Resilient, Renewable, Ready: Why UK Organisations Are Switching to Eqonic’s LFP Battery Energy Storage Solutions
We recently spoke with battery company Eqonic who told us about their research into batteries that, “contain no lithium, no rare earth metals and no sodium”. They also chatted about the return on investment for batteries in both commercial and domestic settings. Here’s what they said:
Introduction
As businesses move from compliance-driven net-zero planning to strategic investment in resilient, low-carbon infrastructure, battery storage has become one of the most cost-effective upgrades available. Eqonic, a British battery technology firm produces market leading battery energy-storage products which are built using advanced LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery energy storage technology. Their batteries are chosen for their exceptional safety, stability and long service life. They are ideal for commercial, industrial and residential projects. Eqonic also supplies solar panels, inverters and intelligent monitoring systems.
Alongside their LFP batteries, Eqonic is also testing a new generation of batteries that contain no lithium, no rare earth metals and no sodium. These pioneering batteries will be fully recyclable, completely non-flammable and made from abundant materials found in the UK, positioning Eqonic at the forefront of sustainable energy-storage innovation. But today, for commercial and domestic customers seeking reliable performance and predictable ROI, LFP remains the strongest and most deployable option.
Why Eqonic’s LFP Batteries are Today’s Commercial Battery of Choice
For commercial estates, manufacturers, healthcare, schools and ports, Eqonic’s LFP batteries offers several major advantages:
- High safety and thermal stability – LFP is inherently far safer than traditional lithium-ion chemistries, with dramatically lower fire-risk and excellent tolerance to high cycling.
- Long cycle life – LFP batteries commonly deliver 6,000 cycles, and come with a 10 year warranty, reducing whole-life cost and improving the investment case for business users.
- Low degradation – Predictable long-term performance makes financial modelling and payback forecasting far more accurate.
- Modular and scalable – Eqonic’s LFP systems scale from small domestic units to multi-MWh commercial installations.
For domestic users, LFP offers quiet operation, resilience during outages and significant energy-bill savings when paired with rooftop solar.
Investment, Payback and ROI – Practical Rules of Thumb
To help organisations understand whether an Eqonic LFP battery system makes financial sense, these simple guidelines are useful:
- Payback Period of around 4-5 years
Annual savings typically come from avoided peak tariffs, reduced, lower grid import and maximised solar self-consumption. This assumes the optimal amount of solar panels and the right battery has been installed. - Lifetime ROI
With LFP lifetimes often exceeding 15-20 years, commercial users can achieve strong multi-year net returns. Depending on use, our standard warranty is for 10 years. - Commercial “Value Stack”
Businesses should account for:
- Peak-shaving savings
- Backup-power resilience (reducing downtime risk)
- Demand-charge reduction
- Export or grid-service revenue (site-dependent)
- Domestic Rule of Thumb
By adding an LFP battery storage system to a typical three bed UK based home with solar panels, you can increase PV self-consumption from 20-40% to 60-80% or higher, thereby reducing bills, emissions and grid reliance significantly.
The Eqonic+ Advantage
Eqonic allows businesses and building owners to spread the cost of solar and battery installations into monthly or quarterly instalments, turning what was once a capital-intensive decision into a manageable operating expense, via their Eqonic + plan.
In Summary
Eqonic integrates LFP storage, inverters and renewable generation into a single, optimised system — offering businesses and households a robust route to lowering bills, improving resilience and achieving measurable carbon reductions. And with Eqonic’s next-generation lithium-free and rare-earth-free technologies in development, customers can invest today with confidence that their energy-storage partner is innovating for a cleaner, safer future.
