Battery storage installation
Often coupled with solar panels, battery storage is becoming the norm in newer homes up and down the UK. We can install these systems on both new builds and older houses, giving you the opportunity to store energy.
Battery storage systems are growing in popularity in line with more consumers and businesses investing in Solar Panels, Electric Vehicles and Heat Pumps. It makes sense to store the energy you generate.
What is battery storage?
A battery storage system is where batteries charge during the day when being fed energy from another source such as wind or solar, and store and release power for consumption around the clock or on cloudy days.
Battery energy storage is particularly effective when combined with solar energy, because solar energy storage mitigates the intermittent nature of renewable power and guarantees a steady supply of electricity.
How do they work?
Batteries receive electricity a renewable energy source like solar panels or wind turbines and subsequently store it as current to then release it when it is needed. When combined with software, a battery system becomes a platform that couples the energy storage capacity of batteries with the intelligence needed to deliver advanced management of energy consumption.
This makes batteries a tool in the effort to offset climate change, because they enable a more flexible way of using energy that lets the user adapt to dips and peaks in demand and supply.
What are the benefits of battery storage?
Environmental gains
Installing a battery storage system in a home or businesses powered by renewable energy reduces pollution, thereby contributing to the energy transition and combating the effects of global warming.
Lower energy costs
Storing low-cost energy and consuming it during peak periods when electricity rates are higher allows a user to shift consumption and avoid higher charges, saving money. The savings are magnified when combined with solar power, which is free.
Less dependent on the grid
Battery storage systems guarantee a continuous energy supply, even at times when the energy grid is unstable due to peaks in demand or extreme weather.
“Always on” supply
The sun is not always “on.” A battery storage system works round the clock, and therefore compensates for any fluctuations in solar energy supply by storing any excess power in the system.
Resilience
A battery storage system provides emergency backup in the event of a power outage, guaranteeing business continuity.
