"A home battery system stores excess electricity generated by your solar panels during the day. Instead of sending unused solar energy back to the grid or letting it go to waste, your battery holds it for later-typically when the sun sets or during a power outage. Here's a simplified breakdown of how it works: Solar panels generate electricity during the day. Your home uses what it needs immediately. The surplus charges your battery. At night or during outages, your battery powers your home. This setup gives you more control over your electricity usage, reduces your dependence on energy companies, and offers peace of mind when the grid goes down."
"Power grids in the UK are generally reliable, but outages still happen often enough to cause real disruption. A survey by UKPower found that 66% of residents have experienced a power cut in their local area. Annually, 23% report at least one outage, while 10% see them every 6-11 months, and 4% have outages every two to three weeks. On average, those outages last about two and a half hours, with a sizable share lasting between one to four hours."
Modern energy systems face increasing strain from rising prices and extreme weather, causing interruptions and higher bills. Home solar battery storage stores excess electricity generated by solar panels during the day for later use, including nights and outages. Solar panels generate electricity, the home uses what it needs immediately, surplus charges the battery, and the battery supplies power when the sun is down or the grid fails. This arrangement reduces dependence on utilities, provides backup during grid failures, and can lower costs by shifting usage away from peak pricing. Frequent outages affect many UK residents, with varied frequency and typical durations around two to three hours.
