Use more of your energy at the time you need it.
Battery storage can add flexibility to a solar setup by storing suitable excess electricity for later use. The right battery depends on the solar system, usage pattern, equipment configuration and what you want the system to achieve.
Battery storage should be sized around the job.
Storage is most useful when it is considered alongside how the property generates and uses electricity. Bigger is not automatically better, and the right setup depends on the rest of the system.
Important: standard solar and battery installations should not be described as providing power-cut backup unless the system has been specifically designed and installed for that function.
Think about when the energy is available — and when you want to use it.
Shift energy through the day
Store suitable surplus generation and use it later rather than only at the moment it is produced.
Use more of your solar
A correctly planned battery may help increase the proportion of generated electricity used on site.
Plan the whole system
Battery capacity, inverter choice, tariffs and usage pattern should be considered together.
Understand backup separately
Power-cut backup is not automatic with every battery. It depends on equipment, design and installation.
Not sure whether a battery makes sense?
Include your battery interest when you start a quote. It can then be considered alongside the property, current or proposed solar system, tariffs, usage pattern and the outcome you are aiming for.

Plan solar and storage as one energy system.
Start with the property, how electricity is used and what you want the system to achieve.
