Battery Storage

With the cost of electricity constantly rising and most households out all day at school or work, battery storage solutions are taking the UK market by storm.

Customers are keen to harvest any excess energy their solar PV systems are producing and store it in their batteries to make use of it as required.

There are also options with utility companies like Octopus Energy or Eon, paying you as the homeowner in savings for storing energy for them when you have the capacity to do so.

Adding a battery could mean that the bulk of the electricity used by your home is low-carbon energy generated from the sun, meaning you’ll import less electricity from the grid, saving you money on your energy bills!

Energy flexibility – Battery storage enables users to store excess energy generated during peak hours and use it during periods of high demand or when sunlight is unavailable. It also helps balance energy consumption and reduce the strain on the grid during peak usage times.
Resilience and reliability – Battery storage can act as a reliable backup during grid outages and support the creation of microgrids, fostering self-sufficiency and reducing vulnerability to disruptions.
Integration with renewable energy – Battery storage enhances the effectiveness of renewable energy systems by mitigating the intermittency of sources like solar and wind, enabling 24/7 clean power.
Grid stability and future grids – Battery storage systems contribute to grid stability by providing rapid response and frequency regulation services, helping balance supply and demand. It also paves the way for decentralized energy systems, where consumers become prosumers, actively participating in energy production and distribution.
Environmental impact – Battery storage assists in reducing carbon emissions by facilitating the integration of renewable energy and optimising energy use. It also eases pressure on power plants during peak demand, potentially leading to a decrease in the use of fossil fuel-based energy sources.
