Before installation, the household's annual electricity cost sat around £4,200, calculated against current tariff rates. Left unchecked, and assuming the long-run UK average electricity inflation rate of 7.2% (based on 2000 to 2022 data), that bill was projected to climb to over £22,000 a year by year 25, with a cumulative spend north of £275,000 across the same period.
A home battery lets you store the energy your solar panels generate during the day and use it when you need it most, rather than sending it back to the grid at a low export rate. The more you can run your home on stored solar, the less you rely on your energy supplier and the more control you have over your bills.
