What is a home battery storage system?
A home battery storage system is an increasingly popular electrical appliance for the modern home. In a nutshell, it allows you to store cheap, green energy that can power your property. The battery will:
Charge when energy is free or cheap
If you have renewables – such as solar panels – you can charge up your battery for free. The battery will store any excess generation for later use.
No renewables? No problem. Here, you can simply take advantage of smart tariffs to charge your battery when cleaner, off-peak energy is flowing through the wires. (For example, overnight energy is usually a fraction of the peak cost, as is energy when wind and solar production have been particularly good.)
Discharge when energy is expensive
With a battery full of free or super-cheap energy, you can then switch to battery power and save money. This daily charging and discharging cycle will keep your property running sustainably on your own supply.
So, no more paying extortionate charges. No more outages. And no more reliance on peak, dirty energy when the grid is burning lots of fossil fuels to meet demand. Your home battery puts you back in control!
