Battery Storage & Solar PV, a match made in heaven!

Updated: Aug 8, 2023

Solar PV systems are an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint and save money on your energy bills. But did you know that you can maximize the benefits of your solar PV system by installing a battery storage system? Here are some of the benefits of installing battery systems with a solar PV system for homeowners in Stratford-upon-Avon:

  1. Energy independence: With a battery storage system, you can store excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day and use it at night or during power outages. This means you can reduce your reliance on the grid and enjoy greater energy independence.

  2. Cost savings: By storing excess energy generated by your solar panels, you can reduce your reliance on the grid and save money on your energy bills. In fact, some homeowners have reported savings of up to £782 per year (source the ecoexperts.co.uk).

  3. Sell your stored energy back to the grid at a premium! We'll do a separate blog article covering this in more detail soon, but a number of energy suppliers offer variable exports tariffs that enables you to sell your stored energy at peak times.

  4. Increased home value: Installing a battery storage system can increase the value of your home and make it more attractive to potential buyers.

  5. Improved payback period: Installing a battery storage system with a solar PV system enables the homeowner to utilise on average 70% of the generated electricity from the solar PV system, compared to just 30% for those without battery (source: opensolar.co.uk).
