What is Solar Battery Storage?

A solar battery can compliment your solar panel system depending on your energy usage.A solar battery is a device that stores excess electricity generated by your solar panels during the day. The energy stored can then be used during times when your solar panels aren’t generating, such as at night or during cloudy weather, allowing for greater energy independence and resilience.

A solar battery is an essential component if your home uses more energy during the evening. Your solar battery system will store the energy your system generates during the day for use at night when you are home.

What is a solar battery and do you need one?

HOW IT WORKS

Solar Battery Storage

If you are installing solar panels you should consider installing a solar battery. Your household can use the stored energy during the evenings giving you even larger savings on your energy bill.

Installing solar can have a huge impact on your energy bill. But what happens to all that solar energy during the day if you’re not at home?

Your solar panels will send any unused solar energy back to the grid under the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) and your energy supplier will pay you for what your solar panels export.

Some people are fortunate to be able to work from home in which case you can use the energy your solar panels generate during the day. But what about the rest of us who are in the office or on site working?

Installing a solar battery allows you to store your electricity generated by your solar panels till you need it. The battery stores the energy until for when your home needs it, most homes use more energy in the evenings.

Installing solar battery storage with your solar panels can lower your energy by up to 80%. This does depend on your homes energy use and how large your roof is to install solar panels.
