ABOUT
Fusion specialise in managing the supply and installation of electrical and energy changes for business and domestic customers throughout the UK.
Solar battery storage is becoming an increasingly popular addition to solar PV systems, helping homeowners and businesses make better use of the energy they generate. Rather than exporting unused electricity back to the grid, battery storage allows you to store excess solar energy and use it later when demand is higher. For many properties, this means greater energy independence, improved efficiency and lower electricity bills.
Fusion 360 Group installs solar battery storage systems designed to work seamlessly with both new and existing solar installations.
No matter your home solar project, we’ll offer honest advice, practical solutions, and a highly competitive quote.
What Is Solar Battery Storage?
A solar battery storage system captures surplus electricity produced by your solar panels during the day and stores it for later use. This stored energy can then be used in the evening, overnight or during periods of low solar generation.
Without battery storage, excess solar energy is typically exported to the grid. While this can provide some financial return, storing and using your own energy often delivers greater long-term value.
How Battery Storage Improves Efficiency
Solar panels generate the most energy during daylight hours, which does not always align with peak usage times. Battery storage bridges this gap by allowing you to use solar energy when you need it most.
By increasing self-consumption, battery storage reduces reliance on the grid and helps protect against rising electricity prices. This is particularly valuable for households and businesses looking to control energy costs more effectively.

Christine’s Solar PV Installation
Fusion Electrics were contacted to help this client achieve their money-saving and sustainability goals. This project involved designing and installing a 9.3kW PV system of 22 x 425W Perlight Delta Solar Panels, battery storage and EV charger. The Challenge: The primary challenge with this project was the layout of the client's property. The roof comprises multiple sections across the ‘T’ shaped home. As a result, the Fusion team had to carefully consider the optimal places to install the solar panels to ensure maximum exposure to the sun and, in turn, maximum electricity generation. Additionally, the customer’s capacity requirements needed to be considered to ensure that the volume of energy produced matched what was needed. How We Helped: Fusion Electrics carried out one...

Benefits of Solar Battery Storage
Solar battery storage offers a range of practical advantages, including:
- Increased use of self-generated energy
- Reduced dependence on grid electricity
- Lower energy bills over time
- Improved resilience during power interruptions
- Better control over when and how energy is used
For businesses, battery storage can also support load management and help balance energy demand across operating hours.
Battery Storage for Homes
Domestic solar battery storage allows homeowners to power appliances, lighting and heating using stored solar energy once the sun goes down. This makes solar systems far more effective, particularly in homes where energy use is higher in the evenings.
Battery systems operate quietly, require minimal maintenance and can be installed alongside existing solar PV systems, making them a practical upgrade for many properties.
Battery Storage for Businesses
Commercial battery storage helps businesses manage energy usage more strategically. By storing solar energy generated during the day, businesses can reduce peak-time grid consumption and smooth demand across the working day.
This can lead to lower energy costs, improved efficiency and greater control over long-term energy planning.
Is Solar Battery Storage Worth It?
For many properties, battery storage significantly improves the return on investment of a solar PV system. While there is an upfront cost, the ability to store and use more of your own energy often leads to greater long-term savings and energy security.
Battery storage is particularly valuable where energy prices are high or where solar generation exceeds daytime usage.
Future-Proof Your Solar System
Adding battery storage is one of the most effective ways to maximise the performance of your solar PV system. With a well-designed battery solution, you can take greater control of your energy use and protect against rising electricity costs.
Fusion 360 Group can help you understand whether solar battery storage is right for your home or business and deliver a solution built to perform year after year.
