Solar Battery Storage

Store Your Solar Energy and Use It

When You Need It Most

If you’re considering solar panels in Cambridge, think about adding battery storage. A battery storage system lets you save the energy your solar panels produce during the day and use it when the sun isn’t shining.

On top of this you are able to fill your battery using cheaper electricity offered by suppliers at certain times of the day, and then use it when rates are higher. So even in winter on cloudy dark days you can still use battery storage to save you money.

With TFM Renewables you can make your renewable energy go further, cut your reliance on the grid, and take full control of your energy usage.

Power Your Future with Battery Storage

Why Choose Battery Storage?

By storing the energy your solar panels generate, battery storage lets you make the most of renewable energy, giving you greater savings, resilience, and control over your power usage.

Maximise Your Solar Usage

Solar energy systems can significantly reduce your electricity bills by generating your own power from the sun. Once installed, solar panels can produce free electricity for decades, allowing you to save money over time.

Emergency Backup Power

Not all solar and battery systems offer backup power during outages, but ours do. We provide the option to keep your home or business powered, even when the grid goes down. With our reliable backup solutions, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing you’ll stay connected, no matter the situation.

Reduce Energy Costs

By using stored energy during peak times, you can avoid expensive electricity rates. The electricity you use from your battery can be completely free from your combined solar system or at a much cheaper off-peak rate offered by suppliers at certain times of the day.

Energy Independence

With a battery storage system, you’ll rely less on the grid. In some cases, you can power your home entirely from stored energy, giving you greater control over your electricity supply.

Lower Carbon Footprint

Using stored solar energy reduces your reliance on fossil fuels and helps you make your home more eco-friendly.

Flexible Power Management

Take control of your energy. Store and use power at your convenience, and with scalable battery options there’s no limit to the amount of money you can save each year.

How Does It Work?

Excess Solar Energy Captured
During the day, your solar panels generate more electricity than your home may need. This surplus energy is directed to your battery storage system.
Stored for Later Use
The energy is stored in your battery and kept ready for use when your panels aren’t generating enough electricity, such as at night or on overcast days.
Power Your Home
When your home needs electricity, the stored energy is automatically used, reducing your need to draw power from the grid.

Is Battery Storage Right for You?

Battery storage can often be where the real savings are made, and if you are able to, we would always recommend adding a battery to your system. Especially if you:

Do not have the space or right conditions to have solar panels, you can still benefit from a battery storage system by taking advantage of much cheaper off-peak electricity rates.
Use more electricity in the evenings or at night.
Want to lower your energy bills by maximising solar energy usage.
Live in an area where power outages are common and need a reliable backup solution.
Are looking to reduce your environmental impact and rely less on fossil fuels.

Powering Your Home, Day and Night

Battery Storage: Your 24/7 Energy Solution

Battery storage systems allow you to harness the full potential of your solar PV system by storing excess energy for use when the sun isn’t shining.

These systems consist of advanced lithium-ion batteries, similar to those found in smartphones and laptops. They can store significant amounts of energy, powering your home’s essential appliances and lighting throughout the day and night.

By optimising your energy consumption, you can maximise savings on your electricity bills and reduce your reliance on the grid.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A helpful section to address common questions about solar battery storage.

The lifespan of a solar battery can vary depending on factors like usage, temperature, and maintenance. However, most modern lithium-ion batteries used in solar storage systems have a lifespan of around 10-15 years. As battery technology continues to advance, we can expect even longer lifespans in the future.

Solar battery storage allows you to harness the full potential of your solar panels or much cheaper off-peak electricity rates by storing excess energy for later use. This reduces reliance on the grid and can lead to significant cost savings over time.

Yes, a solar battery storage system can work during power outages – but only if it’s designed for backup power. Many standard solar setups are tied to the grid and will shut off during an outage for safety reasons. However, we offer the option of solar battery systems equipped with backup functionality, allowing you to continue drawing power from the battery even when the grid goes down. This means you can keep essential appliances running and maintain power in your home or business, even during a blackout.

The right size solar battery storage system for your home depends on your specific energy needs. Our experts will assess your consumption patterns to recommend the ideal size for optimal performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Solar battery storage systems are relatively low-maintenance. Most systems require minimal upkeep, such as regular software updates and occasional cleaning. However, it’s important to consult with a professional installer for specific maintenance recommendations and to ensure optimal performance.
