Why Upgrade to Batteries
Upgrading your existing solar system with a battery brings long-term financial and practical benefits. By storing excess energy and using it more intelligently, you can reduce your reliance on the grid, lower your energy bills, and make the most of your renewable investment.Store Energy for When You Need It MostSolar panels only generate electricity during the day, but most households and businesses use more energy in the evenings and at night. A battery lets you store surplus energy generated during the day and use it later, keeping your home powered when the sun isn’t shining. It can also cover load spikes, such as when multiple appliances are running or when the clouds roll over, helping you draw less from the grid.Take Advantage of Off-Peak TariffsWith time-of-use tariffs such as Economy 7, you can charge your battery overnight when electricity prices are low, then use that stored energy during the day when tariffs are higher. This simple strategy can significantly reduce your energy costs and give you greater control over how and when you use electricity.

Energy Storage Survey
Before any installation, we carry out a thorough survey of your existing solar system. This allows us to assess your setup, check compatibility, and recommend the most effective battery solution for your home or business. We will provide a no-obligation quote after the survey is complete.Battery Installation
We supply and install high-quality Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries to work seamlessly with your existing solar system. Following the initial survey, we will provide a clear proposal and quotation for the installation, ensuring your system is set up safely and efficiently.Inverter Upgrade
Some solar systems use traditional inverters that cannot connect directly to a battery. During our survey, we will identify your inverter type and advise if an upgrade to a hybrid inverter is needed. Our qualified electricians can carry out the upgrade and installation, with all costs included in your quotation.
