Home Battery Storage

A home battery stores cheap off-peak or solar electricity to use at peak times. We compare the best UK systems on usable capacity, power, backup and cost — whether you have solar or not.

No solar? A battery can still pay. On a time-of-use tariff (e.g. Intelligent Octopus Go ~7p overnight) a battery charges cheap and powers your home at peak — saving roughly £150–£300 a year. Standalone batteries are also 0% VAT through 2027. How it works →
