Solar Battery Storage Dorset | Craddock Renewables Ltd

Maximize Your Savings with Battery Storage

A solar panel array is only half of the equation; adding a modern battery storage system unlocks the full potential of your renewable generation. Craddock Renewables Ltd designs and installs smart battery storage solutions throughout Dorset, enabling homes and businesses to preserve and utilize the solar energy they generate rather than sending it back to the grid for minimal return.

By pairing battery storage with Solar Panels, you can achieve up to 70-80% energy self-sufficiency. Additionally, smart battery systems can be configured to charge from the grid during cheap off-peak night rates (using domestic smart tariffs) to power your heating systems, such as Air Source Heat Pumps, during the day.

Why Invest in Home Energy Storage?

Maximize utilization of self-generated solar energy
Protect your household against utility grid power cuts with backup options
Incorporate off-peak grid charging to lower standard electricity rates
Scale your system easily as your household power demands increase

Frequently Asked Questions

What is solar battery storage?

Solar battery storage systems store the surplus direct current (DC) electricity generated by your solar panels, allowing you to use it later (such as at night) instead of exporting it to the grid.

Can I install battery storage without solar panels?

Yes, you can charge battery storage systems from the grid during off-peak hours on smart tariffs, and then discharge the battery during peak times when electricity is more expensive.

How long can a solar battery power my home?

It depends on the battery's capacity (measured in kWh) and your home's power consumption. A standard 10kWh battery can typically power average household loads (lights, appliances, TV) for a full evening.

What is the lifespan of solar battery storage systems?

Modern lithium-ion batteries are highly reliable and generally last between 10 to 15 years, corresponding to about 6,000 to 10,000 charge-discharge cycles before their capacity degrades.
