Solar Battery Storage
Matthew Jepp
The Titan Eco team installed Solar PV, the new Powerwall 3 Battery system with the Backup Gateway, and a car charger. All of the team from the roof installers, the electricians to the back office team were great, and I would not hesitate to use them again.
Clear Control Over Your Energy With Solar battery Storage
Battery storage puts you in control of your energy use, enabling you to store electricity when it’s cheapest and use it when you need it most. This could be solar energy generated during the day or lower-cost electricity from the grid during off-peak periods.
Today’s battery systems can automatically respond to solar generation, energy demand, tariff windows and battery levels, for optimal performance with minimal intervention. This makes battery storage one of the most effective ways to reduce reliance on the grid and lower energy costs, particularly during winter when solar generation is lower.
Titan Eco has broad experience installing battery systems for domestic properties, new build developments and commercial sites. We understand the varying energy profiles across these sectors, enabling us to tailor each system to match real-world usage and deliver long-term value.
Minimise reliance on peak-rate electricity
Many energy suppliers offer cheaper off-peak electricity rates, but these are typically during periods of lower energy use. Battery storage allows energy to be stored during these off-peak periods and used when prices are higher, helping reduce electricity costs without changing how energy is used.
Store solar energy for later use
A battery storage system can be used to store excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day for use at night, or when daylight is limited. This maximises self-consumption, minimises reliance on the grid and reduces your carbon footprint.
EV charging at cheaper off-peak rates
Battery storage can support electric vehicle charging using stored energy, reducing the need to draw additional power from the grid during peak periods. This helps minimise the impact of EV charging on overall energy costs.
Optional back-up power during outages
Battery storage can provide back-up power during a power cut, helping maintain essential loads and reduce disruption. This is particularly valuable for homes, businesses and new-build developments where continuity of power is important. Even sites without solar panels can use battery storage to provide back-up power and improve resilience during outages. To find out more about the benefits of solar battery storage, contact us today.
How do solar batteries work?
Solar batteries sit between your energy supply (either solar or grid power) and the circuits and appliances that use electricity at your property. They store energy as DC (Direct Current) electricity, while your property runs on AC (Alternating Current). An inverter manages the conversion between the two when charging and discharging.

BACK-UP POWER
Many battery systems include an option to provide back-up power in the event of a power cut. This ensures you keep essential circuits running, providing added reassurance and continuity.
Back-up capability depends on the battery and system design. Some systems can support whole-home back-up, while others are designed to power selected critical circuits only.
When you make the decision to install a solar battery with Titan Eco, our team will help find the right option for you. Whether you need full back-up power to protect your business, or simply want to ensure that your home has a dependable electricity supply during outages, we can help.
Smart energy management
Many of today’s battery systems use intelligent control software to manage energy automatically throughout the day. Rather than simply charging and discharging on a fixed schedule, these batteries can make real-time decisions about whether it’s better to store solar generation for later, power your home, top up with cheaper off-peak grid electricity, or export energy back to the grid for a profit.
How effective this optimisation is depends in part on your electricity tariff. Many tariffs offer significantly lower rates overnight, and a well-designed battery system will take advantage of these off-peak windows, automatically reducing your reliance on peak-rate electricity.

Existing feed-in tariff?
No problem.
If you have an older solar PV system and still receive feed-in tariff (FIT) payments, we can install an AC-coupled battery while keeping your current solar system and tariff structure in place.
FIT customers are paid based on “deemed export”, typically calculated as 50% of the electricity the solar system generates – regardless of how much electricity is actually being exported. This means you can store surplus solar energy for later use, while still receiving FIT export payments under the deemed export calculation.

AC vs DC batteries – what’s the difference?
Battery storage systems can be installed in two main ways: AC-coupled or DC-coupled. The right option depends on whether you already have solar, how your system is configured, and what you want the battery to achieve.
AC-coupled battery systems
AC-coupled batteries are typically used when adding storage to an existing solar PV system. They connect into your home’s electricity supply alongside your current solar setup, allowing a battery to be added without replacing the existing inverter.
DC-coupled battery systems
DC-coupled batteries are typically installed as part of a new solar + battery system, where the battery is integrated directly with the hybrid inverter. This can be a streamlined and efficient approach when designing a system from scratch.

At Titan Eco, we’ll advise on the most appropriate configuration based on your current setup, goals and long-term requirements, ensuring the system performs reliably in practice. Contact us to find the right battery storage system to suit your unique needs.
System design tailored to your needs
RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL
At Titan Eco, we can specify battery systems for both homes and businesses, reflecting the different usage patterns, peak demand and priorities for each. The right setup for a household is often different to that of a commercial site – and we take that into account from the start.
ENERGY USAGE & DEMAND
Battery systems are not one-size-fits-all products. The right solution depends on how and when electricity is used, your daily energy demand, and when your usage peaks. We look at real-world usage patterns to recommend storage that performs effectively day to day.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
Whether you already have solar or you’re starting from scratch, battery storage needs to integrate properly with your property and solar system. This includes AC vs DC system design, and whether your electrical supply is single-phase or three-phase, both of which can affect system options and performance.
FUTURE SCALABILITY
Battery systems are scalable, which means you can start with a system sized to meet your current needs and add additional storage later if usage changes. Some platforms scale in smaller increments than others, and we’ll advise on the most practical route based on the options that are likely to best fit your circumstances.
PRODUCT OPTIONS
Titan Eco works with proven battery platforms including Tesla, SolarEdge and SigEnergy. Rather than promoting one product, we recommend the most suitable option based on your needs, priorities and longer-term requirements. This system-led approach helps ensure reliable performance and flexibility as requirements change.
Each installation is supported by manufacturer warranties and our own workmanship guarantees, giving confidence that systems will perform as intended and remain supported over time.
