What is battery storage?

This is different to other levels of battery storage such as in homes (domestic battery storage) or businesses (commercial battery storage). Meanwhile, battery storage simply refers to batteries which store electrochemical energy to be converted into electricity. So, there you have it.

What happens if you don't store a battery?

Without battery storage, a lot of the energy you generate will go to waste. That’s because wind and solar tend to have hour-to-hour variability; you can’t switch them on and off whenever you need them. By storing the energy you generate, you can discharge your battery as and when you need to. ‘But I don’t generate renewables.

Can domestic battery storage be used without renewables?

Short answer: yes. Domestic battery storage without renewables can still benefit you and the grid. This is especially true for those on smart tariffs; charge your battery during cheaper off-peak hours and discharge during more expensive peak hours, cutting your bills and reducing strain on the grid during peak energy use times.

How a battery energy storage system works?

With the rise of EVs, a battery energy storage system integrated with charging stations can ensure rapid charging without straining the power grid by storing electricity during off-peak hours and dispensing it during peak usage.

Should I charge my battery strategically?

As mentioned above, you can charge your battery strategically. GivEnergy home batteries will charge and discharge intelligently by default, taking advantage of cheaper energy rates. However, you can also take a more hands-on approach by setting schedules and timers around your energy usage and lifestyle.

Should you put battery storage in your home?

In short, battery storage in your home can bring the following benefits: Let’s say your home has solar panels on the roof or even a wind turbine in the back garden. Without battery storage, a lot of the energy you generate will go to waste.
