Why Every New Home Needs a Battery (And Why Builders Should Care)

In a competitive market, homes equipped with PowerPod batteries offer a distinct advantage. They appeal to a growing demographic of environmentally conscious and tech-savvy buyers, making your properties more attractive and potentially speeding up sales.

Tangible Homeowner Benefits to Highlight:

• Significant Energy Bill Savings: Homeowners can save up to 70% on their energy bills. PowerPod allows them to charge using off-peak tariffs (as low as 7p/kWh) and power their homes during peak times (when costs can exceed 25p/kWh).

• Year-Round Energy Optimisation: Unlike solar panels, which are less effective in winter or on cloudy days, a home battery works 365 days a year, ensuring consistent savings.

• Immediate Cost Benefits: Homeowners start saving from day one, without waiting for specific seasons or weather conditions.

• Energy Resilience & Backup Power: PowerPod offers UPS-level backup, shifting power within 10ms of a power cut, providing peace of mind and uninterrupted living.

• Future-Proofing: With energy prices continually fluctuating, a battery ensures homeowners are always using the cheapest available energy.

• Meeting & Exceeding Sustainability Targets: As the UK moves towards the Future Homes Standard and net-zero targets, PowerPod helps your developments meet and exceed these requirements. It enhances the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings of your homes and visibly demonstrates your commitment to greener building practices. This aligns with the sustainability leadership seen from major players in the industry.

• Flexibility with or without Solar: While PowerPod seamlessly integrates with solar PV systems, it's a powerful solution even for homes without solar panels. This offers flexibility in your build specifications.

"For today's forward-thinking home builders, adding value-generating, forward-looking energy solutions like our PowerPod home batteries is not an upgrade, it's a necessary move to provide real value. We are providing an upscale, end-to-end solution that increases property value, ensures homeowners save significant amounts of money from day one, and addresses the urgent need for sustainable, future-proof homes. It's smarter building, quicker selling, and a lower-carbon future."
