About us

The independent team behind HomeBattery.com. We built the calculator and every guide ourselves, and never let an advertiser touch a ranking or a recommendation.

Here's who we are, how we make money, and how every figure on this site is checked.

About HomeBattery.com Mike and David

HomeBattery.com explains what home batteries do, what they cost and what they realistically save. We do not sell batteries, so we have no reason to make the numbers look good.

What we are trying to do

Home storage is a confusing market. Specifications are inconsistent, savings claims are optimistic and the rules change every year. Most homeowners are asked to spend thousands of pounds on a decision they cannot check.

We build the tools and the explanations we would want ourselves: a calculator that shows its working, articles that state what is uncertain, and comparisons that do not quietly favour an advertiser.

Our editorial rules

  • Conservative assumptions over flattering ones
  • Every figure traceable to a source or a model
  • Advertising and affiliate links marked, never disguised as advice
  • Corrections published, not quietly edited away

How an article gets published

1

Source

Regulator documents, manufacturer datasheets and grid operator rules, used as primary sources rather than press releases.

2

Model

Anything financial goes through the same hourly simulation engine that powers the public calculator.

3

Review

A second editor checks the claims and the dates. Time-sensitive figures get a review date.

Frequently asked questions

Are you affiliated with any battery manufacturer or installer?

No. HomeBattery.com is independent: we do not manufacture, sell or install home batteries. Our income comes from advertising and affiliate commissions, which never influence our rankings or recommendations.

How do you make money?

Mainly through affiliate commissions when a reader buys through a link on this site, and some advertising. We explain this in full on our How we make money page.

How often is the content updated?

Pricing, specifications and savings figures are reviewed regularly. Articles show both a published and an updated date so you can see how current the information is.

Can I trust the numbers in the calculator?

The calculator uses the same hourly simulation model referenced throughout our guides, built on conservative assumptions rather than flattering ones. It is a planning tool, not a guarantee, so always confirm final figures with an installer.
