Battery Storage energy systems  are such a great solution to reduce your energy bills, with many of us using more electricity in the home & business. The ongoing update that energy bills are to rise ongoing in 2023-24 ongoing significantly ,A good reason why you need to consider battery storage & when partnered with a well designed solar photovoltaic system will ensure you will be able to use the clean energy provided knowing your energy costs are lower & helpimng create a green future for you & your family.

We are able to offer our customers the opportunity to become more self-sufficient from the big energy companies of the UK offering award winning products such as SolarEdge & Alpha ESS which are recognised in the U.K under the MCS Scheme.

The current market energy providers know offer smart charging schemes tariffs at reduced rates & also free charging periods overnight which will add more savings & value which we can support you with & advise on the most beneficial for your usage needs

 There are many reasons to do this.

Did you know also that you can install batteries to store electrical energy without owning a solar PV system on your property, Now we have grid tied solutions that will charge directly from the grid at low rate times & depending on your energy supplier sometimes at no cost. With great energy storage options available such as Alpha ESS, Giv energi, & Solaredge to name a few products we offer ,we have the right solution for your business & home.

Why should I use solar battery storage?

Imperfection of Traditional Grid-Tied Photovoltaic System
• Grid outage- With Solar PV and Battery storage systems from Modern energy, you are able to generate and use energy when the grid is off. This is perfect for home businesses that need a constant supply of electricity to run.
• Energy Waste when the yield is not utilised- With a battery storage system from Modern energy, you can store the energy that you generate and not use. This energy can then be used throughout your home when your solar panels are not generating eg at night. This means that no energy generated is wasted and sent back to the grid.

Energy storage batteries
Storage batteries help you make the most of renewable electricity from a solar PV system & harness any unused energy. For example, your solar PV system will generate electricity during the day when all the energy being created by the solar system does not get used, this can be stored in your storage battery for you to use when best suited for times of high demand for your business & home!

There are different types of energy storage batteries available for business & homeowners. Capacity ranges from 1kWhr upwards with solutions MEES can offer such as modular build any size storage amount., enough energy to boil your kettle between 10 and 100 times, but there are options for ‘stackable’ or bespoke systems which have more capacity.

What are the benefits of battery storage?

If your home is connected to the grid, an electricity battery will help you make the most of your renewable electricity, meaning your electricity bills will be cheaper and your carbon emissions will be lower. In an off-grid home, battery storage can reduce your reliance on an alternative fossil fuel electricity generator.

How much does battery storage cost?

There is no one cost fits all as each energy storage system is tailored to each homeowner or businesses needs & each enquiry will have different requirements such as, Amount of energy storage required to use, Amount of surplus energy available to store, brand, Cost, Storage placement, On grid, Off grid, Hybrid & much more.

Agile Tariff

Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) payments are no longer available, however we can offer agile tariff options where homeowners are able to sign up to such energy providers as Octupus energy & charge their energy strorage units from the grid at off-peak tariff & free peak tariff offerings .

It is becoming more likely that people with energy storage devices will benefit from payments or reduced tariffs in the future for providing smart services to the grid – for example, allowing their energy storage device, including hot water cylinders, to be used to store excess electricity on the grid.
If you store energy, you’ll still currently get your Feed-in Tariffs export payments for eligible solar PV systems and wind turbines, even if you’re exporting less electricity back to the grid. Payments under the domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) are expected to be unaffected by using home energy storage.

Storing grid electricity

Most energy storage systems offer smart operation allowing users to track energy usage online. As well as storing renewable energy generation, energy storage technology can also be used to store electricity bought from the grid at cheaper times of the day, such as Economy 7 tariffs. As Economy 7 electricity is supplied overnight, you can charge your battery on occasions for free or at reduced costs and benefit from its power during the day.

How do I choose an installer?
Good question?

• A proven track record of being a competent company who are competently trained 
• Ask for evidence of installations.
• No installer or sales person should come to you & offer you directly a solution without carrying out a survey asking relevant questions about your operational habits ,half hourly data, Current energy use, High loads items in the business or home
• And the obvious, Transparency with a good feeling about the relationship of the individual or company your are dealing with.

Battery storage is designed to store solar energy so that it can self-generate power, reducing the constant reliance on solar energy and creating a more efficient energy source. Business & Home storage systems have the potential to increase self-consumption from 30% to as much as 70% when partenered with a solar system, greatly improving the effectiveness of solar energy.

By storing any extra energy that isn’t immediately consumed, Solar PV battery storage can continue to optimise itself and make your home much more energy efficient, and less reliant on grid energy.

How does Solar Battery Storage actually work? Battery storage is designed to effectively provide your home or small business with energy 24-hours a day, no matter what the weather. See our diagram below to see how it all works.
