Smart Electrical Energy Storage Solutions for your Home

What is a Home Battery?

A short introduction to electrical home energy storage

A home energy storage battery, or Energy Storage System (ESS), is a system that stores excess electricity for later use, usually from renewable energy sources like solar PV panels, but also by scheduling itself to store cheaper off-peak electricity from the grid.

A battery provides greater energy independence and control, allowing homeowners to use their own low-carbon energy, avoid high peak-hour electricity costs, and also to have a backup power source during blackouts.

Virtually all home batteries use lithium-ion batteries, integrated into compact all-in-one units with an inverter or as modular DC systems combined with hybrid inverters.

How Battery Storage Works

A simple guide explaining battery storage

Daytime

In the large majority of homes, your battery is connected to your solar panels which generate electricity. You use what you need, and any excess is stored in your battery instead of going back to the grid.

Evening/Night

When your panels aren’t generating energy, your home draws on stored energy from the battery.

Peak Hours

Your household uses stored power when electricity prices are highest, maximising your savings.

Power Cuts

If your system supports backup, your battery can keep your lights and essential appliances running.

Why Choose Battery Storage with Solar PV?

Adding battery storage to your solar PV can unlock the full potential of your solar investment
  1. Maximise Your Solar Power

Without storage, any unused electricity your solar panels generate is sent back to the grid. With a battery, that valuable energy is stored for later use, giving you far greater control and ensuring you benefit from every unit of power your system produces.

  1. Bigger Savings on Energy Bills

Electricity prices are unpredictable and continue to rise. By storing your solar energy and using it during peak hours, you reduce the amount of power you need to buy from your supplier. Over time, this means lower monthly bills and a quicker return on your investment.

  1. Greater Energy Independence

With solar and battery storage, you’re not at the mercy of energy companies or their price hikes. You can rely on your own supply of clean power, making your household more self-sufficient and resilient.

  1. Reliable Backup in Power Cuts

Many modern battery systems can provide backup power, keeping essential appliances like lighting, Wi-Fi, and refrigeration running even when the grid goes down. That peace of mind is priceless for families.

  1. Eco-Friendly and Future-Ready

Storing and using more of your own renewable energy means fewer carbon emissions. Plus, with the rise of electric vehicles and smart energy tariffs, battery storage is the perfect way to future-proof your home.

Battery & Solar PV Maintenance

Required just once every 3 years for optimum efficiency
aes-solar-pv-panels-1

One of the main benefits of Solar PV systems is the lack of moving parts which in turn means they don’t require a huge amount of work to keep them running efficiently. However we would recommend that a system health check is carried out every 3 years as systems that are not inspected over this time period could be up to 30% less efficient than when they are new.

Our Solar PV Maintenance packages will ensure that your system is safe and performing to its full capability.

During a maintenance visit we would check the following:

  • Check the inverter for error messages
  • Check the functional operation switches
  • Do a complete shut-down test of the invertor
  • Do a full test and inspection on the AC side of system
  • Carry out a visual check of the modules and advise should panel cleaning be required
