According to PassivSystems, the largest solar metering company in the UK, you could be losing up to 70% of the energy that your panels produce. Solar panels produce electricity during the day when many people are at work. During the summer, when they are at their most efficient, most families spend more time outside and their power usage is lower.

By storing excess electricity generated during daylight hours in batteries, you can make use of this energy at night when there is no sun, and your consumption rates are typically higher. By reducing the amount of power drawn from the grid, your energy bills can be reduced.

The benefits don’t stop there

Installing batteries to store the excess energy produced by your solar panels not only helps you save money on electricity, but also provides other benefits. By choosing to move to a differential rate with your energy supplier (formerly known as economy 7) you could charge your batteries during the night when you will pay up to 50% less for your electricity.

Battery monitoring

You can monitor your PV system live and view historical data using the integrated advanced remote monitoring platform which can be accessed via a Web hub or on any smartphone via an app. The integrated remote monitoring platform gives you an easy way of checking on your system from anywhere in the world. If you have an EPS installed, your system will seamlessly switch over if there is a power cut in under 0.01 seconds providing uninterrupted supply.
