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.

Storage Batteries for Your Home

A home battery can be particularly useful when your electricity consumption doesn’t coincide with the times your solar panels are generating most strongly.

For example, electricity generated while you’re away from home during the day can be stored for later rather than having to be used immediately. This can give you more flexibility over your own generation and potentially help reduce energy bills, depending on your system, electricity use and tariff.

Battery capacity matters, so bigger isn’t automatically better. The aim is to choose storage that makes sense for the installation and the way you use electricity.

Battery Storage for Businesses

Storage batteries aren’t limited to homes. Solar Fuel can also provide battery storage for businesses looking to manage generated or stored electricity at their premises.

A commercial battery solution needs to reflect the individual site, existing generation where applicable and the property’s energy requirements. We can assess these factors before recommending an appropriate setup.

Solar Fuel provides battery storage services from Hereford throughout Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire for both residential and commercial requirements.

Standalone and Flexible Battery Storage

Battery storage doesn’t have to be installed only alongside a new solar panel system. Depending on the project, batteries can work as standalone storage or form part of a wider energy management setup.

The existing Solar Fuel offering includes systems that can connect with energy generated by solar panels, wind turbines or hydro power. This creates options for projects ranging from flats and houses to businesses and community settings.

If you’re unsure which arrangement is appropriate, we’ll start with the property and what you want the battery to achieve rather than recommending a system without understanding how it will be used.

 

Backup Battery and Off-Grid Options

Battery storage can also have applications where access to the electricity grid is limited or unavailable. Combined with electricity generated from solar, an off-grid battery system can provide stored electricity for locations such as offices, summer houses and other amenities where a grid connection isn’t possible.

Backup power is another potential application of battery storage. However, backup capability depends on the equipment and configuration installed, so it should be considered as part of the system design rather than assumed to be a feature of every battery installation.

If backup or off-grid operation is important to you, tell us at the outset so it can be considered when assessing your requirements.

 

Battery Technology

The batteries supplied by Solar Fuel use high-capacity LiFePO4 cells. The existing range is described as using recyclable, non-flammable and non-toxic cells, providing a more sustainable approach to energy storage.

As battery specifications and capacities vary, Solar Fuel can calculate which option best suits your installation rather than treating every home or business as having the same storage requirements.

 

From Assessment to Battery Installation

Choosing a storage battery starts with understanding how it will fit into your wider energy setup. That could mean assessing an existing solar installation, planning solar panels and battery storage together, or discussing a standalone or off-grid solution.

Solar Fuel can assess the requirements, supply the equipment and complete the battery installation. Based in Hereford, the local team serves customers across Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.

Solar Fuel has been in business since 2000 and is MCS Certified, NAPIT Approved, TrustMark Approved and a member of the Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC).

 

Storage Battery Maintenance and Support

A battery forms part of your property’s energy system, so ongoing performance matters beyond the initial installation. Solar Fuel provides maintenance alongside its renewable energy installation services, giving you a local point of contact if your system requires attention.

If you’re adding battery storage to an existing solar installation, we can also assess how the new equipment will work with your current setup.
