A battery stores the solar you make at lunchtime so you can use it in the evening, when British homes use the most power and grid prices peak.
When a battery makes sense
If your home is empty during the day and busy in the evening, a battery usually pays back. It also helps on a smart tariff, where it can top up overnight at a fraction of the daytime price.
