Backup Power

80%+ Self-Consumption

Battery Storage With or Without Solar
You don't need solar panels to benefit from a battery storage system. Many of our customers install batteries as a standalone solution, charging from the grid at cheap overnight rates and using stored energy during the day.
Without Solar -- Grid Arbitrage
On tariffs like Octopus Go, you can charge your battery overnight at just 7p/kWh. During the day, when electricity costs 30p+ per kWh, you use your stored energy instead. A typical 10kWh battery could save you £700-900 per year through grid arbitrage alone.
With Solar -- Maximum Savings
Combined with solar panels, a battery system stores your free daytime solar generation for evening use. This can push self-consumption above 80%, dramatically reducing what you buy from the grid and maximising your return on investment. Call us on 0116 497 6782 to discuss your options.

BATTERY STORAGE FAQs
A battery storage system stores excess electricity generated by your solar panels (or charged from the grid at cheap overnight rates) and releases it when you need it most — typically during expensive peak hours between 4pm and 9pm. This maximises your self-consumption and reduces what you buy from the grid.
No. Battery storage works brilliantly even without solar panels. You can charge your battery from the grid at cheap overnight rates (as low as 7p/kWh on tariffs like Octopus Go) and use that stored energy during the day when electricity costs 30p+ per kWh. Many customers save hundreds of pounds a year with battery-only installations.
Most households benefit from a 5-10kWh battery system. A 5kWh battery suits a couple or small family, while a 10kWh system is ideal for larger households with higher evening consumption. Fox ESS and SigEnergy batteries are modular, so you can start with one unit and add more as your needs grow.
SigEnergy and Fox ESS batteries are designed to last 10-15 years with daily cycling. Most come with a 10-15 year warranty, and real-world data shows minimal degradation over this period. The lifespan can be extended by avoiding regular deep discharges.
