Battery & Energy Storage
Battery energy storage means adding a battery bank to your solar (or grid) setup so electricity can be saved and used later — during a power cut, at night, or whenever you need it most. It's what turns a solar system from 'power only while the sun shines' into reliable, round-the-clock energy.
How battery storage works
Excess solar is captured
Instead of exporting all surplus solar power to the grid, a hybrid inverter routes it into a battery bank for later use.
Energy is stored chemically
Modern systems use Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries — safe, long-lasting, and able to handle thousands of charge cycles.
Power is available on demand
When you need it — at night, during peak tariff hours, or in a blackout — the inverter converts stored energy back into usable AC power instantly.
Backup kicks in automatically
In a hybrid or off-grid setup, the system can automatically switch to battery power the moment the grid goes down, with no manual intervention.
Which storage setup do you need?
Sizing depends on how much backup and independence you want.
Backup-Only Battery
Just for outages
A smaller battery sized to keep essential loads — lights, fans, WiFi, fridge — running during a power cut.
Hybrid Solar + Storage
Backup and savings
A larger battery paired with solar that stores excess daytime generation and also shifts your usage away from expensive peak-tariff hours.
Full Off-Grid Storage
Total independence
A large battery bank sized to run your entire property independently of the grid, ideal for remote or grid-unreliable locations.
Why add storage to your energy setup
Keep essential appliances running through grid outages without relying on a noisy, polluting diesel generator.
Shift your usage to stored solar or off-peak power instead of paying peak-hour grid tariffs.
Use more of your own solar generation instead of exporting it cheaply and buying it back later at a higher price.
Modern LFP batteries are rated for 6,000–10,000+ charge cycles, translating to a usable life of well over a decade.
Battery systems are safe for indoor or outdoor installation when installed to manufacturer and safety code standards.
From sizing to commissioning
Backup needs assessment
We identify which appliances you want backed up and for how many hours, to size the battery correctly.
System design
We design the battery capacity and inverter pairing, integrating with new or existing solar where relevant.
Safe installation
The battery bank and hybrid inverter are installed to code, with proper ventilation and safety isolation.
Commissioning & automation setup
We configure automatic switch-over behaviour and, where available, a monitoring app so you can track charge levels and usage.
Handover & maintenance guidance
We walk you through how the system behaves during an outage and what maintenance, if any, is required.
Common questions
Quality Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries are typically rated for 6,000–10,000+ charge cycles, often translating to 10–15+ years of use.
This depends entirely on battery capacity versus your connected load — we calculate this precisely during the assessment based on which appliances you want backed up.
In most cases, yes — we assess your current inverter and system to determine the best way to add storage, sometimes requiring a hybrid inverter upgrade.
Yes, when installed according to manufacturer specifications and electrical safety codes, which our experienced technicians follow for every installation.
