Having a battery storage system alone provides flexibility in managing your electricity consumption. With cheaper tariffs available during off-peak hours, like those offered by Octopus, you can store electricity at night when rates are lower and utilise it during peak hours, effectively reducing your energy bills. By strategically storing electricity during off-peak times, you optimise your consumption patterns and make the most of cost-efficient energy usage

Battery Storage with Solar PV Panels
Integrating battery storage with solar PV panels maximises the efficiency of your renewable energy system. While solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, excess energy can be stored in batteries for use when demand is high or when sunlight is unavailable. This ensures that no generated electricity goes to waste, allowing you to harness solar energy even during nighttime or cloudy days.
A battery storage system allows you to store excess energy generated by your solar panels and use it later, helping you reduce reliance on the grid and make better use of your self-generated power. Many homeowners find this can help lower energy costs, particularly in the evenings or during peak pricing periods.
Any surplus energy you don’t use can be exported back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) scheme, as long as you’re registered with an energy supplier that offers this service and you have a compatible smart meter. Most properties will still require some electricity from the grid, especially during winter months when solar generation is lower. Standing charges from your electricity supplier will also still apply.
, providing you with the option to earn from your solar and battery system. This combination of solar panels and battery storage not only saves money but also offers opportunities to earn from excess energy generation.
