FAQ's - Solar Panels
A solar battery stores energy from your solar panels. It’s like having a backup of electricity for when you need it most. This means that even on a cloudy day you can have a reliable energy supply. Use it to boil the kettle, charge your phone or even run a hot bath.
York residents can get a government grant to help pay for a solar battery. Our advisers can help you select the right solar battery for your home and connect you with accredited suppliers to get it installed. They can also explain how you can apply for a grant, making it more affordable to enjoy the benefits of solar energy.

Solar batteries explained
Solar panels absorb sunlight and turn it into electricity. A solar battery stores this electricity to use later.
During the night or on a cloudy day you will need more power than your panels can produce. This is when the solar battery will kick in. Solar batteries make solar systems more reliable and efficient. This is perfect for dark winter evenings in York.
What do solar batteries look like and where will they fit in your house?
Solar batteries are compact units. They are typically around one metre wide and one to two metres tall, depending on how much power they produce. This is about the size of an average fridge freezer.
Our advisers can help you find the best location for your solar battery. You can store them anywhere in your home. The battery is wired neatly to your solar panels, keeping things organised. Most people prefer to keep them in their garage, utility room or in a cupboard.
