Now, let’s dive in.1. What are solar batteries and how do they work?A solar battery is an energy storage solution that’s paired with a solar panel system. With a solar battery, you can store electricity your panels generate during the day and then use it when the sun has gone down.As a side note, you can have a battery storage system without solar panels, where you capture power from the national grid to use whenever you want. This wouldn’t be defined as solar battery storage, but rather just ‘battery storage’. In this video, we’ll only focus on solar batteries.There are two types of solar battery storage systems: hybrid systems and off-grid systems.A hybrid system includes battery storage but is supported by the electric grid. With this type of system, your panels can generate electricity during the day and surplus electricity will be sent to your batteries to be stored. Any extra electricity will then be fed to the grid.At night, instead of relying on the grid, you can use the stored electricity from your batteries.An off-grid system doesn’t have the support of the grid - with this type of system you are 100% energy-independent and self-reliant.This means you will need a large enough solar panel system and solar battery to power your household’s energy needs.Off-grid systems are not as common as hybrid systems in the UK, with approximately 75,000 - 100,000 households living off the grid.2. What are the main components of solar batteries?To store solar energy in your batteries, of course you first need solar panels and an inverter. For a full breakdown of how to find the best solar panels, you can check out our other video here.For the batteries specifically, you’ll need:A charge controllerThe batteriesAnd a battery enclosureThe charge controller is an essential component if you have batteries. It regulates the voltage and current flowing from the panels to the batteries, which prevents them from overcharging.The batteries themselves are where the electricity is stored, and the battery enclosure is what houses the batteries to keep them sheltered - for safety regulations purposes.Solar batteries are not cheap, so the main question you need to ask yourself is: are batteries worth the cost?To help you evaluate this, we’ll run you through some key pros and cons of having a solar battery storage system.3. What are the advantages of solar batteries? There are many great reasons to get a solar battery. One the biggest incentive is to:Maximise the use of your solar panel system and increase your energy independenceIf you already have a solar panel system, you’re likely wondering how you can get even more out of it. Without a battery, you’re reliant on the grid to supply electricity when the sun has gone down, which can increase your utility bills. Or, on a day when your panels have generated a surplus, that will just go right back to the grid.With a battery, on the other hand, you’ll be able to save more energy to use when it suits you best. For example, if you’re not home during the day, which is when your panels generate the most units of electricity, you can use a battery to store that energy and instead use it when you get home.For some, having that increased flexibility and independence can mean a great deal and is an incentive to install solar batteries. Being more energy-independent means you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint, which is another great advantage of solar batteries.Solar energy is an abundant source of energy, and with solar batteries you can use even more of that renewable energy source to power your home, thereby reducing your carbon footprint! What’s more, solar batteries can protect you from power cuts.Power cuts can happen for a number of reasons, from severe weather, accidents, or routine works on the network. Fortunately, they don’t occur very often in the UK, but if the August 2019 blackout taught us anything it’s that when they do happen, the effects can be damaging.A common solution to power outages is to use a diesel generator as backup. Not only is this process noisy and disruptive to you and your neighbours, but a diesel generator has a large carbon footprint.A solar battery system can help power certain parts of your home for a few hours, which can be a great buffer if the grid goes down. Now let’s look at some of the disadvantages of solar batteries:4. What are the disadvantages of solar batteries?Before you invest in solar batteries, you need to be aware of their drawbacks. They dont make financial sense for everyone, so the advantages need to outweigh the disadvantages we’re about to go through.First and foremost, you need to be aware of the set-up costs of solar batteries.Depending on the battery size, you could be paying anything from 1,500 to 13,000 pounds. For example, the Tesla Powerwall, which is a 13.5 kilowatt hour battery, currently costs approximately 8,000 pounds. It’s important for you to calculate the return on your investment with your specific energy habits in mind and decide if the high set-up costs are worthwhile. You’re not likely to save money by installing solar batteries, but you will be able to make better use of the electricity your panels generate.If you’re at home all day and you use electricity during the hours your panels are producing electricity, then batteries might not be necessary at all. So, always calculate the ROI before you buy.Another downside to batteries is that their usability is weather-dependent. This is connected to the fact that your panels are weather-dependent, or rather, sunlight-dependent. If you have a day with barely any sunlight, your panels will produce less electricity than on a sunny day, which means your batteries won’t be able to store as much.Having said that, solar panels can still produce energy during overcast days and in the winter. In fact, we dedicated a whole video to cover the topic of how efficient solar panels are in the winter - you can check it out here.Another aspect to know about weather-dependency is that if the temperature drops below freezing, you may see a drop in the functionality of your solar batteries.Low lifespan is another disadvantage of solar batteries. Generally speaking, solar batteries last anywhere from 3 to 12 years, which, if you compare to the lifespan of your solar panels, is of course shorter. The actual lifespan will depend on a number of factors, like the quality and type of battery you buy.The final disadvantage to be aware of is that there is a degree of maintenance needed to preserve a battery’s lifespan. Lead-acid batteries, for example, require a routine cleaning and to have the water levels topped up - and you cant just use regular water, it needs to be distilled water.But lithium-ion batteries barely need any maintenance. 5. What types of batteries are there? The two types of batteries we just mentioned are the two most common domestic solar batteries:Lead-acid batteries, andLithium-ion batteries (which we’ll refer to as just lithium batteries)Lead-acid batteries have been on the market for decades and are usually the more affordable option, while lithium batteries are newer and typically have a longer lifespan.When choosing which battery type to buy, you should look at their specifications. Though lithium batteries are, generally speaking, known as higher quality, you can definitely find high quality lead-acid batteries that can satisfy your energy needs.With that in mind, let’s move on to the next question to consider, which is:6. What battery specifications should you consider?There are many technical specifications and it can be a bit overwhelming figuring out what’s important. Each specification will give you an indication of the capacity factors or lifetime factors.First of all, you need to find a battery with the relevant capacity and power. The capacity you choose ultimately depends on your energy needs. You can find batteries that have a capacity of 3 kilowatt hours or 13 kilowatt hours. You can also stack batteries to increase the total capacity.Now, a battery’s capacity doesn’t directly translate to usable power. To get a better picture of how much usable power a battery can provide, take a look at the power rating, which is measured in kilowatts (kW).The reason why you can’t use the full capacity of a battery is because of the Depth of Discharge, also called the DoD. The DoD, which is expressed as a percentage, signifies the amount of power you can withdraw from a battery before you should charge it again. Due to their composition, batteries shouldn’t be emptied out completely, so in reality, you won’t use 100% of your battery’s capacity.A lead-acid battery usually has a DoD of 50%, meaning you shouldn’t use more than 50% of its capacity before recharging.Lithium batteries usually have a DoD of 80%, so you can empty it until its about 20% full until you should recharge it.If you do go beyond the recommended DoD you risk significantly reducing the battery’s overall lifespan. The battery cycle is another specification that determines the battery’s lifespan. Batteries have a total number of battery cycles they can complete. One cycle is complete when a fully charged battery is discharged until it’s DoD and then charged back up again to 100%. So the number of cycles a battery can complete is an indication of how long it will last.Finally, the battery’s end of lifetime is another important factor. The industry standard for this specification is 80%. This means that when the battery can only reach 80% of its original capacity, it’s time to replace it.7. Are there financing options for solar batteries? There are some financing options to make solar batteries more affordableIn Scotland, homeowners can get up to 6,000 pounds for a solar battery storage system using the Home Energy Scotland Loan.This is an interest-free loan funded by the Scottish Government to help make energy and money-saving improvements to your home.You can apply for a loan for one energy storage system - including a solar battery storage system. For loan amounts under 5000 pounds you have up to 5 years to pay the loan back, and for loan amounts between 5000 and 9,999 pounds you have up to 10 years. To qualify, you need to either apply for a renewables system at the same time, or already have an existing system that it can connect to.The Smart Export Guarantee is another way to finance your solar battery installation.This scheme, which came into effect in January 2020, enables you to sell surplus electricity back to the national grid at a small price. Not all energy suppliers are obligated to offer this export tariff though, and if they do, they can set their own tariffs (as long as they provide a fair price). A tariff of 4-6 pence per kilowatt hour is common.Not all energy suppliers include exporting energy from a battery storage in their tariffs, so you would have to do your own research and assess whether or not it’s beneficial for your set-up.Customers buying solar batteries along with a new solar PV system can benefit from a VAT reduction, where the VAT is 5% as opposed to the standard 20%. The VAT reduction is only applicable for battery storage systems that are installed at the same time as a solar PV system, where the cost of the equipment doesn’t exceed 60% of the total cost of the installation. And, you must either be over 60 years old or be on income or disability benefits to qualify.Grant schemes can close and terms can change, so for the latest information about financing options we recommend reading our article on GreenMatch.co.uk. The link is in the description below.8. What is the future of solar batteries? Right now, solar batteries don’t make financial sense for everyone, and the price-point is a big drawback for many. It’s said that the price is likely to drop over the years, like it did for solar panels. Whether or not that will happen - time will tell.An area that’s being developed is storage capacity and duration. When talking about this, the flow battery comes to mind. It’s a rechargeable battery, but unlike a lithium battery, it can store more energy for a longer amount of time, enough to power thousands of homes.Over time, the flow battery could be a reasonably priced alternative for domestic solar batteries with longer life cycles, but much of this is still in development.Hopefully by now you have a good idea of how solar batteries work and how they can be beneficial if you do choose to invest in them.Our biggest piece of advice is to always do your research first. If the pro of energy independence outweighs the set-up costs for you, then you could be very happy with a solar battery system.If you found this video useful and you want to see more content like this, then go ahead and subscribe to our channel.

Though lithium batteries are, generally speaking, known as higher quality, you can definitely find high quality lead-acid batteries that can satisfy your energy needs.With that in mind, let’s move on to the next question to consider, which is:6. What battery specifications should you consider?There are many technical specifications and it can be a bit overwhelming figuring out what’s important. Each specification will give you an indication of the capacity factors or lifetime factors.First of all, you need to find a battery with the relevant capacity and power. The capacity you choose ultimately depends on your energy needs. You can find batteries that have a capacity of 3 kilowatt hours or 13 kilowatt hours. You can also stack batteries to increase the total capacity.Now, a battery’s capacity doesn’t directly translate to usable power. To get a better picture of how much usable power a battery can provide, take a look at the power rating, which is measured in kilowatts (kW).The reason why you can’t use the full capacity of a battery is because of the Depth of Discharge, also called the DoD. The DoD, which is expressed as a percentage, signifies the amount of power you can withdraw from a battery before you should charge it again. Due to their composition, batteries shouldn’t be emptied out completely, so in reality, you won’t use 100% of your battery’s capacity.A lead-acid battery usually has a DoD of 50%, meaning you shouldn’t use more than 50% of its capacity before recharging.Lithium batteries usually have a DoD of 80%, so you can empty it until its about 20% full until you should recharge it.If you do go beyond the recommended DoD you risk significantly reducing the battery’s overall lifespan. The battery cycle is another specification that determines the battery’s lifespan. Batteries have a total number of battery cycles they can complete. One cycle is complete when a fully charged battery is discharged until it’s DoD and then charged back up again to 100%. So the number of cycles a battery can complete is an indication of how long it will last.Finally, the battery’s end of lifetime is another important factor. The industry standard for this specification is 80%. This means that when the battery can only reach 80% of its original capacity, it’s time to replace it.7. Are there financing options for solar batteries? There are some financing options to make solar batteries more affordableIn Scotland, homeowners can get up to 6,000 pounds for a solar battery storage system using the Home Energy Scotland Loan.This is an interest-free loan funded by the Scottish Government to help make energy and money-saving improvements to your home.You can apply for a loan for one energy storage system &#8211; including a solar battery storage system. For loan amounts under 5000 pounds you have up to 5 years to pay the loan back, and for loan amounts between 5000 and 9,999 pounds you have up to 10 years. To qualify, you need to either apply for a renewables system at the same time, or already have an existing system that it can connect to.The Smart Export Guarantee is another way to finance your solar battery installation.This scheme, which came into effect in January 2020, enables you to sell surplus electricity back to the national grid at a small price. Not all energy suppliers are obligated to offer this export tariff though, and if they do, they can set their own tariffs (as long as they provide a fair price). A tariff of 4-6 pence per kilowatt hour is common.Not all energy suppliers include exporting energy from a battery storage in their tariffs, so you would have to do your own research and assess whether or not it’s beneficial for your set-up.Customers buying solar batteries along with a new solar PV system can benefit from a VAT reduction, where the VAT is 5% as opposed to the standard 20%. The VAT reduction is only applicable for battery storage systems that are installed at the same time as a solar PV system, where the cost of the equipment doesn’t exceed 60% of the total cost of the installation. And, you must either be over 60 years old or be on income or disability benefits to qualify.Grant schemes can close and terms can change, so for the latest information about financing options we recommend reading our article on GreenMatch.co.uk. The link is in the description below.8. What is the future of solar batteries? Right now, solar batteries don’t make financial sense for everyone, and the price-point is a big drawback for many. It’s said that the price is likely to drop over the years, like it did for solar panels. Whether or not that will happen &#8211; time will tell.An area that’s being developed is storage capacity and duration. When talking about this, the flow battery comes to mind. It’s a rechargeable battery, but unlike a lithium battery, it can store more energy for a longer amount of time, enough to power thousands of homes.Over time, the flow battery could be a reasonably priced alternative for domestic solar batteries with longer life cycles, but much of this is still in development.Hopefully by now you have a good idea of how solar batteries work and how they can be beneficial if you do choose to invest in them.Our biggest piece of advice is to always do your research first. If the pro of energy independence outweighs the set-up costs for you, then you could be very happy with a solar battery system.If you found this video useful and you want to see more content like this, then go ahead and subscribe to our channel.

Now, let’s dive in.1. What are solar batteries and how do they work?A solar battery is an energy storage solution that’s paired with a solar panel system. With a solar battery, you can store electricity your panels generate during the day and then use it when the sun has gone down.As a side note, you can have a battery storage system without solar panels, where you capture power from the national grid to use whenever you want. This wouldn’t be defined as solar battery storage, but rather just ‘battery storage’. In this video, we’ll only focus on solar batteries.There are two types of solar battery storage systems: hybrid systems and off-grid systems.A hybrid system includes battery storage but is supported by the electric grid. With this type of system, your panels can generate electricity during the day and surplus electricity will be sent to your batteries to be stored. Any extra electricity will then be fed to the grid.At night, instead of relying on the grid, you can use the stored electricity from your batteries.An off-grid system doesn’t have the support of the grid – with this type of system you are 100% energy-independent and self-reliant.This means you will need a large enough solar panel system and solar battery to power your household’s energy needs.Off-grid systems are not as common as hybrid systems in the UK, with approximately 75,000 – 100,000 households living off the grid.2. What are the main components of solar batteries?To store solar energy in your batteries, of course you first need solar panels and an inverter. For a full breakdown of how to find the best solar panels, you can check out our other video here.For the batteries specifically, you’ll need:A charge controllerThe batteriesAnd a battery enclosureThe charge controller is an essential component if you have batteries. It regulates the voltage and current flowing from the panels to the batteries, which prevents them from overcharging.The batteries themselves are where the electricity is stored, and the battery enclosure is what houses the batteries to keep them sheltered – for safety regulations purposes.Solar batteries are not cheap, so the main question you need to ask yourself is: are batteries worth the cost?To help you evaluate this, we’ll run you through some key pros and cons of having a solar battery storage system.3. What are the advantages of solar batteries? There are many great reasons to get a solar battery. One the biggest incentive is to:Maximise the use of your solar panel system and increase your energy independenceIf you already have a solar panel system, you’re likely wondering how you can get even more out of it. Without a battery, you’re reliant on the grid to supply electricity when the sun has gone down, which can increase your utility bills. Or, on a day when your panels have generated a surplus, that will just go right back to the grid.With a battery, on the other hand, you’ll be able to save more energy to use when it suits you best. For example, if you’re not home during the day, which is when your panels generate the most units of electricity, you can use a battery to store that energy and instead use it when you get home.For some, having that increased flexibility and independence can mean a great deal and is an incentive to install solar batteries. Being more energy-independent means you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint, which is another great advantage of solar batteries.Solar energy is an abundant source of energy, and with solar batteries you can use even more of that renewable energy source to power your home, thereby reducing your carbon footprint! What’s more, solar batteries can protect you from power cuts.Power cuts can happen for a number of reasons, from severe weather, accidents, or routine works on the network. Fortunately, they don’t occur very often in the UK, but if the August 2019 blackout taught us anything it’s that when they do happen, the effects can be damaging.A common solution to power outages is to use a diesel generator as backup. Not only is this process noisy and disruptive to you and your neighbours, but a diesel generator has a large carbon footprint.A solar battery system can help power certain parts of your home for a few hours, which can be a great buffer if the grid goes down. Now let’s look at some of the disadvantages of solar batteries:4. What are the disadvantages of solar batteries?Before you invest in solar batteries, you need to be aware of their drawbacks. They dont make financial sense for everyone, so the advantages need to outweigh the disadvantages we’re about to go through.First and foremost, you need to be aware of the set-up costs of solar batteries.Depending on the battery size, you could be paying anything from 1,500 to 13,000 pounds. For example, the Tesla Powerwall, which is a 13.5 kilowatt hour battery, currently costs approximately 8,000 pounds. It’s important for you to calculate the return on your investment with your specific energy habits in mind and decide if the high set-up costs are worthwhile. You’re not likely to save money by installing solar batteries, but you will be able to make better use of the electricity your panels generate.If you’re at home all day and you use electricity during the hours your panels are producing electricity, then batteries might not be necessary at all. So, always calculate the ROI before you buy.Another downside to batteries is that their usability is weather-dependent. This is connected to the fact that your panels are weather-dependent, or rather, sunlight-dependent. If you have a day with barely any sunlight, your panels will produce less electricity than on a sunny day, which means your batteries won’t be able to store as much.Having said that, solar panels can still produce energy during overcast days and in the winter. In fact, we dedicated a whole video to cover the topic of how efficient solar panels are in the winter – you can check it out here.Another aspect to know about weather-dependency is that if the temperature drops below freezing, you may see a drop in the functionality of your solar batteries.Low lifespan is another disadvantage of solar batteries. Generally speaking, solar batteries last anywhere from 3 to 12 years, which, if you compare to the lifespan of your solar panels, is of course shorter. The actual lifespan will depend on a number of factors, like the quality and type of battery you buy.The final disadvantage to be aware of is that there is a degree of maintenance needed to preserve a battery’s lifespan. Lead-acid batteries, for example, require a routine cleaning and to have the water levels topped up – and you cant just use regular water, it needs to be distilled water.But lithium-ion batteries barely need any maintenance. 5. What types of batteries are there? The two types of batteries we just mentioned are the two most common domestic solar batteries:Lead-acid batteries, andLithium-ion batteries (which we’ll refer to as just lithium batteries)Lead-acid batteries have been on the market for decades and are usually the more affordable option, while lithium batteries are newer and typically have a longer lifespan.When choosing which battery type to buy, you should look at their specifications. Though lithium batteries are, generally speaking, known as higher quality, you can definitely find high quality lead-acid batteries that can satisfy your energy needs.With that in mind, let’s move on to the next question to consider, which is:6. What battery specifications should you consider?There are many technical specifications and it can be a bit overwhelming figuring out what’s important. Each specification will give you an indication of the capacity factors or lifetime factors.First of all, you need to find a battery with the relevant capacity and power. The capacity you choose ultimately depends on your energy needs. You can find batteries that have a capacity of 3 kilowatt hours or 13 kilowatt hours. You can also stack batteries to increase the total capacity.Now, a battery’s capacity doesn’t directly translate to usable power. To get a better picture of how much usable power a battery can provide, take a look at the power rating, which is measured in kilowatts (kW).The reason why you can’t use the full capacity of a battery is because of the Depth of Discharge, also called the DoD. The DoD, which is expressed as a percentage, signifies the amount of power you can withdraw from a battery before you should charge it again. Due to their composition, batteries shouldn’t be emptied out completely, so in reality, you won’t use 100% of your battery’s capacity.A lead-acid battery usually has a DoD of 50%, meaning you shouldn’t use more than 50% of its capacity before recharging.Lithium batteries usually have a DoD of 80%, so you can empty it until its about 20% full until you should recharge it.If you do go beyond the recommended DoD you risk significantly reducing the battery’s overall lifespan. The battery cycle is another specification that determines the battery’s lifespan. Batteries have a total number of battery cycles they can complete. One cycle is complete when a fully charged battery is discharged until it’s DoD and then charged back up again to 100%. So the number of cycles a battery can complete is an indication of how long it will last.Finally, the battery’s end of lifetime is another important factor. The industry standard for this specification is 80%. This means that when the battery can only reach 80% of its original capacity, it’s time to replace it.7. Are there financing options for solar batteries? There are some financing options to make solar batteries more affordableIn Scotland, homeowners can get up to 6,000 pounds for a solar battery storage system using the Home Energy Scotland Loan.This is an interest-free loan funded by the Scottish Government to help make energy and money-saving improvements to your home.You can apply for a loan for one energy storage system – including a solar battery storage system. For loan amounts under 5000 pounds you have up to 5 years to pay the loan back, and for loan amounts between 5000 and 9,999 pounds you have up to 10 years. To qualify, you need to either apply for a renewables system at the same time, or already have an existing system that it can connect to.The Smart Export Guarantee is another way to finance your solar battery installation.This scheme, which came into effect in January 2020, enables you to sell surplus electricity back to the national grid at a small price. Not all energy suppliers are obligated to offer this export tariff though, and if they do, they can set their own tariffs (as long as they provide a fair price). A tariff of 4-6 pence per kilowatt hour is common.Not all energy suppliers include exporting energy from a battery storage in their tariffs, so you would have to do your own research and assess whether or not it’s beneficial for your set-up.Customers buying solar batteries along with a new solar PV system can benefit from a VAT reduction, where the VAT is 5% as opposed to the standard 20%. The VAT reduction is only applicable for battery storage systems that are installed at the same time as a solar PV system, where the cost of the equipment doesn’t exceed 60% of the total cost of the installation. And, you must either be over 60 years old or be on income or disability benefits to qualify.Grant schemes can close and terms can change, so for the latest information about financing options we recommend reading our article on GreenMatch.co.uk. The link is in the description below.8. What is the future of solar batteries? Right now, solar batteries don’t make financial sense for everyone, and the price-point is a big drawback for many. It’s said that the price is likely to drop over the years, like it did for solar panels. Whether or not that will happen – time will tell.An area that’s being developed is storage capacity and duration. When talking about this, the flow battery comes to mind. It’s a rechargeable battery, but unlike a lithium battery, it can store more energy for a longer amount of time, enough to power thousands of homes.Over time, the flow battery could be a reasonably priced alternative for domestic solar batteries with longer life cycles, but much of this is still in development.Hopefully by now you have a good idea of how solar batteries work and how they can be beneficial if you do choose to invest in them.Our biggest piece of advice is to always do your research first. If the pro of energy independence outweighs the set-up costs for you, then you could be very happy with a solar battery system.If you found this video useful and you want to see more content like this, then go ahead and subscribe to our channel.
