Having a battery means you can store energy generated by your solar panels as you won’t always need to use it straight away, as well as being able to buy and store energy from the grid when it’s available at a cheaper rate. Having this storage available helps you to get the most out of your solar panels and cut your bills even further!
The battery will store energy from your solar panels when they’re producing more power than you’re using in your home. This will then be available to use later on, such as in the evening when the sun has gone down.
All solutions will come with a partner app which allows you to monitor the performance of your solar and battery system. Within the app you can see how much energy is stored in the battery and how much is being consumed by your home.
Yes, you can use a storage battery to store electricity from the grid and draw on this electricity during power outages or during peak demand when prices are higher. Using a battery in this way can save you money on your energy bills. However, to get the most out of your battery we recommend pairing it with solar panels so you can charge your battery separately from the grid.
