Solar panel battery storage
If you have solar panels on your home you may want to consider having a battery installed to store the excess electricity. This allows you to store the electricity and use it at a different time when your demand may be higher. Having battery storage means you can save money, reduce carbon emissions, and supporting the national grid to deliver a stable supply of electricity around the country.

Maintaining battery storage
The lifetime of your battery depends on the technology installed and the way the battery is used. We are able to advise on the expected lifetime the manufacturer gives for your chosen battery in years and or in 'charge-discharge cycles'.
Lifetime expectancies are improving all the time as technology develops. Lithium-ion batteries last longer than lead-acid.
Solar panels can last 25 years or longer, so your storage battery is likely to need replacing in the lifetime of your solar system. Normally your battery storage system will give you an indication of when your batteries need replacing.
You didn't install my solar panels, are you able to install a battery for me?
Yes, here at Swale Heating we have years of experience installing batteries for solar panels. All we need from you to provide you with a quote is some pictures and details about your current solar panel set up.
Will installing a battery save me money?
In short, yes. You will rely less on electricity from the grid, therefore you will pay less money. However, you do need to review the potential savings against the cost of installation, and how long the battery will last to get a true picture of your savings.
