduce your environmental footprint via a solar PV battery storage system. We also install solar panels, and are solar battery installers for Cardiff, Newport, Abergavenny, Brecon, Hereford, and the surrounding areas.
Home Battery Storage Without Solar
If you can't install solar panels on your home, you can still install some Home Battery Storage to keep the electricity on in case of black-outs. This is extremely important for anyone needing electrically powered medical equipment or who is vulnerable and needs reliable heating. However, anyone can benefit from cheaper electricity with these batteries.
Our electricians can provide Home Battery Storage without solar in Brecon, Abergavenny, Newport, Cardiff, Hereford and the surrounding areas. These batteries can be charged up at off peak times, when electricity is cheaper & you can then use during power cuts or whenever you need it to save using expensive electricity from the grid at peak times.
