Don't let the sun go down...with energy storage
Hold onto that sunshine and use it later. We have the best storage systems for your home and business
What is an Electrical Energy Storage Sytem?
Used to store renewable or low-rate energy and save on your bills, there are two main types of EESS (Electrical Energy Storage System), or battery storage as most people know it
This is a separate system, with it's own inverter and batteries, for retro-fit or storage only installs. It's on it's own circuit and monitors the grid and solar, if installed, to charge and discharge the batteries as needed
Hybrid inverter systems have both the solar and storage connected to the same inverter. Used for retro-fit (when replacing old solar inverter) and for new solar PV systems, with batteries now or added later
How much storage do I need?
This will depend on your usage and requirements, but as a rule of thumb, with Solar PV, it's 1kWh to 2kWh of battery storage per kWp of solar installed. If using low-rate tariffs, then it should correspond to your usage. With arbitrage, trading energy, then more the better
What's the best Energy Storage for me?
There's a lot of choice out there, so we've simplified it for our customers, narrowing down the manufacturers over the years, with the best products and support. This still gives plenty of options and we trial new kit all the time
Most storage these days is Class 1 or Class 2 category, meaning a fully enclosed inverter and battery unit, or separate inverter and battery units, respectively
