Battery storage Brighton

Put simply, photovoltaic solar panels simply convert energy from the sun into power that can be used in your home in the form of electricity. Solar panels are simply affixed to your roof, or another convenient position like a garage roof or even on the ground if you don't have adequate roof space. Sunlight is then soaked up by the panels and changed into usable electricity. The panels can then help you reduce costs because you aren't as reliant on utilising electricity from the National Grid and they also limit your impact on the planet because you aren't using so much power that is reliant on the planet's resources.

Why Use Solar Panel Battery Storage?

One of the many merits of using solar panels is that they can harness energy from the sun, even when it's cloudy but one of the difficulties of solar panels is that most people are not at home when the electricity is being created by them. If this happens, the energy is then put into the National Grid, in place of it being used by you. If you would prefer to benefit from the electricity that the solar panels are making, then a battery storage system is a great solution because it means you can save the power created when you're not there and then use it at a time that works for you.

As energy bills continually increase, finding ways to cut costs on your energy has become truly essential. Creating your own energy from solar power will help reduce expenditure because you will be using your own power, not paying for it from the National Grid. Equally, you won't be as affected by increases in energy costs because you will be utilising your own energy from the panels, as opposed to relying on outside sources.

Are there More Ways to Benefit from Energy Storage Systems?

Battery energy storage systems commonly allow you to view your energy acquisition online, which means you can easily look at how much power you are creating with your solar PV panels. The battery also means that you can also save energy from the National Grid at its lower rates (for example if you have a less expensive night rate), and then use the energy at  times that make more sense for you.

Does Battery Storage Affect My Feed-In Tariff or Renewable Heath Incentive?

If you are on a renewable energy scheme, which has feed in tariff (FIT) payments, there shouldn't be an issue using a solar PV system battery to store your energy. Though we would always recommend that you contact your feed in tariff provider and check that this is definitely true for them.

Furthermore, if you have payments under the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), you shouldn't have any issues using solar panel battery storage.

How Much Does PV Battery Storage Cost?

There are a range of prices for 4kWH battery storage systems but it should be somewhere in the region of £4,000 to £6,000.
