As the colder months approach and sunlight hours decrease, many homeowners wonder if their solar panels and batteries can still deliver savings during winter. While it’s true that there’s less solar energy available to charge your Duracell home battery, solar batteries remain an incredibly valuable asset. Not only do they provide a way to store excess energy on brighter days, but they also enable you to optimise your energy usage when paired with tools like the My Energi Zappi car charger or the My Energi immersion heater controller. Here’s why investing in solar power storage batteries is still a smart decision, even in the winter months in Northern Ireland.
How Can I Save with Economy 7 Tariffs in Winter?
While you might not generate as much excess solar power to fully charge your home storage battery during winter (this is perfectly normal), there’s still an excellent way to make your solar system work for you. Many homeowners switch to an Economy 7 tariff, which offers cheaper electricity rates during the night. This means you can charge your Duracell home battery or SolarEdge battery overnight at a reduced rate, allowing you to rely on stored energy during the day and significantly lower your electricity bills.
Between the solar energy you generate and the reduced-rate electricity stored in your battery, you’ll still reduce your electricity costs—even during the darker months. In Northern Ireland, where energy costs are rising, this is a game-changer for households. With an efficient home storage battery system, you can take advantage of these cheaper rates and offset your daytime electricity usage, even when the sun isn’t shining.
How Can I Optimise Daytime Solar Panels NI?
To get the most out of your solar panels and batteries during winter, it’s crucial to plan your energy use wisely. By running heavy electrical appliances like your washing machine, dishwasher, and tumble dryer one at a time during daylight hours, you maximise the use of solar power and reduce the need to pull electricity from the grid.
This practice ensures you’re using as much solar energy as possible during the day and helps extend the life of your Duracell home battery or SolarEdge Energy bank by preventing unnecessary grid reliance. Simple changes like these can lead to noticeable savings, even in the darker months.
