With the growing demand for alternative energy sources, many homes and businesses have opted for solar panel installation. Whether you’re already enjoying the effects of solar panels or are considering making the switch, solar power batteries can enhance the storage capability of solar PV systems to maximise your energy source.
Read on to discover how solar battery installation can help you get the most out of your solar PV system.
What Is a Solar Power Battery?
A solar power battery, also known as solar energy storage, is a device that allows you to store electricity generated from solar panels to be used at a later date. By adding a solar battery to your solar PV system, you can store any excess electricity you produce rather than feed it into the grid.
When the demand for electricity in your home is lower than the energy being generated, the direct current (DC) can be transferred from the solar panels and utilised to charge your solar battery. During the night, when your home needs power, the solar battery discharges to power your appliances and devices, enabling you to enjoy solar-generated electricity even when the sun is not out.
The Advantages of Solar Energy Storage
Investing in solar energy storage batteries involves an initial upfront cost. However, you will likely see a return on your investment within the first year. Since solar PV systems are built to last, you will continue to enjoy the financial benefits for many years to come. Here is a more detailed look at the top advantages of investing in a solar panel system with energy storage.
Energy Self-Sufficiency
Achieving energy self-sufficiency through solar energy storage systems allows homeowners and business owners to rely less on the grid. By storing excess solar power generated during the day, they can use it at night or during cloudy periods, ensuring a continuous supply of renewable energy.
Electricity Bill Savings
Over the past decade, energy prices have soared, and many homes and businesses have faced rising electricity bills. By using solar power stored from your own solar panels, you will reduce the amount of electricity you require from the national grid. Likewise, homeowners can avoid peak-hour rates by utilising their stored energy when grid electricity is most expensive, equating to substantial savings on energy bills.
Peace of Mind
In the event of a power outage, your solar power battery provides a reliable backup source of electricity, keeping you connected until the main power is restored. This ensures you are well-prepared for unexpected power failures, giving you peace of mind.
