Are you considering a home backup battery? Here are some advantages of the technology. Battery backup systems prepare you for grid power problems like blackouts and power outages. These systems allow you to store energy for later use, helping reduce energy costs, dependence on grid electricity, and environmental impact. Battery storage also puts you in
How to keep your battery storage system in top condition.
An energy crunch is causing higher oil and gas prices. The war in Ukraine caused these prices to soar even higher. As a result, governments on both sides of the Atlantic are racing to build more wind and solar to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Enter energy storage. The UK government is planning to have installed 50
A few words about how we at Circular Energy Storage experienced the market in 2021 and what we will look for in 2022. When battery recyclers buy scrap lithium-ion batteries, or black mass, the not so specific intermediary powder from crushed cells, the prices are usually set as a percentage of the price at
An increasing number of homeowners are investing in residential energy storage systems (RESS) solutions to reduce inconveniences associated with power outages and in some cases, reduce costs and increase their use of renewable power. This was one of the findings in a new report from Guidehouse Insights, examining the global market for RESS solutions
Spiralling UK energy prices and the collapse of several power suppliers recently has illustrated the danger of over-reliance for our energy needs on large companies. And with the rise of distributed renewable power sources, such as roof top solar and battery storage, the time is ripe for a re-think of our energy systems. The
Everyone is talking about the vanishing gap between household incomes and the affordability of rooftop solar, and that’s a good thing. Throw a home battery energy storage system into the mix, though, and the gap reappears. Now add the virtual power plant model, and the gap could turn into a yawning chasm of benefits,
Annual residential battery storage installations in Europe passed the 100,000 mark for the first time ever in 2020, reaching a cumulative total of 3GWh capacity. The upward trajectory is set to continue and accelerate, according to SolarPower Europe, with a combination of economic and non-economic drivers propelling a 400% growth over five years. The
Here's an interesting recent solar install, covering different roof types. This photo has been taken from footage captured by our drone. On the left is a conventional pitched roof install, here on slate tiles. On the right we can see panels on flat roof frames with ballast, on a dormer roof. Solar install,
Solar panels require some upfront expenditure. But they also carry a huge range of benefits for you and the planet, including decades of energy savings! Are Solar Panels Worth It? Renewable energy is the future! Now, more than ever, the UK has a great relationship with renewable energy. We’re the world’s biggest generator of
