Renewable energy storage systems

Enabling energy to be stored and released when needed

 

WHAT IS AN ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM?

An energy storage system enables you to optimise the way you use energy to maximise efficiency. Energy storage systems have a diverse range of applications; they can be installed by homeowners to store unused energy generated by solar thermal or solar pv systems and they can also be implemented in industrial processes to repurpose waste heat generated in manufacturing. We offer two types of energy storage systems, electrical and thermal. 

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEMS?

Battery Storage

 

  • When paired with a renewable energy source e.g. solar thermal or solar pv, you can maximise your use of clean, carbon-free energy which has zero cost

  • Reduced energy bills (proven savings of up to 75%)

  • Load shifting capabilities - charge your battery when energy costs less and deploy the energy when prices rise to reduce your energy bill even further

  • Make your property more self sufficient and independent (ideal for off-grid properties)

  • Long-lasting lifespans with little maintenance requirements

 

LOAD SHIFTING

One of the benefits of having a battery storage system is compatibility with variable energy tariffs and the ability to load shift. This means you can charge your battery when the price of electricity is low and release it when the price rises, saving you money on your utlity bills. Agile Octopus from Octopus Energy is one of these tariffs and because they use 100% renewable electricity, it means that your system will be 100% carbon free too.

 

THERMAL HEAT STORAGE SYSTEMS

SunampOur thermal heat storage systems enable you to store and transfer heat as a usable asset. We supply Sunamp thermal energy batteries which are available in a variety of sizes and which can also be connected in cascade systems and supplied on pallets and in shipping containers for industrial uses. These batteries have proven savings of up to 75% on energy bills and a lifespan of 40,000 cycles which is the equivalent of 50 years of use making them a great investment that's both economical and efficient. Compatible with a range of power sources from heat pumps and solar to traditional heating systems such as combi boilers - they have unlimited applications and scalability.

ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS

 

powerwallWe offer the Tesla PowerWall for electrical storage systems. Storing electricity offers many of the same benefits as heat storage but with one added extra - you can benefit from the Tesla tariff from Octopus Energy which offers the ability for you to export your surplus energy back to the grid and get paid to do so. The current Tesla tariff rates are:

  • 24/7 import rate of 8p / kWh for current Tesla vehicle owners and 11p / kWh for non-Tesla vehicle owners. The lowest flat rate tariff available in the market (as of October 2020)

  • 24/7 export rate of 8p / kWh for current Tesla vehicle owners and 11p / kWh for non-Tesla vehicle owners for any electricity you export - up to 100% more than the highest flat S.E.G. tariff on the market (as of October 2020) 

As part of this network you'd essentially become part of the UK's first virtual powerplant, generating and exporting energy along with thousands of other Tesla Powerwall customers and could save up to 75% on your energy bills compared to the big 6 energy providers.

WHY CHOOSE one of our energy storage systems?

We've been designing and integrating renewable energy systems since 2006, providing us with unbeatable knowledge and understanding of how to optimise each system for maximum efficiency. We're also specialists of integrating systems together and can provide heat pumps, solar thermal, solar pv, batteries as part of the same project, designing them to work in harmony.

 Frequently Asked Questions 

 

Will a battery work with my existing panels?

Yes. If you already have solar panels, we can supply and fit a battery to your existing system.

Can I have more than one battery?

Most households only need one battery, however depending on your power requirements we can add more batteries to your system.

Where will the battery go?

The battery system is designed to be wall or ground mounted - and is usually installed in the loft of your home. For homes without a loft, the installer will be able to give you alternative options, such as the garage or under the stairs.

How long does installation take?

It will take Effective Home approximately 3-4 hours to install a battery to an existing solar panel system. To install solar panels and a battery, it will take us 1 day.

How much will a battery save me?

The benefits vary greatly from household to household, as everyone uses energy differently and at different times of the day. However, after completing a remote survey, we'll be able to provide you with a custom report showing your homes savings with a solar panel and battery system.
