Solar by day · battery by night
How your home uses solar and battery storage together.
Drag the timeline to follow a full day. While the sun’s up, your panels power the house and charge the battery. After dark, the battery runs the home — so you keep using your own solar all evening.
Daytime — your panels power the home and charge the battery for tonight.
- Daytime · solar powers the home & charges the battery
- Night · the battery (SigenStor) runs the home
- Morning · solar returns and recharges the battery

What our customers say.
Athena have installed a solar and battery system with home back up, at my property. My electricity bills have noticeably reduced and I basically now run my EV car for free! The system was well priced, the install went smoothly. I would highly reccomend!
Adam has done 2 jobs for me, and he has been efficient and prompt, and quick to come out when I had a more urgent problem. I'd recommend him!

Before you book
The questions we get asked first
Accreditation, coverage, cost and kit — plain answers to the things people ask before booking a survey.
Are you accredited and insured?
Athena Solar & Electrical Solutions Ltd is MCS certified, NAPIT accredited and a RECC member — and fully insured.
About Athena →What areas do you cover?
We cover Kent and beyond — the CT, TN, ME, DA and BR postcodes, from Canterbury and Hythe to Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Bromley — so you’re never far from expert help when you need it.
Coverage map →How much does a solar and battery system cost?
Athena’s published packages start at £7,500 for a Fox ESS 10-panel system (3.6 kW inverter + 5 kWh battery), and the largest package is £11,000 for a Sigenergy 16-panel system (6 kW inverter + 12 kWh battery). We also design larger systems to order. All prices are subject to survey.
Compare systems →Can battery storage be added to my existing solar panels?
Yes. Our battery systems can be fitted alongside an existing solar array or planned as part of a brand new solar installation.
Battery storage →Will a battery keep the lights on during a power cut?
Only if a backup gateway or EPS (emergency power supply) is installed alongside it. That is an optional extra, and it can mean upgrading your consumer unit, but we are happy to fit one if you want backup during power cuts. Every battery system still gives you off-peak charging capability and monitoring apps for performance tracking.
Can I charge my electric car from my solar panels?
Yes, though usually at a reduced charging rate, because the charger runs on the surplus your panels are producing at the time — most EVs can charge this way. We integrate chargers with your current solar panels, or can advise on adding solar, so you can charge your vehicle using renewable energy, cutting your bills and carbon footprint.
