Battery Storage Systems

Battery storage is becoming an increasingly popular option with solar PV. It provides the opportunity to store the solar electricity generated during the day for use later in the evening. This reduces the need to export excess energy and then purchase it from the grid later at an increased price.

Basics of Battery Storage

Normally a solar photovoltaic (PV) installation only provides energy during the day with generation from the sun. So any excess energy produced is sold to the grid at a low price and then when power is needed at night, it’s bought back at a much higher price.

A solar battery storage system provides the opportunity to use more of the green electricity generated, and benefit by increasing ‘self-use’ from around 50% to 85% or more, helping save money on energy bills.

Some solar battery storage systems can also provide emergency backup power in case of a power cut, helping make the property more independent from the grid. We can provide battery storage solutions as part of your GB-Sol Solar system. We can supply everything you need from the battery itself to DC cabling and a compatible inverter.
