Battery Storage

Get wall-to-wall power with battery storage

Battery storage for your home is a modern reality. Energy generated by solar panels can now be stored in a ‘rechargeable’ battery fixed to a wall in or outside your home, and then used when the sun isn’t shining.

Four key battery storage benefits:

1. Store excess electricity rather than returning to the grid, increasing self-consumption and making your household less reliant on the grid and rising energy bills
2. Self-usage is 300% more economical than exporting your excess energy back to the grid
3. Home batteries provide useful backup power for during blackouts
4. Storage allows for grid trading with aggregators, depending on your energy plan

Ultimately, a battery storage system in an energy-efficient home could remove the need for grid power altogether. In fact, AES Solar has installed solar-plus-battery-solutions for off-grid homes in locations where there is no mains electricity supply at all.
