Battery Storage
Solar panels require sunlight to create energy, so as soon as it's dark you’ll be back to using expensive power from the grid.
Having battery storage installed means the surplus solar energy generated during the day can be fed into the battery. The batteries are charged during the day by means of solar energy. The surplus solar energy is fed into the battery and stored rather than being exported back to the national grid.
This is a far more cost-effective use of the energy produced as the cost of using energy from the national grid is far higher than is paid for feeding energy back onto the grid. This, therefore, provides a faster return on investment than installing Solar PV panels only and on average results in a 70% reduction in your electricity bill.
During summertime, when there is adequate solar energy, the home can run for much longer without relying on the national grid. Batteries can assist home owners and businesses reduce electricity bills while maximising energy independence from the grid. Any surplus power produced can be sold back to the grid via the SEG (Smart Export Guarantee) scheme.
Your energy provider will send you tax free payments for providing them with green energy. In addition, smart technology within the battery will calculate the best time to buy energy from the grid ensuring you buy at the very best time possible. Energy prices work on supply and demand so are cheapest in the middle of the night when demand is low.
Your battery can make profit for you from buying energy when it is at it’s cheapest and selling back the surplus energy during times when prices are at their peak. This means there is great benefit in installing battery storage in your home or business, even if you do not have solar pv panels installed.

VAT
Battery storage can qualify for 0% VAT when installed in eligible residential accommodation or buildings used solely for a relevant charitable purpose. Since 1 February 2024, the relief includes electrical storage batteries, including batteries installed with solar PV, batteries retrofitted to store electricity from qualifying energy saving materials, and standalone batteries used to store electricity from the grid.
The temporary 0% VAT rate is due to run until 31 March 2027, after which the reduced rate of 5% is expected to apply. Reducing the upfront installation cost can help shorten the payback period and improve the overall return from a battery storage system.
