Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into electricity, helping to lower reliance on the grid and reduce carbon footprints. However, solar power generation is intermittent and not always synchronised with on-site electricity demand. Battery storage can address this by
storing surplus daytime solar power for use at night or during peak tariff periods. This module offers a high-level overview of:

  • Why battery storage should be considered alongside PV.
  • When it is worthwhile.
  • What primary factors (technical, financial, regulatory) must be reviewed.
  • How to incorporate insights from a feasibility study (e.g. NFU Energy’s proof of concepton roof-mounted PV).
