What this video covers

This is one of KMM's top-of-funnel short-form videos — a 60-second introduction to a topic worth understanding before you book a survey.

Steve from KMM Energy breaks down one of the best parts of going solar—the app that gives you full control over your energy usage. With this app, you can: 📊 See what your home is using in real time 🔋 Check how much…

Solar battery storage economics

• Typical domestic battery cost: £640–£900 per usable kWh fitted in 2026 (LFP chemistry)
• Recommended 4-bed family home size: 9.5–13.5 kWh usable
• Self-consumption uplift: from ~38% to ~75% on typical 4kWp domestic install
• Time-of-use tariff arbitrage: charge at 7–7.5p overnight, discharge during 28p peak — typical 6–8 year payback on battery-only installs
• Warranty: tier-1 brands warrant 10 years and 80% capacity retention; cycle life typically 6,000+ cycles

How this applies to your project

If you're researching solar for your own home, farm, factory or commercial building, the principles in this video apply directly — but the specific numbers will vary based on your roof orientation, your import tariff, your half-hourly load profile and your tax position.
