Grid connected solar battery storage is the ultimate way to provide clean renewable energy for your home while still keeping grid power on standby.

With energy prices as they are and energy security a growing concern, take control of your own energy with a solar battery storage system.

Solar panels generate energy during the day and store it in batteries. Those batteries feed your home at night or when you need it most. The grid is still there for those times when you need a little more energy.

It’s the perfect combination!

How does solar battery storage work?

Solar battery storage works in a very straightforward way.

Solar panels generate energy during daylight hours. That energy is stored in batteries connected to the panels and your home.

They power your home and provide the energy you need for daily life. They also provide energy at night when you’re not generating.

Your connection to the grid is still maintained. When you generate excess energy, you can feed it into the grid. If you need more energy than you have stored, you can use grid energy as you always have.

Battery storage solar panels can significantly lower your energy bills and provide clean, renewable energy every single day.

Solar battery storage systems can:

  • Generate and store clean energy for when you need it
  • Provide renewable energy at night
  • Save money on energy bills by minimising grid usage
  • Keep a grid connection for those days when you need more energy than you have
  • Provide energy security for you and your family

Benefits of solar battery storage

There are several key benefits of solar battery storage. Each delivers tangible benefits to families of all kinds.

Lower energy bills

Generating your own renewable energy reduces how much grid energy you use, with obvious cost-savings. Solar systems return on their investment very quickly, so you’ll soon be generating entirely free energy.

Renewable energy

Renewables are the future and with energy being something we all need, generating your own is key. It’s free, clean, doesn’t create CO2 and provides the reliability we need as we increasingly depend on electricity.

Generate and store

Solar panels on their own are great, but energy can go to waste if you don’t use or store it. Combine with batteries and you’re storing that energy for when you need it most. You can still feed into the grid but take care of your own needs first.

Prepare for the electric future

The rise of electric cars, smart homes, more devices and connected everything means we will be depending even more on energy. Securing your own source of energy means you’ll be ready to face whatever the future holds.

Grid connection for when you need it

Keeping your grid connection means you can use grid energy when you need it most. You don’t have to worry about how much energy you have stored to live your life. Use whatever energy you need as there will always be energy to use.

    Solar battery storage system FAQs

    How does a solar battery storage system work with the grid and my home?

    Your solar battery storage system connects to your home’s grid through the batteries and a charge controller. The National Grid is still connected to your home in the usual way but uses intelligent switching to decide where to source energy. If there’s energy in your batteries, your home will use that. If there’s not, it will automatically switch to the grid.

    Batteries can last many years. Sunstore Solar uses high quality batteries we know deliver the reliability you need. As long as they are well maintained, you should get many years of service out of them. Each battery manufacturer provides a minimum number of charging cycles to give you an idea of lifespan.

    The amount of space your batteries will need depends entirely on how many you have. Battery storage is modular and can be stored in lofts, garages, sheds and out of the way places. We can discuss the specifics during a site survey.

    You can send power to the grid but the feed-in tariff has ended. Instead, we have the Smart Export Guarantee scheme which enables you to sell excess energy. It doesn’t pay as much as FIT did but it still puts your excess energy to good use. Speak to your energy provider to find the best rates, Sunstore recommend switching over to Octopus Flux plan as this offers the best export rates for energy.

    Yes, you can usually add batteries to existing solar panels. We will be able to say for sure during a site survey but the vast majority of solar panels installed within the last few years can work with batteries to create a solar battery storage system.
