A battery should suit the way your home uses energy. Compare storage, compatibility and backup requirements before choosing a model.
Decide what the battery should do
Are you aiming to use more of your solar after sunset, reduce peak-period purchases, or keep essential appliances running during an outage? Write down your priorities. Backup capability needs a suitable system design; do not assume every battery installation will power the whole house during a blackout.
Match storage to your household
Review your evening electricity use and how much spare solar your system produces. Storage capacity is measured in kilowatt-hours, while power capability is measured in kilowatts. Ask your installer to explain both figures, the usable capacity and any limits affecting the appliances you want to run.
Check compatibility and the installation scope
For an existing solar system, provide the inverter model and installation details. Request a quote that identifies the battery model, required electrical work, backup circuits and monitoring arrangements. Compare warranty conditions and the support process alongside the price. Ask Pylon for a recommendation based on your actual system and priorities.
