One savings illustration assumes a full battery cycle every day.
THE LEEDS FIELD GUIDE / HOME BATTERIES
Home battery installers in Leeds
Check how much solar actually leaves the house before buying storage. In Leeds, compare that export with the power you use after sunset.
START WITH THE PROPERTY
Look at exported power, not panel size
A Leeds household with solar may have a large array but little surplus to store if daytime use is high. Share export readings if available, alongside evening demand and the tariff you intend to use.
BEFORE YOU ACCEPT A QUOTE
Test the capacity against your own data
Ask how often the quoted battery is expected to fill and empty across the year. If the savings illustration assumes a full cycle every day, have the installer show the evidence for that assumption.
ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTE COMPARISON
Does stored energy actually get used?
Another uses measured export and evening use, with a winter case as well.
THE DECISION
Ask what proportion of days can support each assumed cycle. A capacity that rarely fills or empties will not produce the headline saving.

Check integration before ordering.
An existing solar inverter may limit how the battery connects and what the monitoring app shows. Send its model details alongside the consumption data.
