Octopus Energy has announced the launch of a new smart tariff aimed at consumers with domestic solar and battery storage. The company says the tariff could unlock more than £450 of savings per year for consumers and help to balance the grid. ‘Intelligent Octopus Flux’ (IOF) will offer the same rate for both importing and
Maximizing Solar Energy: The Rise of Smart Homes and Grid-Connected Systems The future of sustainable living is rapidly approaching, and one of the most promising developments in this field is the integration of residential solar battery storage systems. As the world moves towards a more eco-friendly and energy-efficient lifestyle, the need
Texas, along with much of the South, has been subject to a relentless, prolonged heat wave for several weeks – the kind of climate-fueled extreme weather event that scientists have warned us will happen with increasing frequency. This particular event is so extreme that Texas has been hotter than 99% of the Earth. But unlike
Maximizing Energy Savings: A Comprehensive Guide to Residential Solar Battery Storage Systems The adoption of solar energy in residential areas has seen a significant surge in recent years, as homeowners are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental and financial benefits of harnessing the power of the sun. One of the key components of a solar
GivEnergy All in One We have been installing GivEnergy battery systems for quite a few years and have generally found them to be effective and value for money. Like most of the other systems we install they have consisted of separate inverters and batteries. For some time, however, we have heard of the launch
A report by conservation organisation WWF and ScottishPower has found that making low carbon improvements – including installing solar panels – could increase the value of domestic properties by up to £10,000. Increasing property value adds to the substantial benefits offered by installing low-carbon technologies such as solar panels and electric vehicle (EV) chargers; for example the
The increasing popularity of residential solar battery storage systems is a testament to the growing awareness and adoption of clean energy solutions. As more homeowners consider the benefits of harnessing solar power, it is essential to weigh the pros and cons of integrating solar battery storage systems into their homes.

Annual battery storage installations will surpass 400GWh by 2030, representing a ten-fold increase in current yearly additions. This is according to the latest modeling from Rystad Energy that shows annual capacity additions will snowball in the coming years as storage becomes crucial to the world’s energy landscape. Global BESS capacity additions expanded 60% in
Example costs for a range of solar panel install sizes.
The global energy landscape is rapidly changing, with renewable energy sources like solar power playing an increasingly important role in meeting our energy needs.
