Battery Storage

Store your energy, use it any time

A home battery captures solar or cheap off-peak electricity and gives it back when power is most expensive — so you get more from every unit.

Overview

Get more from every unit

Without a battery, spare solar goes back to the grid for pennies, and you buy it back at full price in the evening. A battery closes that gap — storing energy when it is cheap or free and powering your home when tariffs peak.

The benefits

Why it's worth it

Beat peak prices

Charge on cheap off-peak rates and avoid expensive evening electricity.

Use more solar

Store daytime generation instead of exporting it cheaply.

Backup power

Selected systems keep essentials running during a power cut.

Smarter home

Monitor and automate your energy use from a single app.

Is it right for you?

A battery makes sense if…

Batteries pay back fastest when you already have solar or an off-peak tariff, but they can help most homes shift usage away from peak prices.

  • You have solar panels, or plan to add them
  • You are on (or can switch to) a time-of-use tariff
  • You use a lot of electricity in the evening
  • You want some protection against power cuts
  • You want to cut your reliance on the grid

Questions

Modern home batteries are typically warrantied for 10 years and thousands of cycles, holding most of their capacity across that life.
