Battery Storage
Store Your Energy and Use It When You Need It
Battery storage gives you greater control over your electricity by allowing you to store energy and use it later.
Combine a battery with solar PV to save excess solar generation, or charge your battery from the grid during lower-cost tariff periods and use that energy when prices are higher.
Saltire Solar designs and installs battery-storage systems for homes and businesses across Scotland.
Battery Storage
Use Your Solar Energy Day and Night
Your solar panels often generate the most electricity during the middle of the day, when household demand may be relatively low.
Without a battery, excess energy may be exported back to the grid.
Battery storage allows you to keep more of that electricity and use it later in the evening or overnight.
This can increase the amount of your own solar energy that you actually use.
Why Install Battery Storage?
Store Excess Solar Energy
Keep more of the electricity generated by your solar panels instead of exporting it immediately.
Take Advantage of Cheaper Tariffs
Depending on your electricity tariff, your battery can potentially charge during cheaper off-peak periods for use later.
Reduce Grid Dependence
Use stored electricity during periods when your property’s demand is higher.
Smart Monitoring
Monitor battery charge levels, energy usage and system performance through a compatible app
Battery Storage Without Solar
You don’t necessarily need solar panels to benefit from a battery.
A standalone battery system can be configured to charge from the grid during lower-cost tariff periods and provide stored electricity later.
Whether this approach is suitable depends on your property, electricity usage and tariff.
Saltire Solar can assess your requirements and recommend an appropriate setup.
Battery Systems Designed Around You
Battery capacity should be matched to how much electricity your property actually uses.
We consider:
- Daily electricity consumption
- Existing solar generation
- Available battery location
- Current electricity tariff
- Existing inverter and electrical system
- EV charging requirements
