The right battery is not simply the largest one: its capacity should match your solar production, consumption profile and future plans.<\/p>\n<h2>Which capacity suits your home?<\/h2>\n<p>We assess annual electricity consumption, daytime and evening use, solar-panel output, injection, dynamic tariffs and future consumption from an EV or heat pump. This prevents oversizing and unnecessary investment.<\/p>\n<h2>Indicative all-in prices<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5 kWh:<\/strong> approximately \u20ac3,500<\/li>\n<li><strong>10 kWh:<\/strong> approximately \u20ac6,000\u2013\u20ac6,500<\/li>\n<li><strong>15 kWh:<\/strong> approximately \u20ac8,500\u2013\u20ac9,500<\/li>\n<li><strong>20 kWh:<\/strong> approximately \u20ac11,000\u2013\u20ac12,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are indicative installed prices. The final investment depends on the battery technology, inverter compatibility, backup functionality, electrical modifications and installation conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>How much can a battery save?<\/h2>\n<p>Savings come from increasing self-consumption, reducing grid purchases and, where relevant, shifting consumption to favourable tariff periods. The return therefore depends on your actual energy profile. We provide a transparent scenario rather than a guaranteed payback period.<\/p>\n<h2>Battery, solar panels and energy management<\/h2>\n<p>A smart energy-management system can coordinate the battery, solar panels, EV charger and heat pump. This helps use locally generated electricity at the most valuable time.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Is a 10 kWh battery suitable for every household?<\/h3>\n<p>No. For some homes 5 kWh is sufficient, while higher consumption or future electrification may justify more capacity.<\/p>\n<h3>Can a battery work during a power cut?<\/h3>\n<p>Only when the selected system includes compatible backup hardware and is designed for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"nectar-button large regular accent-color\" href=\"https:\/\/offerte.greenenergyresolutions.be\/?lang=en&amp;service=battery\">Calculate my home-battery project<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home battery in 2026: price, capacity and return Updated in September 2026.
