Best Solar Batteries (UK) - Are These The Top Five?

In this video, we look at the best solar batteries the UK has to offer. We cover everything from the Tesla Powerwall to the Alpha ESS B3 Smile.

[@AllenHart999]

Good video. Thanks.

[@waynegaskell]

Great Review thanks, We moved into the property that has the Smile B3, but not the plus version, so then limited to 17Kwh and the expansion batteries for the B3 2.9kWh are expensive. You get can get 5.0 kWh for the PLUS for similar price. The Smile5 i assume has the analytics monitoring system too? I guess i'm debating on whether to go from B3 to B3 Plus.

[@chefgav1]

I have the dc coupled alpha and it works well

[@waynegaskell]

Also to add, your No1 at 13:34 says B3 Plus, but then 14:46 and your summary say B5 .. are these different models ?

Hi, I've just subbed as the clarity of information was great. Just interested as to why you omitted GivEnergy?

[@Heatable]

Hey Phil, thanks for subscribing! GivEnergy are up there with the rest but these are just the top 5 and it was hard to whittle them down. We are big fans of the GivEnergy batteries though!

[@Ash-Col]

You found it hard to include the best battery in a top 5? 😂​@@Heatable

[@Heatable]

@@Ash-Col It didn't quite make the top 5 this time but we'll see if it makes the list when we do an updated video at the end of the year!

[@aabarcellos]

I best do a giv energy video as it may be best for someone

[@TheFerryFisherman]

Pleased to see Alpha B3 plus system rated as number 1. Will be better once the App has been updated in the UK to enable forces discharge.

[@Heatable]

Great to hear consumer feedback on the Alpha B3 - it's a great battery option!

[@leonleon8675]

what about Huawei Luna 2000? Are they any good?

[@veleriebee]

I hope you also cover givenergy AO1 it’s a British brand and it’s very good

[@Heatable]

We'll be doing a review on Givenergy batteries in the near future!

[@ImPresidentYT]

Hi can I use a Givenergy 9.5 battery with the enphase microinverter?

[@Heatable]

Yes you definitely can. We're now offering the Givenergy battery that'll be paired with Enphase microinverters. If you're looking to get one installed check out our free quote tool 👀heatable.co.uk/solar/quote

[@phooogle]

The Smile AlphaESS B5 you said offers 10 year warranty for both product and performance, however you then post contradictory statistics in the pro/con datasheet as it is only 5 years product and 10 year performance. Their own site states the latter is true. Does this affect your rating as a number one product? I am seeking longevity given the costs.

[@Heatable]

The standard warranty for the AlphaESS B5 battery is 5 years product and 10 performance, but we get an extended warranty, so it's still 10 years for both product and performance if you buy it through us. We know how important the warranty can be when you're investing in this technology 🙂

[@phooogle]

@@Heatable Cheers:)

[@keswickcowboy]

Top 5, according to who? 🤷‍♂️ What about Growatt, Fox, Pylontech, GivEnergy to name but a few and the best (british) battery, PureDrive... imho...🏆

[@ericw9825]

Good

[@MikeGleesonazelectrics]

powervault told me that they dont do the P3 anymore,? they've gone to the P4. I have a 4 kwh P3 eco and they said recently they couldnt upgrade it with new batteries ro increase the capacity. Not impressed with that service but the battery has been good, not without teething problems tho. In the end I got a 9kwh Givenergy for about half the cost they were quoting a 6kwh P4.

[@Heatable]

Givenergy offer some great options, would you want to see a separate review on these?

[@JohnThomas-ey1hx]

2 Alpha batteries on the list but no GivEnergy. Hmmm, I wonder why this is - answers on a postcard!

[@Heatable]

We actually believe GivEnergy are a great battery! We want to do a full video on their battery options, any parts you want us to cover?

[@gaflandia2170]

No givenergy on a list?

[@Heatable]

Thanks for your comment! We have just recently fitted one of these and have filmed a review dedicated to this battery. Stay tuned!

[@grahamhall2662]

What the hell you on about there is not such thing as an ac battery. Just piles of made up jargon to confuse the customer. I would not touch your company with a barge battery.

this video is bs.
