Installing solar panels is an excellent way to generate clean, renewable electricity and reduce your reliance on the National Grid. But did you know you can make your solar energy work even harder by adding battery storage?
Whether you’re a homeowner looking to lower your energy bills or a business aiming to improve energy efficiency, battery storage allows you to store the electricity your Solar PV system generates and use it when you need it most.
At SJM Renewables, we design and install bespoke battery storage systems for domestic and commercial clients across Worthing, West Sussex and the surrounding areas, helping customers maximise the return on their renewable energy investment.
What is Solar Battery Storage?
Solar battery storage is a system that stores excess electricity generated by your solar panels during the day.
Instead of exporting unused electricity back to the National Grid, a battery stores that energy so it can be used later, such as during the evening, overnight or on days when your solar panels generate less electricity.
By storing your own renewable energy, you can significantly increase the amount of self-generated electricity you use, reducing your dependence on energy supplied by the grid.
How Does a Battery Storage System Work?
A battery storage system works alongside your existing or newly installed Solar PV system.
Here’s how it works:
- Your solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours.
- Your property uses the electricity it needs first.
- Any surplus electricity is stored in the battery.
- When your solar panels aren’t generating enough power, such as during the evening, your battery automatically supplies the stored electricity.
The process is fully automatic, giving you greater control over how and when you use the energy your system produces.
Benefits of Battery Storage
Maximise Your Solar Investment
Without battery storage, surplus electricity generated during the day is often exported to the grid. By storing this energy instead, you can use more of the electricity your system generates, increasing the overall value of your Solar PV installation.
Reduce Energy Bills
Using stored solar energy during peak periods means you purchase less electricity from your energy supplier, helping to reduce your monthly energy costs.
Greater Energy Independence
A battery system allows you to rely less on the National Grid by making better use of the renewable electricity you generate yourself.
Support a Sustainable Future
By storing and using more of your own renewable energy, you’re reducing carbon emissions and making your home or business even more environmentally friendly.
Future-Proof Your Property
As energy prices continue to fluctuate and renewable technology evolves, battery storage provides a smart long-term investment that helps prepare your property for the future.
Can Battery Storage Be Added to an Existing Solar PV System?
Yes.
If you already have solar panels installed, battery storage can often be added without replacing your existing system.
Our experienced team will assess your current installation and recommend the most suitable solution based on your energy usage and future requirements.
Is Battery Storage Right for You?
Battery storage can benefit both domestic and commercial properties, particularly if you:
- Generate more electricity than you use during the day.
- Use most of your electricity during the evening.
- Want to reduce your reliance on the National Grid.
- Are looking to maximise the return on your Solar PV investment.
- Want greater protection against rising energy costs.
Every property is different, which is why we take the time to understand your energy usage before recommending the right battery storage solution.
