Reasons to get Battery Storage

Store surplus solar and cheap off-peak energy; cut bills and smooth out peaks.

Why should you consider battery storage?

Increase the efficiency of your solar panel system and leverage additional benefits for your home by integrating your solar panels with a battery storage solution.
Solar batteries offer more control over your energy consumption and allow you to store your solar energy for when you need it most, day or night.

Each home battery offers the potential to become energy independent, generate higher savings and live more sustainably.
Since electric vehicles have become mainstream, customers are becoming more comfortable with the concept of large rechargeable batteries providing energy when you need it.

Learn from Powervault’s Hugo Radford about why Britishness really matters in the energy market. Learn why customers should demand to know who has their data, where their data is stored and who can access their data.

Reasons to get battery storage:

Battery storage captures your surplus solar electricity that would otherwise be lost to the grid.
It allows you to use (stored) solar electricity when the sun isn’t shining or at night.
A battery can be set up to charge on cheap off-peak electricity from the grid and discharge it when prices are high.
Battery storage helps you charge your electric car with 100% renewable energy (when combined with solar).
If you have enough battery storage and solar panels, you can be almost completely independent of the grid.
When configured for Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS), batteries can power your home in a power-cut.
Some batteries are ‘smart grid ready’, meaning you might be able to earn money by exporting power to the grid

GivEnergy batteries

The GivEnergy battery range is comprehensive. The smallest battery is the Giv-Bat 2.6 which is a relatively inexpensive way to install a battery system.

All the GivEnergy batteries can be stacked with additional modules. So whilst you might choose to invest initially only in one 2.6 kWh battery, you can add up to a further 4 modules (for a total of 5 modules) giving a total of 13 kWh.

The largest domestic battery is the All in One which is an AC Coupled battery, delivering 13.5 kWh of storage, and stackable up to 80 kWh.

The Financial Independence case for Solar PV

Let’s explore the case for investing in Solar and Battery Storage from the perspective of someone seeking financial independence, keen to minimise their income tax bill and to permanently reduce their living costs.

What is a Virtual Power Plant?

Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) are networks of small energy-producing systems (like solar panels) or storage devices (like home storage batteries), that are pooled together to serve the electricity grid. The concept of a VPP is already within touching distance.

Making money from Battery Storage

If you own a battery storage system, you now have an additional income stream that can enhance your return on investment.

And remember, this income stream probably sits on top of your Return on Investment calculations. So whilst here at Brimstone Energy expect a pay back in the region of…

Home storage battery – the financials

This is just a hypothetical worked example, and it won’t exactly mirror your own situation. With planning and the right equipment you can dramatically reduce your energy costs WITHOUT reducing your energy use.
