Solar Battery Storage

Solar battery storage allows you to store excess electricity generated by your solar panels and use it when you need it most. By adding a battery system, you can increase self consumption, reduce reliance on the grid and make better use of the energy your solar panels produce.

At RT Solar, we design and install battery storage systems for homes across Milton Keynes and surrounding areas, helping homeowners get more value from their solar installations.

What Is Solar Battery Storage?

Solar battery storage systems store unused electricity generated by your solar panels during the day so it can be used later in the evening or during peak demand periods. Instead of exporting excess energy back to the grid, you can store it and use it within your home.

Battery systems can be installed alongside a new solar panel system or retrofitted to many existing installations, providing greater energy independence and improved control over household energy usage.

How Solar Battery Storage Works

Energy Generation

Your solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, supplying power to your home first.

Energy Storage

Any excess electricity is stored safely in the battery rather than being exported to the grid.

Energy Use

Stored energy can be used later in the day, overnight or during peak tariff periods.

Benefits of Adding Battery Storage

  • Increase self consumption of solar energy
  • Reduce electricity bills
  • Use stored energy during peak times
  • Improve energy independence
  • Prepare your home for future energy changes

Battery Storage Installation Options

Battery storage systems can be installed as part of a new solar panel installation or added to many existing solar PV systems. During your survey, we assess compatibility with your current inverter and electrical setup to determine the best solution.

We work with trusted battery manufacturers and select systems based on performance, reliability and suitability for your home.

Future Ready Energy Solutions

Solar battery storage plays an important role in future proofing your home energy system. Eligible solar battery installations benefit from a 0% VAT exemption, helping reduce the overall cost of upgrading your energy setup.

Batteries can work alongside EV chargers, time of use tariffs and smart energy controls to help you manage when and how you use electricity, while taking advantage of VAT free solar battery storage.

Our team designs systems that allow flexibility for future upgrades as your energy needs change, ensuring your system remains compliant with current 0% VAT exemption rules and ready for future technologies.
