Solar Battery Storage

Solar panels require sunlight to create energy, so as soon as its dark you'll be back using power from the grid. Having a battery means the surplus solar energy can be fed into it. The batteries are charged during the day by means of solar energy. The surplus solar energy is fed into the battery rather than being exported to the National Grid. This means that the batteries are always fully charged so that these can be put to use at night-time.

    How Battery Storage Goes Hand In Hand With Solar PV

    Battery storage has become an added essential for homeowners with or interested in solar PV. Tesla Powerwall is the perfect solution for homes with surplus energy but nowhere to store it. Not only does it allow you to utilise unused energy instead of letting it go to waste, but it lets you use electricity on demand when it suits you. With varying weather conditions throughout the year, relying on solar PV alone is a chance you don’t need to take Battery storage was introduced as a backup power supply so customers can continue to use clean energy day and night without compromising their reliance on the grid.

    Are Lead Acid Batteries Better Than Lithium Batteries?

    There are two popular chemistry types that are used for batteries. Lithium-ion batteries and Lead-acid batteries. What are the differences between both? The physical differences between the two are in the names, Lithium-ion batteries are constructed with metal lithium and lead-acid batteries with lead. Of the two, Lithium batteries are considered to be of much higher quality by most. Whilst they can be costly they're far more efficient than lead which means the rate at which your battery charges will be a lot faster. However, if your looking for a cheaper battery lead could be the right the fit for you

    Storage Solution For All

    The Tesla Powerwall 2 is an adaptable battery storage device that has the option to be ground-mounted or wall mounted with a flexible install that allows you to have your Powerwall fitted externally or choose an indoor installation. Unlike many other battery storage devices paying that little bit more for quality means you get all the added extras that give you a long-lasting battery, you can rely on.

    Increase Self-Consumption with StorEdge

    In the summer, when there is adequate solar energy, the home can run up to 3 weeks at a time without relying on the national grid. The StorEdge solution helps home owners reduce their electricity bills while maximising energy independence from the grid. StorEdge is compatible with the Tesla Powerwall 2 and is based on a single SolarEdge DC optimised inverter that manages and monitors PV production, consumption and storage. Unused PV Power is stored in the battery and utilised when needed to maximise self -consumption.

    How Much Capacity Do I Need and What Does It Mean?

    With cutting carbon emissions and reducing energy bills becoming more and more important for households across the UK, battery storage is the perfect solution to accommodate your solar panels and help utilise your energy. In the event of a power shortage or on days when weather conditions mean your PV system isn't generating a sufficient amount of energy for you to use, battery storage ensures you can carry on generating electricity without any complications.

    The amount of capacity a battery has depends on what battery you're buying. We offer the Tesla Powerwall 2 which has an exceedingly high useable capacity of 13.5kwh to give customers ultimate flexibility with their energy storing. Note that the total capacity will be higher than the actual useable capacity. This is to stop batteries running down to 0% so they don’t get damaged internally.

    Can You Power A Home With Battery Storage?

    Powering your home on Battery storage is possible however, it involves multiple considerations to know whether its a smart and viable decision for your household. Some battery's have lower capacity loads than others so if your looking to run your home's electricity on stored solar energy you'll need to consider investing in one with a high capacity that gives you the freedom to do this. We offer two very different but equally intelligent battery storage solutions including the Growatt storage solution and the Tesla Powerwall 2. The Tesla Powerwall 2 has a high capacity of 13kWh over twice as much as their first-generation Powerwall. Before rushing into anything researching the different battery storage devices available on the market to get an idea of price ranges, benefits and possible problems you may encounter with them is important.

    How Many Batteries Are Needed To Power A House?

    This will depend on your households electricity usage per month and the size of your home. Most homes require no more than one battery storage device to power their home, however, if you're looking to store large amounts of energy for backup supply you may need to look into investing into more than 1 battery storage device. Talking to your expert installers will give you a better idea of how much energy you're using if your not sure and the size and amount of storage you'll need to power your home.

    How Long Does A Tesla Powerwall Last?

    Tesla power walls have a 10-year warranty. However, many customers have used their battery storage device for many years after this with no complications. It all depends on regularly your household use it as to whether youll get longer than 10 years out of your device. For instance if your only using your Tesla Powerwall as a backup in case of a power cut or anything similar then your it may still operate perfectly even after your 10-year warranty has finished, whereas if you’re a homeowner that regularly uses your Powerwall then its less likely to last over the 10 year warranty period than a Powerwall used less frequently.
