Solar Energy: Upgrade Your Solar PV System With A Solar Battery
Solar energy is not only a renewable source of power that can significantly reduce energy bills and carbon footprint, but stored energy can contribute to fewer bills and less energy consumption.
Solar panels generates excess electricity during peak sunlight, which can be stored using solar batteries for later use during off peak hours. The energy produced doesn’t only save money, but gives you greater energy independence.
Solar Battery Costs In The UK
Solar battery costs in the UK range from £2,500 to £10,000, depending on the battery size, storage capacity, and battery type. As solar panels produce energy, the bigger the battery, the more the battery stores excess energy. How much electricity a battery stores is also based on wattage.
Lithium-ion batteries are more expensive than lead acid solar batteries but offer longer lifespans and higher efficiency. Installation costs (and the total cost) vary depending on the size of the battery and whether it’s a new or existing system.
At Amco Renewables, we stock multiple batteries from top brands like Solax, GivEnergy, SunSynk, Fox ESS, and Alpha. Get in touch today to see how we can help you stock up on solar batteries.

Solar Panels and Battery Integration
Integrating solar panels with a solar battery system can maximise energy efficiency and savings, along with investing in a brighter and better future with renewable energy.
The annual savings when storing energy with a good size solar battery can be vast, and you may find the initial costs make the long-term savings worthwhile.
Smart Export Guarantee
The Smart Export Guarantee allows homeowners to sell excess energy back to the national grid, meaning the excess power stored in your solar battery (to usable capacity), can also make you money.
The scheme encourages renewable energy usage and helps to reduce carbon emissions, and homeowners can earn up to 4-20p per kilowatt-hour of excess energy exported to the grid.
Battery Storage Benefits
Battery storage allows you to store excess energy generated by your solar panel system for later use. This can not only help to reduce energy bills and increase energy independence, but battery storage can also provide backup power during power outages.
While solar panels alone can produce enough energy to power an average house, the benefits of adding battery storage include reduced energy costs, increased energy efficiency, and a lower carbon footprint.
Are Solar Batteries Worth It?
Absolutely! Solar batteries can help to reduce energy bills and increase energy independence.
The cost of solar batteries is decreasing as technology improves and demand increases, so solar battery price becomes less of an issue when choosing to upgrade to a solar battery storage system.
As well as the benefits of extra energy at your disposal, homeowners and businesses can earn money by selling excess energy back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee, making the battery cost even less important.
To start your clients off on the right foot with solar panels and a solar panel system (complete with storage capacity from a solar battery), get in touch with the friendly team at Amco Renewables. Our monthly offers offer extra discounts on solar panel battery costs, so you can pass on the savings to your customers.
