Solar and Battery Systems


Discover how you can take control of your energy with solar and battery systems through Octopus Energy’s network of installers. We connect you with experienced professionals who design and install systems tailored to your home and combine them with our innovative energy plans to maximise the return on your investment.

Why choose a Solar and Battery system?


Switching to a solar and battery system offers a range of benefits that make sense for your home and the planet. By generating your own electricity, you can significantly lower or even eliminate power bills and gain additional savings by selling excess energy back to us. A battery system further enhances these benefits by allowing you to store energy for use when power is most expensive and providing reliable backup power during outages, ensuring peace of mind. Best of all, using renewable energy helps reduce your carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable future.
