This month we catch up with Dudley Moore- Radford, CEO of Moixa, to learn about solar power storage, smart grids and the future of renewables

Dudley Moore- Radford,

This sleek, wall-mounted 5kWh solar battery is smaller than cabin luggage and can be installed in less than two hours

What are the advantages of installing a smart battery at home?

This technology helps to ensure you are making the best use of the energy generated through your solar photovoltaic

(PV) panels. You can also charge a smart battery by buying from the grid at off-peak times. What this means is that you can effectively use electricity in the morning to prepare your breakfast or take a shower, but pay the cheaper overnight rate.

You can also sell any stored energy that you don’t use back to the grid through the Feed-In-Tariff (FIT). In addition, with a Moixa setup you can opt-in to our membership scheme, which guarantees you £50 cashback a year on a fi xed income enrolment – there’s a profi t share option, too. Customers who sign up to Gridshare have a lifetime warranty for every year they are enrolled, meaning as long as you are part of the scheme we’ll replace your system when needed. Our batteries are installed in two hours and it’s a one-person job. They start at £2,950 but you can get a bundle with PV panels from £4,950. We also offer a 12 month interest-free credit option.
