IKEA helps Homeowners to cut electricity bills by up to 70 percent with new Solar Battery Storage

• New Solar Panel and Battery Storage solutions helps customers benefit by up to £560* a year
• Battery Storage is set to revolutionise the UK energy market following Government plans to invest £246m in battery technology, saving consumers £40bn by 2050
• Prices for Solar Battery Storage from IKEA and Solarcentury start from as little as £3000

Designed to work alongside existing Solar Panels or as part of a brand new combined home Solar Panel and Battery Storage system, the new offering will make it much easier for homeowners to save on their electricity bills by enabling them to use more of the electricity that is generated by their solar panels.

By adding Solar Battery Storage, unused solar electricity can be stored and used at a later time, meaning the amount of solar electricity an average home can use doubles to 80%. The result: homeowners see their savings doubled and their electricity bills cut by up to 70%. With the average household electricity bill coming in at £584**, homeowners who install solar panels could benefit by £380 in the first year after purchase if only using 40% of the solar consumed electricity or £560 if using 80% of the solar consumed electricity with the help of Solar Battery Storage.

Hege Saebjornsen, Country Sustainability Manager, IKEA UK & Ireland said:
“At IKEA we’re always looking for ways to help customers take positive actions at home for both the environment and their wallets.  We know that our customers want to live more sustainably and together with Solarcentury we will help them to get more value from their solar panels and do just that. With energy bills already going up 15% this year****, there’s never been a better time for customers to take back control of their electricity bills and maximise their savings by switching to solar and solar storage.”

The IKEA Solar Battery Storage starts from just £3000 (5% VAT included), whilst prices for homeowners who already have solar and want to add a battery start from just under £5000 (20% VAT included). This includes a 15% discount available to IKEA Family members.
