THINKING About Solar Battery Storage?

If you’re considering adding battery storage to your solar setup, there are a few key things to think about. The right system can help you save money, use more of your own energy, and keep the lights on during power cuts. Here’s what you need to know:

What Should You Consider?

Before choosing a battery system, think about:

  • The size of your home or business

  • How much electricity you use each day

  • The cost of electricity in your area

  • How long you plan to use solar energy

How Much Power Do You Use?

Your daily energy use plays a big role in choosing the right battery size.

  • A typical home might use around 30 kWh per day

  • A small business could use up to 50 kWh

  • Larger properties might need 100 kWh or more

Matching the Right System to Your Needs

Battery systems vary in size and capacity. Here’s a rough idea of what’s possible:

  • A 1 kW system can store around 4 kWh-enough to power a small home for a day

  • A 5 kW system can store about 20 kWh-ideal for small businesses or higher-usage homes

You’ll also need to consider:

  • Number and efficiency of your solar panels

  • How much sunlight your location gets

  • System voltage (common options are 12V, 24V, or 48V)

How Much Can You Save?

The average cost of electricity in the UK is around 18.9p per kWh (as of Sept 2022), but that can vary. A well-sized battery system can help you:

  • Use your own solar power even when the sun isn’t shining

  • Reduce reliance on the grid

  • Cut your electricity bills significantly

Planning for the Long Term

If you’re planning to stay in your property and use solar power for years to come, it’s worth investing in a more robust system. Most battery storage units last between 10 to 15 years, so it’s a long-term decision.
