What is a home battery and why choose one?

The name says it: a home battery stores the electricity you generate for use later. So you can enjoy the solar energy you generated during the day in the evening or on cloudy days. On a dynamic energy contract you can also store power when it is cheap and use it when rates are higher. That means lower energy costs and cleaner energy use at once.

How do you ask for a home battery quote?

Asking for a quote is simple and quick. The form below takes a few minutes. Once we have your request we send you an intake form, which helps us build a picture of your energy use, your existing systems and what you are looking for.

With that information our advisers can make a quote to measure. They may contact you for a visit so they can judge the situation on the spot. You then receive a quote of your own, so you know exactly where you stand.

What should you look at when comparing quotes?

When comparing home battery quotes, a few things matter. The capacity of the battery, which decides how much energy you can store, and the power of the inverter, which affects how quickly the battery charges and discharges. It is also wise to look at the warranty conditions, the life of the battery and the cost of installation and maintenance.

What makes up the price of a home battery

The price of a home battery is shaped by several things. Besides the brand, the capacity, the technology and the changes needed in your house all play a part: adjustments in the meter cupboard, cabling that has to be laid and where the battery itself goes.

Installing a home battery

Our experienced installers make sure your battery is fitted safely and efficiently. The engineers put it where you want it, the electrician makes any changes needed in the meter cupboard and connects the battery to your other systems, such as solar panels and our smart energy management system. And of course they test everything carefully to make sure it all works as it should.

Warranty and maintenance

Home batteries last for years. On the batteries we supply, manufacturers give a 10-year product warranty or a set number of charging cycles, depending on the make and model. Apart from the occasional service check and software update, a home battery needs little maintenance.

The imbalance market: an extra advantage

Did you know that a home battery also lets you trade on the imbalance market? That is the market where energy suppliers trade to balance supply and demand in real time. By using your battery cleverly you store energy when demand, and therefore the price, is low, and feed it back when demand is high and prices rise.

Financing and subsidies

There is no subsidy for home batteries at the moment, although you can reclaim the VAT on your investment. You will find more about that in our article about the VAT refund for home batteries.

Comparing types of home battery

Not all home batteries are the same. Different types and models are available, each with its own specification and advantages. It matters to choose one that suits your energy use and what you need. Ask our advisers what is possible, so you make a well-considered choice for your situation.
