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.

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
