How Do Solar and Batteries Work?
A solar battery, also known as a solar energy storage system or solar battery storage, is a device that stores excess electricity generated by solar panels. It allows homeowners and businesses with solar PV installations to store surplus energy for later use, typically during periods of low or no solar production such as at night or on cloudy days.
Storage and Usage:
Solar batteries work by storing the excess electricity produced by solar panels in a chemical form, typically in rechargeable batteries. This stored energy can then be utilised when the solar panels are not generating sufficient electricity to meet the demand.
Types of Batteries:
Solar batteries are available in different types including lithium-ion, lead-acid, and flow batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used due to their high energy density, longer lifespan, and faster charging capabilities. They are also more compact and require minimal maintenance compared to other types.
Benefits:
In addition to providing backup power during grid outages, solar batteries offer several benefits such as maximizing self-consumption of solar energy, optimizing time-of-use rates, reducing electricity bills, and reducing reliance on fossil fuel-generated electricity. They also support grid stability by balancing the supply and demand of electricity, especially during peak periods.

How Do We Install the Electrics?
- Every project is carefully thought out. Before we start any work, we discuss cable runs, disruption, and any potential issues. Once we have agreed on the best cable runs and compliance, we begin to install.
- We always install surge protection and a separate consumer board for the solar to contain the new circuits.
- We complete all work using trunking or conduit to hide cables and keep the work protected. Our work is very neat and we always tidy up prior to leaving your home.
- Installs can be in lofts, outside, and garages. Every project is different and requires a different approach.
