A storage battery gives you greater control over when you use electricity. Instead of using all the electricity generated by your solar panels as it is produced, you can store surplus energy and draw on it later when your panels are generating less.
Solar Fuel supplies and installs storage batteries for homes and businesses in Hereford and throughout Herefordshire, with battery storage solutions also available across Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.
Whether you’re adding a solar panel battery to an existing installation or considering solar and battery storage together, we’ll assess your requirements and help determine the capacity and setup that suit your property.
How Does Battery Storage Work?
Solar panels often generate electricity at times when you may not be at home to use all of it. Without battery storage, surplus electricity that isn’t being used at the property can be exported to the grid.
A storage battery provides another option. Surplus electricity can be stored during the day and used later, allowing you to make more use of the renewable electricity generated at your property.
Your battery can also be charged from the grid. This gives you the option to charge during cheaper off-peak periods and use the stored electricity at other times, subject to your electricity tariff and how your system is configured.
Get More from Your Solar Panels
Battery storage and solar panels can work together as part of one energy system. While your solar panels generate electricity, the battery provides somewhere to store surplus generation until you need it.
This can help improve energy efficiency by allowing you to use more of the electricity you generate yourself rather than immediately exporting unused power.
If you already have solar panels, you don’t necessarily need to replace the existing system to consider battery storage. A suitable storage battery can be added to an existing solar panel installation, with Solar Fuel assessing the current setup and calculating an appropriate battery for the system.
Flexible Storage
Your battery storage project could be for a flat, a home, a business, a community or anywhere in between. Our storage batteries could stand alone – or sit within an energy management ecosystem, connecting to solar panels, a wind turbine, hydro power.
Latest Technology
All our batterie are made of high-capacity, energy-dense cells, utilizing LiFePO4 technology, which makes our batteries the safest available. All our cells are fully recyclable, non-flammable, and non-toxic making them more sustainable than ever.
