Energy from fossil fuels is becoming increasingly expensive, and prices are still rising. To combat this, solar panels and solar battery storage provide you with clean energy, significantly reducing the need to draw power from the main energy grid and reducing the impact of power outages and load shedding. Furthermore, batteries are estimated to reduce your energy bill by 35%. A smart choice for homeowners and business.

Tips
What to look out for when buying a home battery?
✓ Find a reputable company with a comprehensive quote
Choose a reputable company that supplies a high quality home battery with solid guarantees. With 12 years of experience in the sustainable energy industry, Soly is a reliable partner.
✓ Choose the correct capacity home battery
You might wonder what size battery you need. Many home batteries have different power ratings. The right choice depends on your energy use, production, and storage goals. Our advisors can help you find the best battery for your needs during a during a no-obligation consultation.
✓ Home battery life
A home battery is a long-term investment, so it’s vital to select one with a long lifespan. Lifespan is measured in years or charging cycles (a full charge and discharge is one cycle). Soly offers a 10-year product warranty and guarantees 6,000 charging cycles. The average lifespan of Soly’s home battery is 17.3 years.
✓ Other factors such as dimensions, weight and noise
Home batteries differ in size and weight based on their capacity. Generally, larger batteries have higher capacity and weigh more. It’s also important to consider the type of inverter used, as some can be noisy. Soly provides various batteries that can be mounted on the ground or wall, including inverters that don’t create noise pollution. Additionally, ensure you understand how a home battery works and how to connect it effectively.
✓ Home battery costs and payback period
The price of a home battery may vary depending on the type and capacity. Our battery experts can provide a custom quote tailored to your situation during an online consultation.
Still unsure about a home battery? It’s good to weigh up the pros and cons. A home battery helps you store energy and use it more efficiently, but the initial investment can be a hurdle. Our advisors are happy to help you make the right choice and ensure you benefit from sustainable energy.

Frequently Asked Questions about Home Batteries
Do I need battery storage?
+
-
You may not need a battery as a solar energy system can work without it. There are advantages to having solar battery backup for specific energy solutions, though not required for everyone.
A backup battery is useful for when the grid is unavailable or when you want to minimise your electricity usage. For example, making use of stored solar energy can help decrease your electricity bill and your dependence on the grid itself.
How does battery storage work with solar panels?
+
-
Do you already possess solar panels? Great job! Thanks to solar panels, your dependency on the grid reduces big time. However, once the sun goes down, you'll still be in need of energy from the traditional grid. Thanks to battery storage, your dependency on the grid is limited. You’ll be able to store the surplus of power generated from your solar panels, and use it later on.
Can I add a battery storage system to my existing solar panels?
+
-
Yes, you can add battery storage and Soly can provide one that is suitable for your power sys.
Can a battery power my entire home during a power outage?
+
-
A high-quality home battery can provide enough power to keep your lights on, refrigerator running, and other appliances operational during an outage.
How long can a battery store solar energy?
+
-
Once the power is stored in the home battery, it can be used immediately or at a later time. There is no time limit attached to this. If you then still have a surplus of generated energy, while battery storage is maxed out, you can reinject the energy to the energy grid.
Is it worth investing in a battery storage system?
+
-
In our view it is. Once you are able to store energy on a battery storage system, you will find yourself in a situation where load-shedding no longer affects you. The increased efficiency of solar energy is in itself enough reason to consider the solar battery. This is going to make a big difference both financially and in terms of comfort.
What are the advantages of having a battery storage system?
+
-
Solar panels will make us less dependent on the energy grid. About 30 to 50 percent of our power consumption, on average, comes directly from your solar system. The home battery offers numerous additional benefits, such as:
- Higher efficiency of own solar energy
- Even less dependent on the energy grid
- Less sensitive to impact of load-shedding
- Reduces home carbon footprint
- Reduced electricity bill
What is the lifespan of a solar battery?
+
-
Soly guarantees teminly 6,000 charging cycles while providing a 15-year product warranty. One charge cycle represents the full charging and discharging of the battery.
Are there any government incentives for installing a battery storage system?
+
-
At the current moment, no.
What maintenance is required for a solar battery?
+
-
There should be sufficient space and ventilation when the battery is installed. After installation, minimal to no maintenance is needed.
