Take control of your power
Instead of paying for all your electricity from the grid, your solar panels generate power for your home and your battery stores what you do not use straight away. You can then use that stored energy in the evening or on dull days, rather than buying at standard rates.
With the right tariff, your battery can also be charged at cheaper off-peak times, giving you more control over when you pay for electricity and how much you draw from the grid.
Lower energy bills from day one
Your savings start from the day your installation is complete, as your home begins using solar energy instead of buying as much from your supplier. From that point on, more of your daily usage is covered by power you generate yourself.
On average, Project Solar customers save £891 in the first year, helped by combining solar panels with smart battery storage so less of their usage falls into higher-priced units
Earn by selling back to the grid
When your panels and battery produce more energy than your home needs, the excess can be exported back to the grid through an eligible export tariff.
You are paid for the energy you do not use yourself, turning spare electricity into an extra income stream while still keeping enough in your battery for your own needs.

Saving with solar and battery
It stores the solar you make and keeps it ready for when your home needs it most, which is especially helpful during the winter months when daylight hours are shorter.
By holding on to more of the power you generate, the battery reduces how much you need to buy from the grid and gives you steadier savings across the year.
Battery capacity can also be scaled to suit your home. Larger homes or higher usage can be matched with bigger storage, while smaller households can choose a setup that fits their needs without overspending.
Battery optimisation
With the right setup, your battery can be programmed to charge during off-peak times when electricity prices are lower, and then power your home during peak-rate periods. This helps shift more of your usage into cheaper hours and cut the cost of each unit you consume.
If you are on an export tariff, any excess stored energy you do not need at home can be sold back to the grid at agreed rates. In effect, you get paid for energy you do not use yourself, turning smart battery use into an extra source of value.
By combining off-peak charging, daytime solar generation and peak-time export, a well-run battery can work quietly in the background to keep your costs down and make the most of every kilowatt-hour your system produces.

Nothing changes with your energy use or bills. You stay linked to your current supplier and whatever price changes come your way. Many people decide to explore solar once they realise they are paying for power they could generate themselves. Waiting simply means those costs continue, and you won’t start saving until you do go solar.
Yes. Solar panels work from daylight, not direct sunlight, and the UK gets more than enough across the year for systems to perform well. Output is higher in spring and summer, but panels still produce energy on cloudy days and during the winter months.
Adding a battery can make a big difference in darker seasons. It lets you store any surplus energy made during brighter periods of the day and use it later, such as in the evening when usage is higher. This helps smooth out the natural changes in winter output and gives you better use of the energy your system produces all year round.
Panels on your roof turn daylight into electricity. This passes through an inverter, which changes it into the type of power your home uses. Your house uses this energy first, cutting the amount you buy from the grid. If you add a battery, any extra power can be stored for later, which helps you make the most of the energy you produce each day.
Higher gas prices, world events, and shifts in supply all feed into the cost the UK pays for power. These pressures flow through to household bills because much of the country still relies on gas-fired power stations. As a result, many people look for ways to reduce how much of their energy comes from the grid and protect themselves from price swings in future.
