Maximising Your Solar Investment
Are you ready to take your solar power system to the next level? Solar panel battery storage is the key to unlocking the full potential of your renewable energy setup.
Solar panels generate the most electricity during sunny days.
With a battery storage system, you can store surplus energy generated during peak sunlight hours to use during the evenings or cloudy days, ensuring a constant power supply.
This provides energy independence, reducing your reliance on the grid and avoiding the inconvenience of power outages.
A battery storage system utilising lithium-ion batteries will enable you to utilise around 90% of the electricity generated by your solar panels.
The system is relatively easy to install and usually can be completed on the same day your solar panels are installed. Alternatively, in most cases, a battery storage system can be retrospectively fitted to your existing system.
Battery storage allows you to store unused energy, thus reducing your electricity costs even further, should you generate more energy than you use in your home or store in your battery, you can still export this energy back to the national grid. Remember, if batteries are added to an existing solar system you still get paid 50% of what you generate as an export tariff, regardless of whether you use it or store it.
During the winter months when generation is a lot lower, you can charge the batteries at night on a cheap rate tariff for use during the day and evening.
No – Even though you will be using more of your free generated electricity, your FiT payments from your electric supplier will remain the same.
If you’re lucky enough to have had solar panels installed on your home for a while and have been receiving the early Feed-in Tariff payments, solar batteries will vastly improve the usefulness of your panels.

The GoodWe ESA Series is an all-in-one residential energy storage system designed to provide flexible capacity, fast installation, and dependable backup power in modern solar homes. Combining the hybrid inverter, LiFePO₄ battery modules, backup switching, and enclosure into a single pre-wired unit, the ESA delivers a compact, low-maintenance solution with quiet operation, strong safety protection, and reliable performance in UK conditions.
Available in 5 kWh and 8 kWh modules.
True all-in-one design. The ESA Series integrates the hybrid inverter, LFP battery stack, backup switching and battery enclosure into a single pre-wired unit. This reduces installation time, minimises wiring and delivers a cleaner, more compact setup compared to traditional multi-box systems. Installation can be completed in as little as 10 minutes.
Flexible capacity and power options. Available in six inverter sizes from 3 kW to 10 kW, the ESA pairs with 5 kWh and 8 kWh battery modules that can be freely mixed within a single stack. Systems scale from 5 kWh up to 48 kWh, with up to six modules per stack and multiple stacks connectable in parallel, making it easy to start small and expand as your energy needs grow.
UPS-level backup without a gateway. In the event of a power cut, the ESA switches to backup mode in under 4 milliseconds, fast enough to keep lights, Wi-Fi routers and sensitive electronics running without interruption. Full house backup up to 63A is built in with no additional gateway required.
Safe, long-life LFP battery chemistry. The ESA uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) cells, which offer superior thermal stability and a longer cycle life compared to conventional lithium-ion alternatives. A six-layer safety system, including aerosol fire suppression and AI-driven AFCI 3.0 arc fault detection, provides comprehensive protection.
Silent, maintenance-free operation With fanless convection cooling and a noise level below 30 dB, the ESA is quieter than a whisper. There are no moving parts to wear out, making it virtually maintenance-free throughout its lifespan.
Built for UK conditions. Rated IP66 for full weather protection, the ESA can be installed indoors or outdoors. Optional integrated heating elements allow the system to operate reliably in temperatures as low as -18°C, ensuring consistent performance through British winters.
Smart monitoring via the SEMS app GoodWe’s Smart Energy Management System (SEMS) gives homeowners and installers real-time visibility of energy flows, battery status and system performance, all from a smartphone. Remote diagnostics and firmware updates keep the system running at its best.
Key Technical Highlights

Their cutting-edge products are designed, tested, and distributed from the UK, at the heart of the Cotswolds, ensuring they meet Duracell’s high-quality standards. Duracell Energy pride themselves on innovation, reliability, and personalised UK customer and technical support.
The partnership between Solar Select and Duracell Energy supplies products and services to our customers that significantly reduce energy costs and their carbon footprint.
The Duracell energy storage solar battery works seamlessly with solar panels, or as a standalone battery storage system. During the day, it stores excess energy generated by your solar panels for use at night or during cloudy periods. Alternatively, it can be used without solar to drawing low-cost electricity from the grid during off-peak hours and store it for later use during peak periods. You can also integrate other renewable sources like wind and hydro power to further enhance your home’s energy independence.
The Dura5 enables homeowners to reduce energy bills significantly by storing energy for use when the system isn’t producing any solar power. The Duracell Energy App uses a smart algorithm which has been developed by Duracell Energy in the UK. It considers weather forecasts and predicts when solar capability is at its lowest, it then uses this information to ensure your battery is fully charged ready for when you need it, cutting your energy costs by an average of 90% and reducing reliance upon the grid.
The Dura5 Solar Battery offers a sustainable, affordable home battery storage solution backed by Duracell’s trusted brand. Whether you’re pairing it with solar panels, using it independently, or integrating it with wind or hydro energy sources, the Dura5 provides you with the flexibility, reliability, and savings you need to achieve energy independence.
With the ability to charge and discharge in just one hour, the Dura5 provides market-leading charge and discharge speed allowing rapid access to stored energy during high-demand periods, making it a crucial part of your energy management system.
Longer lasting & flexible installation choices: Market leading life of 8000 cycles to maximise your investment. Install wall mounted or stacked to suit your needs.
Faster charging solution for all conditions: The Dura5 keeps your home powered with market leading charge & discharge times (twice as fast as leading solar battery brands). The Dura5 operates at temperatures of up to -10C (without internal heaters reducing battery lifecycle), meaning your house won’t get snapped by the cold.
