How the Latitude40 helps you buy less storage – and get more for it.
Batteries are expensive. In most energy systems, storage is the single biggest capital cost. The best way to maximise return on investment is to use free solar energy, not expensive grid electricity.
Latitude40 complements battery storage far better than standard roof-mounted solar, delivering a double benefit that increases usable energy while reducing storage requirements.
Because Latitude40 generates up to 30% more energy, it creates a larger daytime surplus to feed your battery.
The Result:
You reach 100% charged on more days of the year – ensuring a full battery at dusk, with particular benefits outside peak summer.
This is the game-changer. Standard solar output fades in the mid-afternoon, forcing your battery to meet household demand earlier in the evening.
Latitude40 continues generating strongly into the late afternoon, covering more of your demand directly.
The Result:
Battery discharge is pushed back later. Your battery works for fewer hours overnight and bridges the gap to the next morning with ease.
How to fuel your heating system when it’s actually hungry.
Heat pumps are incredibly efficient, but they face a timing problem. They consume the most energy in winter mornings and evenings – exactly when static solar panels produce the least. Latitude40 helps meet that energy need when your home is cold, your electricity is most expensive and reliable generation matters the most.
Static solar panels struggle with low sun angle in winter. Latitude40 actively tilts to capture every available ray during the colder months.
The Result:
Around 20% of Latitude40’s additional performance gain occurs in winter, delivering high-value solar electricity precisely when heating demand – and grid prices – are highest.
Heat pumps work hardest in the early morning, typically around 7am, bringing your home up to temperature after the night-time setback. Static panels miss this window entirely. Latitude40 wakes up with the sun, generating from first light!
The Result:
You offset the most expensive heating cycle of the day with free solar power, instead of pulling electricity from the grid at peak-rate prices.
