kWh is how much energy is stored. kW is how quickly it can be supplied. Only listed combinations are available.
Payment & calculation assumptions

September 2026 standard system prices. Payment choice does not change the price shown. Standard installation and delivery are included; VAT treatment and any extra work are confirmed in your written quote. Borrowing costs are excluded.

Fixed assumptions
90% of battery capacity is usable each day. All covered consumption is charged at your overnight rate, assuming a full recharge every night. Standing charge: 57.19p/day in every calculation, before and after the battery.

Standing charge source: Ofgem GB average, Direct Debit, July–September 2026, including VAT. Used as our national estimate; Northern Ireland is outside Ofgem’s price cap. Actual tariffs vary.

The battery percentage is annual bill savings divided by its price. The purchase cost still needs to be recovered. Savings and stocks retain an underlying balance, so the annual figures alone don’t tell the whole story.

What the figures assume

The bars use your selected system’s standard price and estimated electricity savings. They assume the system is paid for upfront and show bill savings, not a bank balance or the battery’s resale value.

Rates and yearly usage stay constant. Charging losses, tax, inflation, degradation, servicing, replacements and finance costs are excluded. The model assumes the battery operates at the same performance for the full selected period.

The savings-account and stock figures above illustrate the first year only. Stock returns can be negative and savings rates can change. All figures are estimates.

How we calculate and recommend

Your electricity use: we subtract the fixed standing charge from your monthly bill and divide the rest by your current blended rate. Or enter daily kWh directly. Monthly bills give an average day; use a higher-demand day if you want a more cautious size estimate.

Usable capacity: 90% of the labelled battery size is available each day. A 10 kWh battery supplies 9 kWh; 15 kWh supplies 13.5 kWh; 20 kWh supplies 18 kWh. The largest listed 40 kWh battery supplies 36 kWh.

Your recommendation: choose the lowest-priced listed battery/inverter combination whose usable capacity covers 100% of the daily usage entered. We never recommend a smaller battery just because it has a quicker payback. If daily use exceeds 36 kWh, a tailored quote is needed.

Before a battery: all consumption is priced at the entered blended rate (32p/kWh by default), plus the standing charge. With a correctly sized battery: all consumption is priced at the entered overnight rate (7p/kWh by default), plus the same standing charge. If you manually choose a smaller battery, its uncovered usage stays at the blended rate.

Annual saving: daily use covered by the battery × (blended rate − overnight rate) × 365, converting pence to pounds. Standing charges are unchanged and do not create a saving. All calculations use 57.19p/day: Ofgem’s July–September 2026 GB Direct Debit average, including VAT, held constant for the illustration. This is a GB benchmark, not a Northern Ireland tariff.

This simplified scenario assumes the battery fully recharges every night and can supply the demand entered. The 90% factor represents usable capacity, not round-trip efficiency. Charging losses, peak loads, seasonal changes and recharge-speed limits are not modelled. Inverter sizing and overnight charging must be confirmed at assessment, so full coverage here is not a guarantee about every day’s actual bill.

Standard September 2026 prices are used. EV and solar connection add to the price but no separate savings are modelled. Solar generation, export income, degradation, maintenance, replacement, inflation, tax changes and borrowing costs are excluded.
