One great side-benefit of home battery storage is having an emergency power supply.
We asked what was important to you when the lights go out in a power cut. Thanks for the enthusiastic response. We thought you would be interested in the results, so here they are:
Do you ever get power cuts?
Interestingly, 84% of our respondents do suffer power cuts, with the following distribution
How Long do they Last?
What do you most need to keep running during a power cut?
During a power cut what is most important to keep running? I don’t think there are many surprises here although I daresay the phone would gain importance during a long cut
- Most Important: Fridge/freezer, gas heating, lighting
- Middling: Internet router, garage door opener, gas cooker
- Least important: TV, phone charger
What would be your reason for choosing battery storage?
The final question was to rank the priorities for using battery storage. This gave a surprisingly even split among the top priorities, with roughly 30% each for Saving Money, Emergency Power Supply and Storing Surplus Solar Energy. The remaining 10% was people whose primary priority was to reduce carbon footprint.
Do you still have more to say?
I hope you found the answers interesting. I know I did. If you would still like to add to the results, we have left the survey open here.
