Solar batteries explained

Solar batteries made easy

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to upgrade, we can help every step of the way.

Why consider a battery?

Save on energy bills

Use power from your battery when the sun goes down or during peak times, and recharge it using solar or during off-peak times.

Energy independent

Add a battery and store excess energy to use at night or on cloudy days, so you rely less on the grid.
