sustainable options for you
Battery technology is increasingly making solar energy storage more economically viable and is an effective insurance policy against future energy cost increases.
The key motivations for installing a battery system include:
- Independence from energy companies
- Blackout protection
- Time shifting
- Environmental reasons
In addition batteries provide a dynamic way of responding to pricing signals from your electricity retailer ie. low solar feed in tariffs, high evening peak pricing, and free electricity from the grid during the middle of the day. A well configured battery system can respond to all of these sginals to optimise your energy costs.
The power of batteries
Grid managers have the opportunity to control the stability of the grid. The residual capacity of your battery module can be linked to hundreds of other grid connected batteries via a system called a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This cumulative surplus capacity allows the grid managers to help stabilise the grid during network voltage events and you will accrue grid credits for participating in this service. So your battery can directly save you money by storing your excess solar, and can also accumulate credits when it’s used in a VPP!

EnviroShop Newstead supply and install a range of high performance battery technologies including SigEnergy, Tesla, Fronius and Enphase.
SigEnergy
Tesla
SigenStor is an AI-optimized 5-in-one energy storage system (ESS) that brings your solar dream to reality, helping you achieve energy independence with maximum efficiency, savings, flexibility and resilience.
One of the most well-known brands of home battery currently available, the Tesla Powerwall 3 has taken the whole world by storm. The first Powerwall was one of the most anticipated products ever released.
The Tesla Powerwall 3 has a seriously large battery pack of 13.5 kWh which is enough for most homes. The Powerwall 3 also has a built-in battery inverter which means you don’t need to buy that extra bit of hardware. It is compatible with ANY solar power system making it an ideal addition to your existing solar system.
The Powerwall 3 delivers up to 10 kW for both on-grid and backup power making it capable to meet most peak demands.
The Powerwall 3 is monitored and customized via the Tesla app, featuring modes for outage protection, bill savings, and Storm Watch auto-charging. The same app can be used to integrate with your Tesla EV and wall charger.
Fronius
Be independent and use your solar energy around the clock. The Fronius Reserva is a high-voltage battery with DC coupling that ensures particularly effective and efficient energy transfer.
With capacities from 6.3 to 15.8 kWh with two to five modules, it adapts flexibly to your needs. Perfectly matched to Fronius hybrid inverters, it integrates seamlessly into your photovoltaic system. Your data remains secure because it is stored exclusively on European servers. The proven Fronius Service & Support is always on hand to provide fast and reliable assistance for your entire system.
Experience freedom, security and efficiency in a perfectly designed complete system.
Enphase
Enphase Energy who are world leaders in microinverter technology also offer their own AC Battery system. The new Enphase battery comes in 5kWh and 10kWh modules.
These compact battery systems are designed to be modular so they can be easily expanded. The system size can be tailored to the needs of your home, now and into the future. Providing 100% depth of discharge, you can always be sure of the amount of power being stored for use.
The lithium iron phosphate (LiFePo4) battery comes with a built-in battery inverter and uses the Enphase Envoy S for energy management and monitoring. The Envoy S measures your home’s energy usage, solar generation and directs excess solar energy into the battery for use at night.
The Enphase AC Battery pairs perfectly with both new and existing solar systems using micro inverters.
