Ask a question about home battery storage

Not sure whether a battery fits the way your home uses electricity, or where one could go? Send your question. Solar Power Battery Storage is an independent guide, not a battery company, and we answer by email.

Details that help us answer

  1. Your yearly electricity use, from a bill or smart meter app, and roughly how much of it is in the evening.
  2. Whether you have panels, their size in kWp, and last year's export if you know it.
  3. What you want the battery for: evenings, cheaper overnight charging, power cuts, or a mix.
  4. Where it might go: an outside wall, a garage, an outbuilding, or inside.

What happens to your message

SEO-DONS LTD, which publishes this guide, reads it and answers by email using the same sources as the guide. We don't add you to a mailing list or pass your details on. If a question comes up often, we may improve the relevant page so the next reader finds the answer there, without anything that identifies you.

Questions this guide is built to answer

The guide was written around a handful of questions: whether a battery of a given usable size would actually empty each evening in your home, whether storage still makes sense for panels that have been on the roof for years, what a quoted backup function would and wouldn't keep running, whether a garage or an outside wall is the better spot under PAS 63100, and why a quote mentions a G99 application. If your question is one of these, the matching page may already answer it, and our reply will point you to the exact section.

Before you press send

If you can, run the sizing helper first and include its result in your message, along with the usable size of any battery you have been quoted. Two numbers like that, set against your own yearly use, let us give a much more specific answer than a general description of the house. And if your question is really about price, say so: we'll tell you honestly that this guide stays with energy and fit, and suggest what to compare instead.
