Battery Systems
Take Control of Your Energy with Battery Storage
Battery storage is one of the most effective ways to elevate your energy system and move closer to true energy independence. By capturing surplus electricity generated by your solar PV system, you can store and use it precisely when it delivers the most value such as during the evening or peak tariff periods.
Rather than exporting excess energy back to the grid, a battery system allows you to maximise on-site consumption of your own renewable power. This not only improves the overall efficiency of your installation but also delivers greater financial return from your solar investment.
By integrating battery storage, you significantly reduce your reliance on the National Grid and protect yourself against rising energy costs. The result is a smarter, more resilient energy solution that lowers your electricity bills while giving you greater control over how and when you use your power.
Typical households can reduce grid electricity usage by 50–80% when combining solar PV with battery storage, depending on system size and energy usage patterns delivering meaningful, long-term savings.
Battery systems also unlock the full potential of smart energy tariffs, allowing you to charge your battery using low-cost, off-peak electricity and use it during higher-rate periods. This strategic energy management can further accelerate savings and improve overall system payback.
Benefits of Pairing Battery Storage with Solar Panels:
Store energy for later use
Capture excess solar energy generated during the day and store it for use when you need it most — including evenings and periods of low sunlight.
Maximise your solar usage
Instead of exporting unused energy to the grid, battery storage allows you to use a greater proportion of the electricity your system generates, improving overall efficiency.
Reduce your energy bills
By using stored solar energy, you rely less on electricity from your energy supplier, helping to significantly lower ongoing energy costs.
Increase your energy independence
Take greater control of your energy usage and reduce your reliance on the National Grid and fluctuating energy prices.
Lower your carbon footprint
Using more of your own renewable energy reduces dependence on fossil fuel-generated electricity, supporting a cleaner and more sustainable future.
-
A battery isn’t essential, but it can make a big difference. It lets you store excess solar energy and use it later, reducing your reliance on the grid. At DL Electrical & Renewables, we’ll talk you through the benefits so you can decide if it’s the right fit for your home and budget.
-
Battery capacity varies depending on the model, but most homes use systems between 5kWh and 15kWh. We’ll recommend a size that suits your energy habits and the amount of solar you generate.
-
Yes! Most systems can be upgraded with a battery at any time. We’ll check your current setup and advise on the best way to integrate storage safely and efficiently.
-
Some batteries can provide backup power, but not all systems are designed for it. We’ll explain your options clearly so you know exactly what your system can and can’t do.
-
A typical installation takes around half a day, depending on the system and your property. We handle everything from setup to commissioning, making sure your battery is installed safely and working exactly as it should.
