With solar panels alone, much of the energy generated during the day often goes unused within the home, as household demand tends to be lower during peak sunlight hours.

When paired with battery storage, this surplus energy can be stored and used later—when it’s actually needed. This reduces reliance on grid electricity and allows for more of the solar energy generated to be used within the home. As a result, households benefit from increased energy efficiency and greater savings on electricity bills.

In order to make the most savings Variable Rate Tariffs can be used, along with a complete integrated solution, with multiple times per day (depending on the tariff) where energy is cheaper. During these times the Battery Storage can also be charged cheaply from the grid to ensure that they are full for when demand is higher, this is especially useful during winter months when the Sun is behind the clouds and the days are shorter meaning that the energy generated is less in comparison to the summer months.

EV Chargers can also be integrated into the Solar PV Installation this allows the customer to easily see the amount of energy being generated at any one time, energy generated over a specific period, energy taken from the grid, energy used to charge the Electric Vehicle etc all from on easy to use app.
