Fuse Energy opens reservations for new plug-in solar and battery system
A new solar and battery product aims to help households without roof space generate and store their own energy to reduce bills.
Key points
- The Jules system by Fuse Energy uses a plug-in design, meaning it does not require fixed roof-mounted solar panels.
- Reservations are open now for the system, with the company anticipating the first deliveries to take place in 2027.
- The product is designed to store energy when prices are low and use it during peak times, potentially reducing annual bills by up to £330.
Fuse Energy has announced the launch of its new plug-in solar and battery system, known as Jules. The equipment is designed to allow households, including those in flats or rented accommodation where roof space is unavailable, to access solar energy.
The company has opened reservations for the system, stating that deliveries are expected to begin in 2027. However, the exact arrival of these units remains subject to the introduction of specific UK legislation regarding plug-in solar and battery technology.
How the system works
Jules combines a 2.5 kWh battery with up to four plug-in solar panels. The system is managed by software that monitors energy usage, solar forecasts, and live grid prices to decide when to store power or pull it from the grid.
When solar generation is low, such as on cloudy days, the unit can charge from the electrical grid during periods when prices are at their lowest. Users control the system through a dedicated mobile application.
Pricing and availability
Reservations for the Jules system can be made immediately through the Fuse Energy website. The company notes that the entry price for the system starts from £199, though it states that purchasing four solar panels is required to reach the maximum estimated bill savings.
Fuse Energy acts as the provider for the battery, the electricity tariff, and the ongoing customer support. The final delivery schedule for customers is dependent on when government regulations regarding plug-in solar and battery systems come into force in the UK.
What it means for you
- Households without roof space may now have an option to utilise solar technology.
- You will need to use the Fuse Energy app to manage the system and monitor your usage.
- Deliveries are not immediate; the system is currently in the reservation phase until 2027.
- Potential bill savings depend on using the system alongside four plug-in solar panels.
