Solar batteries and diverters
Battery, hot-water diverter, or neither yet? We'll run your usage both ways and show you the difference before you decide.
Out all day, busy evenings?
A battery usually earns its place. Without one, most of your daytime generation gets exported.
Home by day, or a hot-water cylinder?
A diverter such as the myenergi eddi can soak up surplus solar first. You can add a battery later.
EV or heat pump coming?
Let's size for where you'll be in three years, not just today.
Batteries we fit
We generally fit lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries with a built-in battery management system. They're modular, so capacity can be added later. Brand(s): FACT NEEDED: Pylontech and/or SolaX
A battery doesn't change what the panels make in December. What it does is shift daytime generation into the evening, and it can charge from a cheaper night rate if your tariff has one. VERIFY: confirm you set up tariff charging
Already have solar?
We can look at adding a battery or diverter to an existing system. FACT NEEDED: do you add batteries to other installers' systems / inverter compatibility?
Ask about a battery★★★★★“Inverter, battery and wiring was left very tidy in the attic.”
★★★★★“During consultation stage Darren went through the process providing several options for the number of panels and battery sizes.”
Not sure if a battery is worth it for you?
Send us your smart-meter data and we'll show you both options: with and without a battery.
