Battery Storage. Take Control of Your Energy.

At Plumbwise, battery storage is about turning renewable energy into real, everyday savings. Generating power is only half the equation, storing it is where the value multiplies. Without a battery, excess solar energy is often exported back to the grid for minimal return. With the right storage system, you keep that energy and use it when you actually need it.

Designed and specified correctly, battery storage gives you greater control, resilience, and efficiency. It allows you to run your home on your own low-cost power during evenings and peak-rate periods, reducing reliance on the grid and protecting you from rising tariffs. Our design-led approach ensures the battery capacity, inverter setup, and usage strategy are aligned with your lifestyle, so performance and savings are maximised from day one.

The result is simple: smarter energy use, lower bills, and greater independence.

Store excess solar energy for use day and night
Reduce peak-time electricity costs and grid reliance
Increase overall system efficiency and self-consumption
Backup power during outages for added resilience
Faster return on investment from your solar PV system
