Energy solutions
Explore the options below. Each guide explains how the technology works, what it costs and whether it could suit your home.
Solar and battery, working together
Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, and a home battery can save the surplus for use later, when the panels are not producing. Together they help your home use more of the energy it produces before buying from the grid.
The benefits
Generate and store more of your own power.
Use your own energy first, before buying from the grid.
Store surplus generation and use more of it later.
May reduce what you buy from your supplier over time.
Results vary depending on your property, usage and the system installed.
UK grants and funding
UK government, supplier and local schemes may help with the cost of renewable energy and efficiency improvements. Eligibility and availability change, so it is worth checking what currently applies to you.
