Key Features of Battery Storage with Grid Integration:
Export Surplus Energy:
Sell excess stored energy back to the grid during high-demand periods.
Octopus Flux Compatible:
Benefit from one of the best smart export tariffs available.
Energy Bill Savings:
Offset rising electricity costs through greater self-consumption.
Peak-Time Profits:
Charge your battery from the grid during off-peak times (if needed).
No Solar? No Problem:
No Solar? No Problem: Battery-only systems can still buy low and sell high with the right
tariff.

Key Benefits
Boost Your Solar Self-Consumption with Battery Storage
By installing battery storage alongside your Solar PV system, you can significantly
increase your self-consumption of solar energy—from around 30–40% up to
70–80%. This means greater savings on your energy bills and a shorter payback
period for your solar investment.
Battery storage is especially valuable if you're away from home during the
day—when solar generation is at its peak. Instead of exporting excess energy back
to the grid, a battery allows you to store that energy for use later, such as in the
evening when your energy use typically increases. This way, you're using more of
your own renewable energy and relying less on your energy supplier.
Turn Your Battery Storage into an Income Stream
Sell Excess Energy Back to the Grid with Solar PV &Battery Storage
With a Solar PV and Battery Storage system installed, you can do more than just
reduce your energy bills — you can also sell excess energy back to the grid, turning
your system into a potential revenue generator.
While self-consumption remains the most cost-effective way to use your solar
energy, any surplus stored in your battery can be exported during peak demand
periods, when export rates are at their highest — such as between 4pm and 7pm.
By taking advantage of smart export tariffs like Octopus Flux, you can maximise the
financial return from your system. Octopus Flux is designed specifically for homes
with both solar and battery storage, offering higher export rates during peak times.
Standalone Battery Storage — No Solar Needed
Backup Power & Energy Flexibility Without Solar Panels
You don’t need solar panels to benefit from a battery storage system. Standalone battery
setups allow you to take control of your energy use, reduce your reliance on the grid, and
provide emergency backup power during outages — all without installing Solar PV.
Backup Power for Peace of Mind
Beyond energy savings, battery storage offers the crucial benefit of keeping the lights on
when the grid goes down. Whether you're at home or running a business, systems can be
configured to back up your entire property or just essential circuits, including:
Lighting
Heating controls
Security systems (intruder alarms, CCTV)
Smoke and fire alarms
Low-load socket circuits
Smart Energy Usage — With or Without Solar
Standalone batteries can also be paired with smart tariffs like Octopus Flux, allowing you to:
Charge your battery during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper Discharge and export energy back to the grid during peak times, when rates are higher
This means you can buy low and sell high, even without generating solar power — making battery storage a smart, flexible solution for homes and businesses alike.
