The energy library / Battery storage

Save energy for the moments that matter.

Storage can move energy from one part of the day to another. The useful question is how much you can shift, what it costs and what you want the battery to do.

01 / Capacity

Usable kWh tells you how much energy you can store. Daily demand tells you how much you might use.

02 / Power

The charge and discharge limits determine which loads the system can support at the same time.

03 / Purpose

Tariff savings, solar self-use and power-cut protection each need a different set of assumptions.

A smaller starting point

Curious about plug-in solar?

Solar-only kits and home batteries solve different problems. Start with the connection, then compare what each could do for you.
