Getting started with domestic battery storage

Domestic battery storage systems give you the ability to run your property on battery power. With a storage battery in place, you can store green energy for later use – meaning you don''t have to draw from the grid during peak hours. In the first instance, a storage battery can take its charge from renewables.
