Solar panels and storage heaters question,
Plus, unless you had the storage heaters on a dedicated circuit from the solar panels, they would be competing for electricity with any other devices drawing power through the day. By the time you have bought all the kit needed, I am 99.9% sure it would make more sense just to keep the central heating radiators in those two rooms.

Is solar battery storage worth it?
So by default, any electricity your solar panels generate will be used to power your home, and then used to charge your storage battery. Any unused electricity is exported back to the grid when your battery is full, or when you schedule it to (which you may want to do, as some energy companies will pay you more for exporting electricity at peak times).
