Solar PV and Battery Storage
One of the most common questions we are asked is if Batteries are worth it, with people being told “You Must Have a Battery” and other being told “Batteries Are a Waste Of Time”
Neither should be considered automatically true.
Battery Storage is a great addition to some properties with Solar PV and is absolutely no use to others, it is very individual to the circumstances of the property in question and habits of the owners.
You should always consider, a Battery takes excess electricity, the part the house doesn’t need at the time, so understanding and working out what the likely excess levels from the Solar will be for your property will answer the question whether you should think about, or not think about having a battery.
ECH install a variety of Battery Technologies and should a battery be suitable for your property, we can discuss which option fits best for your needs.
