Battery Storage
A battery lets you store the electricity your panels generate during the day and use it in the evening, when you need it most. Compare free quotes from vetted installers for battery storage — added to a new system or retrofitted to existing panels.
Why Solar
Most homes use the bulk of their electricity in the morning and evening, while solar generates most during the middle of the day. Without a battery, a lot of that generation gets exported rather than used at home.
A battery closes that gap: it stores surplus daytime energy so you can use it after dark, meaning you buy less from the grid. Some homeowners also use batteries with off-peak tariffs, charging cheaply overnight and using stored energy at peak times.
Benefits
Store surplus daytime energy instead of exporting it all.
Run your home on your own stored solar energy after dark.
