Battery Storage
Store the energy you generate, cut your bills, and reduce your reliance on the grid — with a professionally installed battery storage system from Centra.
You don't need solar panels to benefit from battery storage.
A standalone battery system can be charged on cheap overnight tariffs — such as Economy 7 or Octopus Go — and that stored energy used throughout the day, significantly reducing what you pay for grid electricity.
Make the Most of Your Energy
Store Solar Energy
Capture excess solar generation during the day and use it in the evening — maximising the value of your solar panels.
Reduce Energy Bills
Draw from stored energy during peak tariff periods instead of buying expensive grid electricity.
Grid Independence
Reduce reliance on the grid and protect yourself against rising energy prices.
Backup Power
Keep essential appliances running during power cuts with seamless battery backup.
Smart Charging
Charge your battery on cheap overnight tariffs and use stored energy during expensive peak periods.

Common Questions
Do I need solar panels to have a battery storage system?
No — battery storage can work without solar panels. You can charge the battery from the grid on cheap overnight tariffs and use the stored energy during expensive peak periods. However, combining battery storage with solar panels gives you the greatest savings.
How long does a battery last?
Most modern battery systems are designed to last 10–15 years and come with manufacturer warranties. Performance degrades slightly over time, which is normal and accounted for in system design.
What size battery do I need?
The right battery size depends on your energy consumption, whether you have solar panels, and how you want to use the system. We assess this during your initial consultation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Can battery storage provide backup power during a power cut?
Yes — many battery systems include a backup power function that automatically switches on during a power cut, keeping essential appliances running. We'll discuss backup options during your consultation.
Is finance available?
Finance options are available on battery storage installations. Ask our team for details during your consultation.
