Why Solar Batteries?

Power Your Home for Longer

Solar PV panels can create lots of energy, sometimes too much for a property to use at once.

And unfortunately, without a solar battery installed, any excess energy created by solar PV panels is sent back to the National Grid, rather than kept under your roof.

This means that while you may have had enough to survive the night comfortably, you’ll now be relying on your energy supplier to power your home.

However, with a solar battery, your home can use up any surplus energy sitting in the battery to power your home throughout the evening and night-time.

Some of the benefits of installing Solar Batteries include:

  • Slash your energy bills
  • Reduce your carbon footprint
  • Store the energy you produce

  • Use renewable electricity in the evening and night-time

  • Protect your home from power outages

  • Increase the value of your home
  • Energy Independence

How much can I save from installing Solar Batteries?

Increase your savings by up to several hundred pounds a year!

Adding a solar battery to your solar panel system allows you to store the energy you generate during the day and use it when you need it most—like in the evenings or on cloudy days. This can reduce your reliance on the grid and help lower your energy bills even further.

According to the Energy Saving Trust, a typical home with a 4.2 kilowatt-peak solar panel system can save between £210 and £514 per year on their energy bills.¹ By adding a battery, you can increase the amount of solar energy you use, potentially boosting your savings beyond this—especially if you use most of your energy in the evenings when electricity from the grid is more expensive.

Frequently Asked Questions

A solar battery stores excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day, allowing you to use that stored electricity when the sun isn’t shining. This means you can power your home in the evening or during cloudy days, increasing your energy independence and reducing reliance on the grid.

You may be eligible for a funded or subsidised solar battery installation if you meet the criteria under the ECO4 scheme or other government initiatives. Complete our online eligibility checker to find out if you qualify for help towards solar battery installation and maximise your renewable energy savings.

A solar battery helps you store and use more of the energy your solar panels generate, reducing your reliance on energy suppliers and lowering your electricity bills. It increases your energy efficiency, provides backup power during outages, and helps you make the most of your renewable energy system.

Solar battery installation typically takes one day. Sustainable Options Eco works with accredited installers to ensure a smooth, professional installation process with minimal disruption. Once installed, your battery system will seamlessly integrate with your existing solar panels to store and supply energy efficiently.
