Store Surplus Electricity
Save the electricity you don’t use during the day instead of sending it straight back to the grid.
Why Battery Storage?
Make More of Every Unit You Generate.
Solar panels often generate the most electricity when you’re not at home. Battery storage lets you keep that energy for later, helping you buy less electricity from the grid and get even more value from your solar system.
Use Energy After Dark
Power your home in the evening using electricity you generated earlier in the day.
Reduce Reliance on the Grid
Use more of your own electricity and buy less from your energy supplier.
Lower Your Electricity Bills
The more electricity you use from your battery, the less you need to buy from the grid.
Get More from Solar
Battery storage helps you use more of the electricity your solar panels generate.
Future-Ready Energy
Battery storage gives you greater flexibility as home energy technology continues to evolve.
Solar & Battery Storage
A Better Way to Use the Electricity You Generate.
Without a battery, any electricity your home doesn’t use immediately is exported back to the grid. Add battery storage and you can keep that energy to power your home later, when you need it most.
Without a battery
Surplus electricity is exported to the grid the moment your home stops using it.
With a battery
Store surplus electricity during the day and use it later in the evening, instead of buying it back.
Is Battery Storage Right for You?
Five Things We Look At.
Battery storage isn’t essential for every home, but it can make a big difference depending on how you use your electricity. During your survey, we’ll assess these key factors before making a recommendation.
Existing Solar
Already have solar panels? Battery storage can help you use more of the electricity you’re already generating.
Future Solar
Planning solar at the same time? We’ll design a system where both technologies work together from day one.
Evening Electricity Use
If you use more electricity in the evenings, battery storage can help reduce how much you buy from the grid.
Installation Space
We’ll identify the most suitable location for your battery and ensure it meets all installation and safety requirements.
Battery Size
Every battery is sized around your home and your energy usage, helping you get the best long-term value.
Why Arktek?
A Battery Is Only as Good as the System Around It.
A battery has to talk to your panels, your inverter and your home. Designing that properly is the difference between a battery that earns its keep and one that sits on the wall.
Quality Battery Systems
We fit trusted battery systems from leading manufacturers, chosen for their performance, safety and long-term value.
Expert System Design
Sized around your usage, not around the biggest invoice. A battery that is too large never pays for the capacity you never use.
Experienced Local Engineers
Our own North East engineers carry out every installation, with the same care whether it is a full solar and battery system or a battery on its own.
MCS Certified Installations
Arktek are MCS certified for battery storage as well as solar PV, which is the standard the industry is measured against.
Ongoing Support
We commission the system, show you how to read it, and we are still here afterwards if you need us.
