Why have battery storage for your solar system?

The sun, its a free source of energy for us all, therefore solar panels have become an attractive option for homeowners and businesses alike.

The full potential of solar panels can be unlocked by adding battery storage technology.

In this blog, we look at the advantages of having battery storage for your solar system, transforming the way we utilise solar energy.

By including battery storage, excess solar energy produced during the day can be stored for later use, reducing reliance on the grid and providing a reliable power supply even during outages or peak times.

Battery storage allows for efficient energy management by making good use of solar power.

When a solar system produces more energy than is currently required, the rest of the energy is stored in the battery rather than being unused. This stored energy can be used during peak periods or at night when solar production is limited.

Such smart energy management leads to reduced energy costs.

Battery and solar installation

 

 

The integration of battery storage technology with solar panel systems offers so many advantages, transforming solar energy into a more reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution.

By gaining energy independence, battery storage transforms the way we harness and store solar power.

As renewable energy continues to improve, battery storage stands as a crucial element in gaining a sustainable and resilient energy future.

Here's what our customers say:

''From our initial discussion and visit to us by Joss and Alex, the recommendations and plans of the PV panels for our property to the installation, including the scaffold team and the roofers, has all been a very well-organised process. The actual installation, fixing the panels on the roof, was excellent. They all worked professionally and respectfully. We have no hesitation in recommending your company. Thank you again.

Frequently asked questions

The weather isn’t always sunny in Cornwall. Will solar panels still work efficiently?

Yes, they will. Solar panels don’t require direct sunlight to produce electricity – they can still generate power in cloudy or overcast conditions. While the output might be reduced compared to a sunny day, you will still see significant energy savings over time.

How long does it take to install the solar panels?

We pride ourselves on fast lead times. Typically, your installation will start 8 weeks from your order being placed. Depending on the size of your installation, it is usually complete within just 3-5 days.

What does an inverter do?

A solar inverter is an essential part of any solar PV system as it converts the direct current generated by the solar panels into alternating current so that it can be used to power electrical appliances.
Without a solar inverter, all of the free renewable solar energy being generated by the panels would simply go to waste.
