Home Battery Storage, Batteries, Inverters and Complete Solar Storage Kits
Dragons Breath Solar supplies solar battery storage equipment for homeowners, self-builders and trade customers across the UK. Our range includes home battery storage systems, individual batteries, hybrid inverters, AC chargers, grid-connected storage solutions and complete battery backup kits.
Whether you are adding battery storage to an existing solar PV system, planning a new solar installation or looking for replacement battery components, we offer a range of equipment for different applications and budgets.
Browse our solar battery storage products below and compare the available equipment, specifications and prices. Before ordering, check that the selected battery, inverter and associated components are suitable for your intended system.
Choosing the Right Solar Battery Storage Equipment
Choosing the right solar home battery storage system depends on your electricity consumption, existing solar PV equipment and how you intend to use stored energy. Some customers need a complete battery storage kit, while others are looking for an individual battery, hybrid inverter, AC charger or replacement component.
Our range includes equipment for suitable grid-connected, self-consumption, off-grid and battery backup applications. Product specifications vary, so always check the individual listing to confirm what is supplied and whether additional components are required.
Complete Solar Battery Storage Kits
Complete solar battery storage kits can provide a convenient way to source compatible equipment for a particular application. Depending on the product, a kit may include a battery, inverter, charger or other associated components.
Check the product description carefully before ordering. Confirm the battery capacity, inverter specifications, included accessories and any additional equipment required to complete the intended system.
Individual Solar Batteries
Individual solar batteries are available for selected new systems, replacement requirements and compatible storage upgrades. The right battery depends on the intended application and the equipment already installed.
Before purchasing, check the battery chemistry, nominal voltage, usable capacity, communication requirements and compatibility with your inverter. Do not assume that batteries with similar capacities or specifications can be used interchangeably.
Hybrid Solar Inverters and AC Battery Chargers
Hybrid inverters and AC battery chargers are used in different types of solar battery storage arrangements. The appropriate option depends on the existing solar PV system, the battery being considered and how electricity is intended to flow between the panels, battery, property and grid.
Review the manufacturer’s specifications and the individual product information to establish whether the equipment is suitable for your application.
Grid-Connected and Self-Consumption Battery Storage
Solar battery storage can allow surplus electricity generated during the day to be stored for later use, rather than exporting all of that surplus electricity to the grid.
The potential benefit depends on several factors, including the amount of electricity generated by your solar panels, household electricity consumption, the timing of that consumption, battery capacity and system configuration.
When comparing grid-connected battery storage products, consider your existing inverter, the intended charging arrangements and whether the proposed equipment is compatible with your current installation.
Off-Grid Solar Battery Storage and Backup Power
Off-grid solar systems have different requirements from conventional grid-connected installations. They need suitable equipment to provide power for the intended electrical loads and to manage energy generation and storage.
Battery backup systems also vary in their capabilities. Backup operation during a power cut is not guaranteed simply because a system includes a battery. It depends on the inverter’s backup functionality, battery compatibility, system design and the necessary electrical connections.
Check the product specifications carefully if off-grid operation or power-cut backup is an important requirement.
Solar Battery Spare Parts and Accessories
We supply selected battery storage spare parts, inverters and related components for a range of solar applications.
When replacing or adding a component, check the model number, electrical ratings, connections and manufacturer’s compatibility requirements. A component that looks similar to the original may not be suitable for your particular system.
What Size Solar Battery Do You Need
The appropriate solar battery capacity depends on how much electricity you use, when you use it, how much surplus solar electricity is available and how much stored energy you want to use later.
A larger battery is not automatically the best choice. The aim is to select equipment that suits your energy requirements, existing system and budget.
When comparing solar batteries and storage kits, consider:
Battery capacity: The rated capacity, normally expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh), and the usable capacity specified by the manufacturer.
Inverter compatibility: Whether your existing or proposed inverter supports the battery.
System type: Whether you need grid-connected storage, an off-grid system or a suitable backup arrangement.
What is included: Whether the product is a complete kit or an individual component.
Additional equipment: Whether cables, protection equipment, controls or other components are required.
Backup requirements: Whether the equipment supports the backup operation you need.
Future requirements: Whether the system can accommodate any planned expansion, subject to manufacturer specifications.
Comparing these factors before ordering can help you avoid purchasing equipment that is unsuitable for your intended application.
Adding Battery Storage to an Existing Solar PV System
Some existing solar PV systems can be upgraded with battery storage, but the suitable solution depends on the equipment already installed.
Before selecting a battery, establish the make and model of your inverter, the configuration of your solar PV system and the type of battery storage you intend to add.
AC-coupled and hybrid inverter arrangements serve different applications. Battery voltage, communication protocols, inverter compatibility and the required electrical configuration must all be considered.
Do not assume that a battery will work with an existing inverter simply because both products are designed for solar storage. Check the manufacturer’s compatibility information and obtain appropriate technical advice where necessary.
Grid-Connected Storage, Off-Grid Systems and Battery Backup: What Is the Difference
Although these applications can all involve batteries, they are not interchangeable.
Grid-connected battery storage is designed to work with a suitable grid-connected solar PV arrangement and the property’s electricity supply.
Off-grid solar storage is intended for systems that operate independently of the electricity grid and must be designed around the required electrical loads and available energy generation.
Battery backup systems are intended to provide power to specified loads when the normal supply is unavailable, where the equipment and installation support this function.
Before choosing a product, establish which application you need and check that the battery, inverter and other components are designed to work together.
Why Buy Solar Storage Equipment from Dragons Breath Solar
Dragons Breath Solar is a UK-based solar equipment supplier with more than 20 years of experience in the solar sector. We supply solar products and technical information to help customers identify equipment appropriate to their requirements.
Our range includes solar batteries, battery storage kits, hybrid inverters, AC chargers, off-grid equipment and selected spare parts and accessories.
