Buying battery storage

Considering battery storage?

Many people who install solar are now also installing batteries so they can store electricity generated by their solar panels for use when the sun isn’t shining.

A battery storage system can:

• Help reduce your reliance on electricity from the grid
• Maximise your solar panels by allowing you to capture solar energy that would normally be sent to the grid and save it for your own usage later in the day
• Offset the increased cost of power used during peak times
• Save money by storing energy from the grid overnight when prices are low to use during peak times when prices are high (depending on your power agreement)
• Provide electricity to your home during power outages (depending on your system)
• Reduce your exposure to future electricity price rises
