When installing a solar panel system – there are two main types of systems available.
Solar PV systems absorb sunlight and pass this through the PV cell which generates electricity. This system can either directly power the property or be used to store electricity in a battery. This article covers why it’s a great idea to consider installing a battery system – for use as an auxiliary power system in power outages and to power a property at night.
Solar Thermal Systems use sunlight to provide hot water directly to the property. This is used as a heating system and is not used to generate electricity.
Battery storage is a great way to ensure that you have power available in your building in case of emergencies and these systems can be used to provide your own electricity for EV charging.

Enjoy Solar Energy 24/7 With Battery Storage Systems
Installing a solar PV system that includes a solar battery bank allows you to enjoy solar electricity 24/7. Should a power outage occur, the battery system can use stored electricity to power the property.
At night, solar panels are unable to generate new electricity – so your battery system can be used to power the property at night. Solar panels are vital in moving away from dependency on the national grid, so investing in a battery storage system ensures that you don’t have to move back to reliance on grid-supplied electricity should you not have a source of electricity from your solar panel system.
You can also utilise cheaper rate tariffs for battery storage to offset electricity use throughout the day – taking advantage of cheaper electricity to power your property.
Retrofitting a Current Solar PV System With a Solar Battery Bank
Many current systems that do not have a battery bank installed can be retrofitted to have a battery system installed. This is highly recommended if you don’t have a battery system currently installed. We are able to support you in retrofitting and installing a battery system with your current system.
