How to maximise savings
Thinking of investing in solar and battery storage? By combining solar PV panels with a solar battery, you can reduce your energy bills and reliance on the grid.
Capture and store the energy your system generates during the day, and maximise the free energy, allowing you to power your home when the sun isn’t shinning.
Plus, our system integrates with all dynamic tariffs, making it easy to save even more on your bills by taking advantage of off-peak rates and further reduce your energy costs. You can even integrate your EV charger with your solar and battery system to create your own home energy ecosystem.
Gone are the days of being dependent on the grid during the evenings or cloudy days, a solar battery in the UK ensures that the excess energy produced is stored efficiently in a solar power battery, giving you total control over your power supply and unlocking lower energy bills at the same time.
By choosing Duracell Energy’s solar panel battery you’re future proofing your home and maximising your Solar PV system at the same time. Solar battery storage can drastically reduce your electricity costs to £0!! Sounds good right? All while benefitting from clean, renewable energy.
By using excess energy either generated by your solar panels, or purchased during low-cost periods, the solar battery can store the energy and under the UK’s Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) (link to seg page or grid services) scheme, you can also sell excess solar energy back to the grid, earning money for the energy you don’t use. Our smart app allows you to manage this, ensuring you’re always optimising how your energy is used or sold.
Benefits of combining solar panels and solar battery
- Maximise your savings cutting your energy bill by a potential 85%
- Drive bills toward net zero by selling excess energy back to the Grid
- Store free solar PV generated energy for peak energy price times
- Reduce household emissions significantly
- Protected from unexpected power outages
- Automate charge/discharge using the Duracell Energy App
- Integrable with all smart tariffs
FAQs
In order to maximise savings with smart energy solutions the solar battery works by capturing the energy generated by the solar PV system, energy not used immediately will be stored in the battery, meaning you can use this energy to power your home when the sun isn’t shinning or on cloudy days – when your solar panels aren’t generating power. Combining battery and a solar system you can maximise your savings and reduce your dependency on the grid.
Absolutely, a solar battery drastically cuts energy costs by utilising smart tariffs to charge the battery when the cost is low. Combine this with the free energy generated by the solar panels during the day and you have a smart investment that pays off in lower bills and increased energy independence.
SEG is a UK government initiative the allows you to sell any excess energy generated by your solar panels back to the National Grid. Using the Duracell Energy App you can set your battery to charge low and sell high, earning you money for the energy you don’t use! This can drive your bills toward net zero as well as add a potential income stream to your home.
While SEG can provide you with extra cash, it is always more profitable for homeowners to store the solar energy within a battery. The cost savings achieved by storing low-cost electricity for peak demand times outweighs the return that SEG provides.
In order to get the most out of your solar and battery system, homeowners can utilise their dynamic tariffs together with signing up to our Grid Services plan.
This will provide the most efficient and cost-effective solution and can reduce your electricity bills to £0 and present the opportunity to earn additional revenue by selling energy that you don’t use.
