What a battery actually does
Generate and store your own electricity
Solar panels only generate while it’s light, but most homes use electricity all day and into the evening. A battery stores the electricity your panels generate that your home isn’t using at the time, so you can use it later instead of exporting it to the grid.
Daytime
Your panels power your home, and the electricity you don’t use straight away charges the battery instead of going to the grid.
Evening
Use your stored solar electricity after the sun goes down, and rely less on electricity from the grid.
Overnight
On a time-of-use tariff, a battery can also charge from the grid overnight, ready for the morning.
Whether you’d like a complete solar and battery system or a battery for panels you already have, our team will guide you through the process and help you find the right system for your home. If you’re only looking at panels for now, see solar panel installations. Wondering about price? Read what a solar battery costs in the UK.
