Our solar panel battery storage solutions
Solar panels with a battery form an energy storage system and are a great way to become more energy-efficient, lower your energy bills, and live more sustainably.
Here’s an idea of how solar panel battery storage works:
- Electricity generated from your PV solar panels is stored in a battery
- The battery provides power to your home when needed
- If the battery runs out of power, the system will automatically draw power from the grid
- You can even store excess electricity and sell it back to the National Grid

Why add a solar battery to your solar panel system?
Adding a solar panel battery to your existing solar energy system will open up a whole world of benefits, especially when it comes to saving money on your energy bills.
Pros of having solar panel battery storage
You can store excess energy
A solar battery lets you store the energy your system generates during the day, making it available for use at night or during power outages. For emergency power during outages, your battery must include an EPS switch to operate in island mode.
Reduced reliance on the grid
If you have a solar battery, you can use less electricity from the grid, saving you money on your energy bills and reducing your carbon footprint.
Backup power during an outage
Your solar battery can provide backup power during a power outage, so you won’t have to rely on generators or candles. However, to access this emergency power, your battery system must include an EPS switch, which allows it to operate in island mode during outages.
Passive income stream
Depending on how much electricity you generate, you could make extra passive income by selling excess energy back to the grid.

FAQs
We’ve answered some of the most commonly-asked questions about batteries for solar panels and solar battery grants here, but please speak to the team if you have any more.
What is the best type of battery to use with solar panels?
The best battery for your solar panel system is the one that most effectively serves your property’s energy needs.
There are two main types of solar batteries used with solar panels: lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Lead-acid batteries are the most common type, and they’re relatively inexpensive and have a long lifespan. However, they are also heavy and require more maintenance than lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries are more expensive than lead-acid batteries, but they have a higher energy density and a longer lifespan. They’re also much lighter and require less maintenance.
If you have any questions about which solar battery to add to your solar energy setup, speak to our team now.
How long does a 5 kW solar battery last?
The type of battery you choose will affect its lifespan. Lead-acid batteries typically last 3-5 years, while lithium-ion batteries can last 10 years.
How many solar batteries are needed to power a house?
The size of your solar battery depends on your setup. For typical UK homes connected to the grid with a 4kW or 5kW solar system, a 6kWh to 12kWh battery is recommended. This allows you to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night.
Do your solar battery installers operate near me?
