Solar panels generate the most electricity during the day when you’re often not at home. Without a battery, any excess power you don’t use is simply exported to the grid for very little money.
A home battery storage system captures and stores that surplus solar energy so you can use it in the evenings, at night, or during cloudy days. This dramatically increases your self-consumption, reduces the amount of expensive electricity you buy from the grid, and can cut your energy bills by 50-70% or more.
With a modern intelligent battery, you’ll enjoy greater energy independence, backup power during outages, and make the most of every kilowatt your solar panels produce.

Many homeowners in Cumbria are now installing batteries on their own to take advantage of cheap off-peak electricity tariffs (such as Economy 7 or Agile tariffs). The battery charges automatically when electricity is cheapest (usually overnight or during sunny, windy periods) and then powers your home during peak-rate hours.
This smart time-shifting of energy use can deliver significant savings even without solar. It also provides valuable backup power during winter storms or power cuts — something that’s increasingly important in rural Cumbria.

For customers with larger energy demands or those wanting to maximize returns, we install bigger battery systems (10kWh–30kWh+) that open the door to energy trading.
These systems allow you to:
With intelligent software, the battery decides the best time to charge, store, or export — often generating extra income on top of your own bill savings.
Whether you’re a larger homeowner, small business, or farm in Cumbria, a properly sized battery can turn your energy usage into a smart financial asset.
