solar panels with battery storage

A home battery is perfect for reducing energy bills and carbon emissions. 

Here at Nu-Look Solar, we offer 2 different types of battery installations.

One possible approach for the homeowners that want to get the greatest value out of their energy storage systems is to go for a battery-only configuration. This approach involves installation of a battery and an inverter in your home to enable you to buy cheap electricity rates without having to fix roof-top solar panels.

In a battery only system, the battery can be charged during off-peak hours, which normally happens during the night when energy companies offer the cheapest rates. This stored energy from the grid can then be used strategically in two key ways:

 Emergency Power Supply: In case of power cuts,  that are unpredictable, you will have a backup source of energy needed to keep crucial appliances going.

 Peak-Time Usage: It can be charged at night when the tariffs are cheaper and then use the stored energy during the day when tariffs are high hence cutting down on energy bills.

This system enables you to ‘time shift’ your energy whereby you purchase energy when it is cheap and use it when it is expensive. That is a good strategy to lower the general consumption of power inside a home and improve its capability to utilise energy.

Furthermore, a battery-only installation is the perfect starting point – taking the first steps toward a more energy efficient home. For those who will plan to install solar panels later, the battery system is in place to store as much solar electricity as the homeowner will produce.
