Making the Most of Battery Storage
Sizing Your Battery
Battery capacity is described in kilowatt hour (kWh). The size of the battery system that’s right for you will depend on your pattern of use and energy demands. We aim to design a Battery Storage system that achieves over 80% *self-sufficiency annually. This will reducing your grid reliance whilst remaining cost effective.
Installing modular systems helps too. If your needs change we can add more storage units with ease
How long will my battery last?
Battery storage allows you to make the most of electricity that you generate by storing it, so that you can use the energy when you actually need it. This is typically in the evening, especially for busy working households. For example: if a house uses around 15kW per day of electricity, we could size the household battery at 10kW. We would expect around 5kW to be used by the house as it’s produced and 10kW should enable the house to run over night in the sunnier months purely on solar generation and storage.
What do I do with my battery in the in the winter?
In the winter months, we would advise that you arrange a cheap overnight tariff or use and EV rate, if you have one. This should allow you to charge the battery to meet demand on the cheaper rate. Other seasonal adjustments can be made to make the most of energy when it is cheap and/or abundant. Sizing a battery for a 24 hour period is cost effective for your home.
I already have solar. Can I add a battery?
Battery storage can work alongside a solar PV system, whether retro-fitted to an existing installation or fitted as part of a new installation. You could store more of the solar power that you generate so you can use it when the sun has gone down, instead of drawing on grid electricity from your electricity supplier.Storage is particularly useful and most valuable economically if you have solar but are out most of the day and can’t use all of your solar power. Storage can also be used to draw power from the grid when it is especially cheap.
Battery Storage Lifespan
A battery’s efficient lifetime depends on the technology and the way the battery is used; specifically, on the number of complete full battery charge and discharge cycles that they undergo.
Manufacturers generally give an expected lifetime in years and/or in ‘charge-discharge cycles’. Lithium-ion batteries last longer than lead-acid: you may see a 10-year lifetime expectancy claimed and this is improving all the time. Normally the battery storage system will monitor the battery performance and should give you an indication when your batteries need replacing.
As solar panels can last 25 years or longer, your storage battery is likely to need replacing in the lifetime of your solar system.

With a solar panel and battery installation, you can use clean electricity to power your appliances. You can also sell any extra electricity back to the grid or store it for later use with battery storage. This means you’re not only reducing your carbon footprint but also potentially generating income too.
