Solar Power and Battery Storage – Join Our Energy Revolution
For years, solar power only worked when the sun was shining and energy not used immediately or sold to the grid. When the sun stopped shining you stopped saving. Green Squirrel Energy now offer systems to bank solar or low cost off peak energy to use when you need it. The system we offer is designed and installed to meet your specific needs. We bring together right combination so you can make, save and sell your own power with our recommended energy company Octopus energy.
Benefits of home batteries
- Reduced energy Bills
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Cheap energy day and night
- Flexibility to buy energy when it is cheapest
- Visibility of your energy use

Home battery with solar – Use, Save and Sell
Battery storage helps make the most of the electricity you generate. The battery will store up the energy to use it later.
Mrs Little generated 826.7kw in May 2024 using her solar panels and this was used to directly power the heat pump, charge the home battery charge the car and run the home. Excess energy above the need of the property is automatically sold to the grid generating income. As of 1st April 2024 the standard variable tariff is capped at 25.5p. For the month of May the 826.7kw of power generated would have cost £210.80 instead of being free. Any additional energy required for the home for the car and/or battery would cost £0.09 per kw based on charging the battery of car with Octopus Energy.
Your home battery will use smart tariffs to charge when energy is cheapest and greenest. You can also generate income when you are away selling your energy you have produced but don’t need.
The battery will discharge when energy costs are high, running your home on low cost, low carbon battery power.
Home battery storage without solar
Battery storage helps make the most of the electricity you generate. The battery will store up your energy to use it later. Home battery without solar saves customers up to £1500 per year.

Mrs Little “We charge our battery with 20kw of energy for a cost of £1.80 through Octopus energy. This energy is used to power our air source heat pump. This can save us up to £7 per day”. The potential savings of over £2000 are possible for Mrs Little depending on her exact energy use just by using an energy storage battery. For a free no obligation quote please book a free survey.

Home Batteries and Solar for Home energy
A home is much cheaper to run with solar of power stored in a battery of the correct size.
Home Batteries and Solar for Heat Pumps
A heat pump is much cheaper to run and costs with solar of power stored in a battery of the correct size
Improved EPC
Reduce your environmental Impact
Switching to renewable energy is a positive impact to the environment. Mrs Little has moved to being gas zero, and massively reduced her carbon impact on the environment at the same time as removing a 1970’s , inefficient cylinder, removing very old radiators and replacing them with modern new radiators. As the boiler had already become unreliable and obsolete the overall improvement was massive.
Climate Change
Director of Green Squirrel Energy Alan Little states “sitting back and waiting for climate disaster is not a option for me. Join us on our Green Road to a better future.
Using specialist energy tariffs
Energy companies such at Octopus energy offer specialist tariffs that significantly discount the electricity used to power a heat pump – with one of these in place the calculations quickly swing in the favour of those with battery storage to power the home.
