Here at Green Flare, we’re proud to provide homes and commercial properties in Bristol with seamlessly integrated domestic battery storage systems.
Tailored for those looking to make the most of their solar panels, our battery storage systems ensure that the energy you generate serves you first, reducing reliance on the grid and enhancing energy independence. By storing excess power for use during peak times and allowing charging in off-peak periods when electricity costs less, homeowners can simultaneously save on energy bills and reduce their environmental impact.
Get in touch with a member of our experienced team to discuss your requirements and take your first steps to a greener, self-sufficient future.
Types of Home Battery Storage Systems
With state-of-the-art renewable technology at our fingertips, our skilled engineers are able to install both hybrid and AC battery systems, maximising energy efficiency and ensuring customers are able to make the most of the energy they produce.
Our hybrid systems integrate solar panels and storage with a single inverter, simplifying installation and optimising energy use directly from solar power. This not only saves space but ensures a seamless transition of energy from your panels to your battery, enhancing overall efficiency and reducing complexity.
AC coupled Systems, on the other hand, are versatile, allowing energy capture from all home sources, not limited to solar. By capturing energy from various sources in your home, AC battery storage offers the flexibility to charge the battery during off-peak hours. This is especially beneficial for homes looking to lower electricity costs without the initial investment in solar panels.
Gareth Nettleton
"I cannot speak highly enough of the service received from Green Flare for the installation of solar panels on our roof. Aaron and Alex (the install team) were fantastic. The work quality looks great, they were polite and accommodating while on site, and completed the project in double quick time. Would thoroughly recommend Green Flare for their professionalism and service."
David Lowe
"Selecting a solar panel installer is a bit of a minefield - I met several before spotting a Green Flare van in our village an asking for a quote - I had very specific ideas about the sighting and visual impact of my installation and the Green Flare team worked hard to accommodate my requirements - The installation team were helpful and efficient and I am delighted with the finished product."
Martin Mullen
"Having been let down by the company who installed my solar panels, Green Flare stepped in and provided an excellent service. They even dealt with the damage caused by the scaffolders. Their staff were first class, professional and polite. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company."
Helen Newton
"Fantastic experience. We had PV and two batteries installed, as well as an EV charger and Myenergi Eddi (for heating water tank). We've not had it long so can't review the items but our experience with the entire Green Flare team from start to finish was great. From the initial quote, to the follow up information, right through to the installation team - all were professional and polite and did a great job."
James Young
"Very happy with the solar panel system and would highly recommend Green Flare to anyone looking for a PV install. Installers were friendly and professional. So far the system is out performing the original estimates so could not be happier."
What Our Customers Say
How Solar Battery Storage Works
Connect
Batteries are connected to your electricity supply and solar panels by our expert installers.
Store
Surplus energy is diverted back to your battery system, rather than the grid.
Monitor
A control system constantly monitors your electricity supply to see if any energy is being sent back to the grid.
Power
Stored energy can be used at any time, providing cost effective, self-sufficient power for your home.
Benefits of Domestic Solar Battery Storage
With solar battery storage, homeowners are granted the best of both worlds: eco-friendliness and financial savings in a seamlessly integrated system. Domestic solar panel battery storage not only lowers carbon emissions, but it also reduces electricity costs by making the most of your renewable systems and unused power. What’s more, it enhances your home's energy efficiency, ensuring you're powered up smartly and sustainably.
Energy security
Bid farewell to high electricity bills and ensure self-sufficiency with solar battery storage. Our systems reduce reliance on the grid and enhance your home's energy autonomy.
Modern and compact design
With easy installation and a minimalist design, Green Flare's battery systems blend seamlessly into your home, combining sleek, modern aesthetics with space-saving efficiency.
Monitor your consumption
Multiple smart batteries facilitate precise tracking of energy use via smartphone or tablet, allowing for informed consumption and increased savings.

Home Solar Battery Storage Costs
Starting at £2,500, with a 0% VAT rate effective from 1st February , our solar battery storage systems are designed for flexibility, facilitating future expansion via the addition of more batteries as needed.
A financially intelligent investment, not only do these systems provide energy cost savings by optimising solar use and leveraging off-peak rates, but they also reduce grid dependency and minimise energy losses during export and import. This modular approach ensures both immediate and long-term benefits, making it a worthwhile choice for eco-conscious households.
Of course, no two projects are alike, and there are a multitude of factors that affect cost. For an accurate estimate, reach out to a member of our team; we’re always happy to chat.
Solar & Battery FAQs
How does solar battery storage integrate with existing solar panel systems?
Using a single inverter, our solar battery storage can easily integrate with your existing solar panel systems. This integration allows for the efficient storage of excess energy generated during the day, which can then be used as needed, ensuring you make the most of your solar investment and enhance your energy self-sufficiency.
What are the key differences between types of battery storage systems?
The difference between Hybrid and AC battery storage systems lie in their integration and flexibility. Hybrid systems combine solar and battery storage with one inverter, offering a streamlined, efficient setup for those with solar panels. AC coupled systems capture energy from multiple sources and are ideal for homes without solar panels, allowing for off-peak charging.
Can solar battery storage systems power a home during a blackout?
Yep, some of our solar battery storage systems are designed to provide power during blackouts, offering energy security and independence. These systems can automatically switch to battery supply in the event of a grid outage, ensuring that essential appliances and lights remain operational.
How much solar battery storage do I need?
The amount of solar battery storage you need depends on your energy consumption patterns, the size of your solar panel system, and your energy goals, such as full independence from the grid or backup for essential appliances. A detailed assessment of your daily energy usage and peak energy demand times can help determine the best battery capacity for your home, ensuring you have sufficient power during the night or in case of a blackout.
Do Solar Batteries Store AC Or DC?
Solar batteries store electricity as direct current (DC) energy. This stored DC energy is converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter when needed to power household appliances and devices, as most home electrical systems and devices operate on AC power.
