A Necessary Upgrade for Every Solar Power System

DOVER, U.K. - Feb. 18, 2025 - PRLog -- Looking to install both solar panels and a battery? Smart move. Batteries store the power your panels generate but don't use during the day. You can then use it later when grid energy is expensive to cut costs significantly. This means you're not just saving money—you're using energy more efficiently.

Yes, solar batteries aren't cheap—around £5,000 on average—but they let you maximise your system's potential. A typical household could save £582 a year, with £130 of that coming directly from battery usage. Over time, those savings can add up, helping to offset the upfront investment.

Additional Benefits of Using Energy Storage Batteries

With the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can also sell surplus power back to the grid. While it's usually better to use stored energy, exporting gives you options. Some SEG tariffs even reward you for exporting at peak times, offering flexibility and potential income.

Off-peak charging tariffs are another bonus. Batteries let you buy cheap energy at night and use it during the day, further cutting bills. Plus, if you own an EV, a solar battery can double as a charger, reducing costs and dependence on the grid.

For environmentally conscious households, batteries are transformative. They reduce your carbon footprint, increase energy independence, and future-proof your home against rising energy costs. If you're serious about smart energy use, a battery is worth considering.
