How much do solar batteries help you save?

Each solar energy user will have different energy requirements, so it is important to find the perfect system size to match their lifestyle and needs. 
Solar energy savings can help first-time homeowners, families looking at ways to cut household bills, property developers maximising value before selling a home, and those looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Many companies offer a minimum 10-year guarantee backing up the performance of their solar batteries. Additionally, by seeking solar panel and solar battery cost options on flexible payment terms, many customers can gain instant access to energy savings while spreading the associated costs over more manageable payment arrangements.

Do the savings match the cost?

With electricity prices taking a significant chunk out of the monthly budget of many homes, the solar panel battery has become an ideal alternative. Solar energy users who install a solar battery alongside their solar panels can experience up to 50% in annual energy savings on average, which can add up to hundreds of pounds a year. 

With savings beginning from the day of installation, not only can you save energy costs by utilising the battery to power your home during the night-time, but you can also gain access to 24/7 energy data, so you can analyse your energy consumption, tweak your usage and adapt your lifestyle to use cleaner solar energy, whether straight from the panels, or from the battery.

To offer you a little insight into the cost of a solar battery for a home, including the use of flexible terms of payment that are offered in many places:

• You’re quoted £6,000 for a solar battery (inc. VAT & installation)

• You pay a 50% deposit of £3,000 followed by 12 monthly payments of £250.

These interest-free terms allow a user to offset some of the monthly cost against their energy savings. So, while this is a long-term investment, there will come a point where your cumulative savings not only cover the original cost of your solar battery, but you’ll have many years into the future to continue to make financial savings as well as a positive environmental contribution.

Overall, we would say that it is definitely worth looking into the purchasing options for solar batteries given the positive long-term impact they can have on your home.
