OVERVIEW

Without storage, most homes use around a third of their solar and export the rest for a few pence. A battery keeps that power for when you need it. No solar yet? A battery still pays its way by charging on cheap overnight rates and running your home through the expensive evening peak.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can't see yours? Call us on 0161 746 8000.

Yes, in most cases. We check your inverter and may recommend a hybrid inverter for the best efficiency.

No. A battery can charge from the grid on cheap off-peak tariffs and power your home at peak times.

Most are warranted for 10 years or 6,000 cycles, and typically last 12–15 years in homes.

With a compatible hybrid inverter, selected circuits can run from the battery. This is set up at installation.

Usually in a garage, utility room or loft, or outside with a weatherproof unit. We agree the location at survey.

A battery retrofit usually takes one day.
