System performance reporting and analysis

Our integration approach ensures your battery storage operates automatically and efficiently, maximising financial benefits whilst maintaining optimal battery health and system reliability throughout the operational lifetime.

FAQs

How much can I save with a home battery storage system?

Home battery savings depend on your energy usage patterns, electricity tariff, and solar generation if applicable. Many customers save 20-40% on electricity bills by storing cheap off-peak energy and using it during expensive peak periods. With solar PV integration, savings can be even greater as you store excess solar generation instead of exporting at low rates. We provide detailed savings calculations based on your specific energy usage and tariff structure.

How long do battery storage systems last?

Modern lithium-ion batteries typically last 10-15 years with warranties covering performance degradation. Most systems retain 70-80% capacity after 10 years of normal use. Battery lifespan depends on usage patterns, charging cycles, and environmental conditions. We use high-quality batteries from established manufacturers with comprehensive warranties, and our installations include battery management systems that optimise charging to maximise battery life.

Can I add battery storage to my existing solar PV system?

Yes, battery storage can usually be added to existing solar PV systems through retrofit installation. We assess your current solar setup and electrical infrastructure to determine the best integration approach. This might involve AC-coupled batteries that work with your existing inverter, or DC-coupled systems that may require inverter upgrades. Retrofit installations maximise the value of your existing solar investment by storing excess generation for later use.

Is battery storage safe for home installation?

Modern lithium-ion battery systems are very safe when properly installed and certified. We use batteries that meet strict safety standards including protection against overcharging, overheating, and short circuits. Our installations include proper ventilation, fire-rated enclosures where required, and compliance with all relevant electrical and building standards. All battery installations come with full certification and regular safety inspections ensure continued safe operation.
