Are you interested in home battery storage, but not sure where to start? You’ve come to the right place!
In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about home battery systems. Whether you’re wondering if home batteries are worth the investment, considering installation options, or simply want to understand how they work, we’ve got you covered.
A home battery system can be charged either from the electricity grid, or via renewable energy sources such as solar panels. When electricity is cheap or abundant (such as during off-peak hours or when the sun is shining), the battery stores energy for later use.
When energy demand exceeds supply (such as during peak hours, or when the sun is shining), the battery discharges electricity back into the home’s electrical system. This electricity powers your appliances, lights, and other devices, reducing your reliance on the grid.
In the event of a grid outage, the home battery system can automatically switch to backup mode, providing uninterrupted power to essential appliances and devices.
A home battery system consists of an inverter and a battery. The inverter is essential for several reasons:
Take advantage of energy storage to save money on your electricity bills through off-peak tariffs and make power cuts a thing of the past.
And if you're looking for a complete solar PV solution, HeatElectric offers the complete energy-saving package.
When choosing a home battery system, it’s essential to opt for a reliable and efficient option. We specialise in Qcells home battery systems: their state-of-the-art batteries are designed to deliver optimal performance, reliability, and longevity, making them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to harness the power of energy storage.
For homeowners with solar panels, a home battery system offers an excellent opportunity to store excess solar power generated during the day for use later in the evening or during periods of high energy demand. With a Qcells home battery, you can maximise self-consumption of solar energy, further reducing your reliance on the grid and increasing your energy savings.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need solar panels to benefit from a home battery system. Our Qcells systems are suitable for properties both with and without solar PV, including flats and apartments. Even without solar panels, you can still take advantage of energy storage to save money on your electricity bills, by using a time of use tariff such as Economy 7.
If you’re on a time of use tariff, such as Economy 7 or Octopus Go, a home battery system can help you maximise savings by storing cheaper off-peak electricity for use during peak hours.
One of the standout features of home battery systems is their ability to provide backup power during outages. With a Qcells system, you can rest assured knowing that your essential appliances will continue to operate, even if the grid goes down. Whether it’s a temporary outage or an extended blackout, you can count on your home battery to keep the lights on and the essentials running.
Absolutely. Home battery systems offer numerous benefits, including energy independence, reduced electricity bills, and backup power during outages. Installing a Qcells energy storage system can maximise your energy savings, regardless of whether you have solar panels or not.
