Solar Battery Storage
If you're looking at investing in solar panels, or already have them on your roof, then it's worth considering your solar battery storage. By storing the energy produced by your panels during the day, you can ensure that your panels can continue to power your evening activities once the sun has set.
With over three years' experience installing solar batteries, we're your go-to installers for all things renewable in the North of England.

What is a Solar Battery?
A solar battery operates by storing the electricity produced by your solar PV panels. By doing this, you help to ensure that your home electricity usage doesn't revert back to the national grid as soon as the sun sets and your panels stop generating.
Modern solar battery storage systems have an expected lifespan of between 5 - 15 years depending on the model and your usage habits - our qualified team will give you more details before fitting your solar battery. An extended lifespan means that you will generally have plenty of time in which to regain your investment from the energy savings.
Integrating Solar Batteries
A solar battery doesn't need to go right next to your solar panels - despite what many people think, they're not directly connected so this gives some leeway in placement. Your solar panels will connect directly to your consumer unit (more commonly known as a fuse box). The solar battery comes into play regarding the connection between your fuse box and the grid. When it detects that you're drawing power from the grid, it will switch to using your solar battery as the energy source instead.
In times when your solar panels are producing more energy than you're currently using, the excess will be sent back to the fuse box and then diverted into your solar battery instead of being fed back to the grid.
Benefits Of Solar Batteries
Installing solar batteries can benefit your finances through its efficiency via using stored solar energy during periods of low light weather conditions and during the night. This prevents your energy being drawn out from the national grid thus reducing your energy bills. Furthermore, when energy bills are rising, through the efficiency of solar storage batteries, they will provide you with some financial protection with the fluctuations of energy prices. As a result, whatever the energy prices are, you will always save money.
Solar batteries also enable environmentally friendly and sustainable living through using a renewable source of energy - the sun. with this, it reduces your home's carbon footprint.
Additionally, solar battery storage can be installed any time after and with solar panel installation.

We had an ASHP installed by Warmaway at the end of Feb 2021 to replace storage heaters, it has completely transformed our house! Lukewarm (at best) rooms are now nice and toasty, and by all accounts so far at a fraction of the cost. Before choosing Warmaway we researched the technology and canvassed a few installers, John was the only one that was open with discussing the intricacies of the proposed system and gave us confidence that we would end up with something properly sized and installed as well as making other complimentary recommendations for ways we could improve the thermal efficiency of our
house.
All the team on site were extremely polite, tidy and hardworking and it was a pleasure to watch a skilled team do a professional job. Everything was left clean and tidy at the end and the system was explained properly. We had a courtesy follow up visit just to check we were happy with the system and tweak any settings. 2 months later everything is working perfectly and we are very happy. I recommend Warmaway to anyone who enquires about our new ASHP.
Warmaway installed an Air Source Heat Pump and several new radiators for us. Everything about the process was professional, courteous and efficient. The quote was clear and competitive and everything was explained about the system, the installation and the RHI grant. We were kept informed at every stage and knew when to expect the team to come and work.
We are 100% satisfied with our new air source heating system from Warmaway. The team were professional, courteous and very friendly. The installation has solved all the challenges we had with our ageing heat pump. I have no hesitation in recommending Warmaway for your needs.
