A home battery stores electricity so that it can be used at a later time. When combined with solar panels, the battery can capture surplus electricity generated during the day instead of exporting all of it immediately.
The stored power may then be used during the evening, overnight, or whenever household electricity demand exceeds current solar generation.
Electric11 installs battery systems for:
Our wider electrician service in Salhouse also covers solar panels, EV chargers, EICRs, rewiring, repairs, and general electrical upgrades.

A home battery charges when electricity is available and discharges when your property needs additional power.
With a solar PV system, electricity generated by the panels is first used by appliances operating in the home. When the panels generate more electricity than the property is using, the surplus can charge the battery.
Once the battery is full, additional electricity may be exported to the grid.
When solar generation falls or household demand rises, the battery can discharge and supply stored electricity to the property. The home draws electricity from the grid when the battery does not have enough stored energy to meet demand.
The exact operating sequence depends on the inverter, battery, tariff, system settings, and installed energy-management equipment.

Moreover, through our extensive network, we have forged strong connections with quality tradesmen representing various disciplines in our area.
A battery does not always need to be installed with solar panels.
A standalone battery can be charged using grid electricity. Households on compatible time-of-use tariffs may charge the battery during lower-cost periods and use the stored electricity when grid prices are higher.
Whether this approach is financially suitable depends on:
Electric11 can review your usage and discuss whether standalone battery storage is appropriate for your property.
Find Out if Battery Storage Is Right for You
Battery storage can increase the amount of solar electricity used within your home.
Without a battery, unused daytime solar generation is typically exported to the grid. A battery allows some of that electricity to be saved for later, which may reduce the amount of electricity you need to purchase during the evening.
A combined solar and battery system can be designed as one coordinated installation. This allows the panels, inverter, battery, monitoring platform, and protective equipment to be selected with compatibility in mind.

The most suitable capacity depends on how much electricity your home uses, when that electricity is used, the size of your solar array, and what you want the battery to achieve.
We may review:
A battery that is too small may not store enough surplus energy. A battery that is too large may frequently remain partly unused.
Electric11 will recommend a system based on your actual property and electricity profile rather than relying on a generic package.

Yes. A standalone battery can charge using grid electricity. Households on suitable time-of-use tariffs may charge during lower-cost periods and use the stored electricity later.
Many existing solar systems can be upgraded with battery storage. Electric11 will assess the inverter, solar array, consumer unit, electrical capacity, equipment compatibility, and proposed battery location.
The right capacity depends on your daily electricity use, solar generation, evening demand, tariff, EV charging requirements, and energy goals. Electric11 will review these factors before recommending a system.
Not every battery provides backup power automatically. A compatible system and additional backup equipment may be required to operate selected circuits during an outage.
Possible locations include a garage, utility room, plant room, outbuilding, suitable cupboard, or external wall. The final position must meet electrical, environmental, access, and manufacturer requirements.
Yes. Compatible batteries can be scheduled to charge during lower-cost tariff periods. Potential savings depend on tariff rates, system efficiency, battery capacity, and household electricity use.
Qualifying residential battery installations are currently zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, including qualifying standalone batteries and batteries installed with solar panels.
Yes. Electric11 provides free, no-obligation quotations based on your electricity usage, property, existing solar equipment, chosen battery, and installation requirements.
