The benefits of a solar battery
Why battery storage?
Installing a solar panel battery alongside your solar panels will make sure you’re using more of the energy you generate. Make the most of the golden daylight hours, store what you don’t need, and use it to power your home when the day gets darker.
It’ll keep you off grid for longer
Being able to store excess energy in a solar battery for when the day is over further reduces your reliance on the grid for electricity.
It’ll save you money long-term
Not only will you benefit from long-term cost savings by using more of the energy you generate, but price stability too – as you’ll be more protected from energy market price spikes.
You won’t notice it’s there
Our solar batteries are weather resistant, child and pet friendly, and make very minimal noise. They’re simple, effective, easy to own, low maintenance – and most importantly, they’ll save you £££s.

How does solar and battery storage work?
Understanding battery storage
Almost everyone that uses solar energy would see increased savings from installing a solar panel battery. Here’s exactly how it would work for you.
Power your home, store excess energy
Once you’ve generated enough energy for the day, most people think you either have to sell your excess back to the grid, or lose it. With a solar battery, that’s not the case – you can store your leftover power for when your solar panels stop generating.
Use energy when you really need it
Start discharging your solar battery at night, or during peak hours to save having to buy energy from the grid. Still got electricity spare? Even better. Carry it over to the next day and when your panels start generating again in the morning, it’ll take even less time to charge your home battery back to full.
Say goodbye to the grid
If you store more than your home’s energy requirements for the day, your power won’t cost you a penny! Meaning you’ll be breaking even on your solar investment, faster than ever!

The perfect 24 Hours
with solar and battery storage
Use our tips to stay off grid for longer
- Run the washing machine and dishwasher between 10am and 5pm, when the sun is out. Let your panels power your chores!
- Use appliance timers to stagger energy usage instead of clustering it in the evening and depleting your battery.
- Let your home solar battery charge during school hours and power your home after dark.
Use our key to help you visualise your perfect 24 hours:
Solar panels – increases and decreases depending on how much energy the solar panels are generating from the sun. The line goes up when its light and sunny and then goes down at night when it’s dark.
Battery charge – shows how much charge is in the solar battery throughout the day.
Energy use – spikes upwards when energy is being used in the household – this could be anything from putting the kettle on to charging your electric vehicle.
Grid – shows energy being used from the grid when it’s above the line, and energy being sold back to the grid when it’s below the line.

Don’t just take our word for it. Solar and battery storage have helped save £££s for people like you every year, here’s exactly how we helped Jon.
My Utilita Home solar and battery storage put my energy account in credit!
“I knew solar panels would save me money on my energy, but never expected to see results so quickly. I’ve even been in credit for electric energy usage in some months which is fantastic – and this includes charging my electric car!
Seeing the costs go down on my smart meter makes the investment feel really valuable. I had 10 panels installed and have 2 batteries – the process has been so smooth the whole way through, and knowing I’m also doing my bit for the environment is a bonus.”
– Jon from Hampshire

Solar Battery Storage FAQs
A solar battery stores excess energy generated during the day, allowing you to use it when you need it most instead of selling it back to the grid. This maximizes your energy savings.
A home solar battery allows you to have a bank of saved energy from your solar panels, which can be used outside of daylight hours or whenever you need it. This will save you £££s in the long-term, so we strongly recommend it to help you get the most out of going solar.
The number of batteries, or the size of your battery you’ll need will completely depend on your energy usage, and how much energy you need to power your home. Most households only need one home solar battery to sustainably fit their needs, but if your home has an especially high energy output, you may need further battery storages.
No, when you fill out your virtual survey, we’ll ask you the right questions and if your home is eligible, we’ll provide an option to add the extras to your solar package. We strongly recommend a battery for all of our solar panel systems, whereas the need for an EV charger will depend on your circumstances.
