Don’t let your valuable solar energy go to waste. Store the excess power generated during the day and use it whenever you need it – day or night, rain or shine.
Take control of your energy usage, reduce your reliance on the grid, and enjoy peace of mind with a home battery solution from HuMa Renewables.
You’ve made a smart investment in solar PV panels to generate clean, free electricity. But what happens when the sun goes down, or on cloudy days? Without storage, excess energy is often sent back to the grid for minimal return, and you’re forced to buy expensive electricity later. A solar battery changes the game. It acts like your personal energy reservoir, storing your surplus solar power for when you need it most.
What is a Solar Battery? A solar battery, also known as a home energy storage system, is a device that connects to your solar panel system. Its primary function is to capture and store excess electricity generated by your panels that isn’t immediately used by your home. Think of it as an energy savings account – you deposit free solar energy during the day and withdraw it later, significantly reducing the amount of electricity you need to purchase from your supplier.
As sunlight (even on cloudy days!) strikes the solar panels installed on your roof, the photovoltaic cells absorb the solar energy.
This absorbed energy excites electrons within the cells, creating a flow of Direct Current (DC) electricity.
The generated DC electricity travels to an inverter, a crucial component that safely converts it into Alternating Current (AC) electricity – the standard type used to power your home appliances.
This clean AC electricity flows directly into your home's electrical system, powering lights, appliances, heating systems (like heat pumps!), and electronics just like grid electricity, but for free!
Any electricity you generate but don't use immediately can either be stored in a solar battery for later use ( maximising your savings!) or exported back to the national grid, potentially earning you money through schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
Take the next step towards energy independence and lower bills.

This depends heavily on your average daily electricity consumption (especially overnight), the size of your solar panel system, and whether you want backup power. Our team performs detailed calculations during your free survey to recommend the optimal capacity.
Most leading solar batteries come with a 10-year warranty, often guaranteeing a certain level of capacity retention after that period or a specific number of charge cycles. With proper usage, many can last significantly longer
It depends on the battery’s power rating, capacity, and how the system is configured. Some systems provide whole-home backup, while others are designed to power only essential circuits (like lights, fridge, internet router). We’ll discuss backup options during your consultation.
Yes. We only install batteries from reputable manufacturers that meet stringent UK and international safety standards (e.g., MCS certification where applicable). Installations are always performed by qualified electricians following strict safety protocols.
