Under the spotlight: Tesla Powerwall 2 Solar Battery

Solar energy is becoming more of a necessity with energy prices from the grid continuing to rise. A solar battery will allow you to store free energy you generate during the day from your solar panels, so that you can use it when the sun isn’t out. This is a perfect way of not only lowering your electricity bills, but also maximising the return you get from your solar investments. That’s why choosing the right storage is tremendously important. There are multiple brands, sizes, and models to choose from, but luckily for you we have handpicked the best battery brands in an effort to help make that decision easier.
