What is solar battery storage?
You can use solar electricity stored in your battery during these times instead of buying it from your energy supplier. This helps reduce your consumption from the grid, lowering your electricity bill. Solar battery storage can be used in residential and commercial properties. The bigger the property, the more solar batteries needed.
Adding solar battery storage to your solar PV panel system takes generating your own electricity to the next level. It allows you to store power for when it’s really needed, when everyone is at home after dark and running multiple appliances.
Solar batteries can be part of a solar panel installation package, or they can be added to existing solar panels systems so you can maximise savings.
Types of battery storage
There are many battery storage options on the market, from well-known and leading brands. All come with different levels of power storage and usage capacity, warranty and life spans, which is reflected in the price. Lithium ion options are also available. Compared with traditional batteries, a lithium ion battery charges much faster and lasts longer. It also has a higher power density for more battery life and it comes in a smaller package.
It’s important to ensure that the choice of battery storage is suitable for the solar panels that are installed, or you plan to install. We always talk you through our available options and design a personalised solar package for your home.
System benefits with battery storage
1. Store energy for later use – Solar panels generate power by day, but most homes use more energy by night. With solar batteries you can use stored energy to power your home at night.
2. More savings and increase energy independence – You’ll import less electricity from the grid, and can reap the benefits of solar panels when the sun sets. Plus, By utilising the power your panels have generated and stored, you’re decreasing your reliance on the grid and increasing energy independence.
4. Reducing your carbon footprint – Using more of your own renewable energy means you’ll be relying less on fossil fuels.
5. More control – Be in control. You can track and control your solar panel and battery storage system with apps like Fox Cloud.
