Shift when you use energy
Stored electricity can be used later, subject to system settings and capacity.
Store energy. Use it on your terms.
A home battery can store electricity for use later. Whether paired with solar or considered as a standalone installation, suitability depends on your electrical setup, usage and tariff.
What to consider
Pair with solar
A battery may capture some generation that would otherwise be exported, depending on the system.
Consider smart tariffs
Some compatible systems can charge from the grid at selected times; tariff terms and equipment capabilities vary.
Your options
With existing solar
Check inverter and system compatibility before selecting storage.
Standalone battery
Explore installation with or without solar, considering current supply and tariff.
Backup requirements
Power-cut backup needs specific compatible hardware and design; it is not standard on every battery.
Frequently asked questions
Can I have a battery without solar panels?
Some systems can be installed standalone and charged from the grid, subject to site and equipment suitability.
Will it work during a power cut?
Not automatically. Backup requires specific equipment and configuration; ask about this when discussing your requirements.
