Expert advice on solar and battery solutions – National Self Build & Renovation Centre

Duracell Energy Stand Now Live at NSBRC

Regardless of what stage in the homeowners journey you are in, whether you’re renovating your current property or building a brand-new project from scratch, there is always room to learn about how you can make your home more energy efficient, lower costs, and even more sustainable. Those embarking on a homebuilding project will now be able to gain insight and the benefits solar and battery storage can bring to your project as the Duracell Energy stand is now live at the National Self Build & Renovation Centre (NSBRC).

As the only permanent venue for independent homebuilding advice and support, the NSBRC has been open since 2007 and can be found in Swindon, just off J6 of the M4.

As a showcase of building methods, innovations and technologies, we couldn’t think of a better way to communicate and connect with homeowners to educate them on the financial and sustainable benefits of solar and battery storage. Because of this, we’ve teamed up with the team at the NSBRC. As a result, Duracell Energy products can now be found on display in the trade village at stand 114

Our aim is to educate and inform homeowners how battery technology can create eco-conscious homes that result in lower electricity bills. With that in mind, there is no better place than NSBRC to showcase our Duracell Energy products that help us with those aims.

Sustainable Living

Interest rates are finally beginning to stabilise, and sustainable living continues to be a focus. For this reason, now is the perfect opportunity for homeowners to start their renovation or housebuild project and benefit from low carbon living, which is where battery storage comes into play.

Battery energy storage systems, otherwise known as BESS, are ways of storing the power generated by renewable energy sources (such as solar panels) until such a time as it is needed. Simply put, they are groups of batteries used to store power.

Setting up battery energy storage systems creates a manageable energy system without relying on fossil fuels. Ultimately, battery energy storage systems are vital in our transition into clean energy.

Retrofitting or Starting From Scratch – A Solution For All

Storage batteries can be combined with solar panels and dynamic tariffs to save up to 90% on a home’s energy bill. By storing renewable energy and topping it up with off-peak grid power (usually taken from other renewable energy sources), you can create an eco-friendly home that is massively less reliable on fossil fuels and that also comes with less expensive energy bills, a win win right?

Combining with solar panels will see a higher return on your investment, but standalone battery systems still present a viable option to lower carbon living and accessible low cost energy.

Already have solar panels fitted? No problem! Retrofitting battery systems is a common housebuild project and can be the icing on the renewable energy cake.

Whatever stage your project is at, you’ll more than likely begin researching the best route for you. With a host of options available, you’re likely to be thrown in at the deep end.
