What is a Photovoltaic Panel (PV) System?

Simply explained, photovoltaic solar panels transform energy from the sun, into energy that your home or business can use as electricity. Solar panels can be easily installed on to your roof, or another suitable location, like a garage roof, or even an area of ground in your garden, if you don't have enough roof area. The sunlight is then absorbed by the panels and turned into electricity. The panels can reduce costs as you are then not as dependent on using electricity from the National Grid, and they can also reduce the negative impact that you have on the planet as you are not using so many essential resources.

Why Should Use Solar PV Battery Storage?

There are many benefits to using solar panels but one of the main ones is that they can use the energy from the sun, even on cloudy days. One of the challenges, however, is that if you are not at home when the electricity is being made, then you can't use it. When this occurs, it is then absorbed into the National Grid, instead of being used by you. If you would rather make the most of the electricity that your solar panels are creating, then having a battery storage system is an ideal solution because it means that you can save the power made by your panels and then utilise it at a more convenient time.

Energy bills are on the rise all the time and trying to reduce your bills and save energy is become more and more critical. Making your own electricity from solar power is a great way to reduce costs because you will be using your own energy, not having to pay to use it from the National Grid. As an added benefit, you won't be as impacted if energy prices go up because you will be using energy from your panels, instead of having to rely on other sources.

Are there Other Ways to Benefit from Energy Storage?

Battery storage systems are often set up to let you view your saved energy online, which means you simply and easily look at how much power you have created using your PV panels. The battery can also be used to obtain energy from the National Grid at its reduced rates (some people may have a lower priced night rate), and you can then use the energy at a more convenient time.

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

If you are set up on a renewable energy scheme which offers feed in tariff payments, you should be able to use a solar PV battery to use to store the energy you output. However, we would always suggest that you get in touch with your feed in tariff provider to make sure that this is accurate for them.

Additionally, if you have any payments with the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), there should be no problem in using solar battery storage.

How Much Does PV Battery Storage Cost?

There is generally a variety of prices for a simple 4kWH battery storage unit but it is likely to be approximately £4,000 to £6,000.
