Are you maximising the benefits of your solar panels? By integrating home battery storage, ELKATHERM® electric radiators, and a Sunamp heat battery, you can harness even more power from your solar photovoltaic (PV) system. Here’s how.

Adding battery storage to your solar system

Adding home batteries to a solar PV system brings a range of energy-saving benefits:

  • Optimise your energy usage
    Without home battery storage, any excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day is sent back to the grid. If you add home batteries, you can store this surplus energy for use when your solar panels aren’t producing electricity. This maximises your solar investment and reduces your reliance on the grid.
  • Save on your electricity bills
    By using as much of the free electricity you generate as possible, you can significantly cut down on your electricity costs.
  • Enhance your energy security
    Battery storage can provide a reliable backup during power outages, ensuring that your essential appliances and devices remain powered.

Heating your home with solar panels

Our range of ELKATHERM® electric radiators can work in harmony with your solar panels, heating your home using renewable electricity.

Boasting a German A++ energy efficiency rating, ELKATHERM® electric radiators heat up quickly and stay warm for hours with minimal top-ups. By using your stored solar energy to power your ELKATHERM® electric radiators, you can keep your home warm and cosy whilst also saving on your energy bills.

ELKATHERM® radiators integrate seamlessly with solar PV & home battery systems, making them the perfect choice for home heating.

Heating water with solar panels

Sunamp heat batteries are the future of hot water. They provide hot water, at mains pressure, throughout the house – and they’re super compact, saving space in your home too. They’re more efficient than traditional water heaters, and can be seamlessly integrated with your solar PV system – providing you with cascades of hot water for free.

Charge your Sunamp heat battery using excess energy generated by your solar panels, ensuring your hot water needs are met sustainably and without relying on grid electricity.
