We supply & install electrical energy storage systems or battery storage systems for both residential & commercial customers.
Batteries can be fitted as part of a Solar PV install in order to maximise self consumption or as a standalone to make use of variable electricity tariffs so you can run on cheap electricity all day long.
Using variable & off peak tariffs can halve your bills even without solar panels check out the GivEnergy webpage describing the benefits & set up here
Greater Energy Independence - Increase self consumption from Solar, no matter what size of solar array you have a correctly sized energy storage system will accelerate financial payback.
Lower Utility Bills - Pairing batteries with solar panels and variable electricity tariffs maximizes savings, especially if your utility doesn’t compensate you well for excess electricity sent back to the grid.
Buy energy when it's cheaper and use it during peak or higher tariff periods. If you have a solar PV system; great a battery really helps get the most benefit out of it, in order to turbocharge savings off peak tariffs from midnight for example till 6am are generally at least half the price of peak, so in winter or when Solar PV generation isn't filling the batteries our suggestion is to get that battery topped up with cheap off peak electricity, in fact get a nice big battery so you can run all day on lovely cheap electricity mmmm mmmmm.
Keep the lights on even in a powercut - Most systems can be set up so in the even of a powercut the batteries & inverters continue to supply energy to either part or the whole property.
Apps for info & control - Hybrid Inverters come with an App which provides the stats, generation, battery levels and so on - if you have a car charger a fully intergrated system like Myenergy ties all the components together in one might be worth considering.
Battery locations - Some systems require an internal dry location (Garage) where as others can now be installed externally as long as some protection from the elements is given. Lofts and inaccessable places are best avoided. We try & fit the batteries in an unobstrusive position as possble. Cables are concealed & protected giving you a nice neat finish.
Warranty - Most battery systems come with a 10 year manaufacturer warranty as standard giving you piece of mind the your investment will last.
Other ways to maximise self consumption - Use appliances during the day when generating
An electric car with a compatible charger which diverts excess solar PV generation into the vehicles battery.
Divert the Solar PV energy to hot water - power your immersion heater with a device such as the MyEnergi Eddi.
