Solar batteries are designed to store solar energy for later use – empowering your renewable system with an additional energy supply by allowing you to store solar energy during the day when there is more sun, then access that power at night when needed most. Solar batteries also allow you to draw on stored solar power in times of high demand, so your PV panels continue producing clean electricity even if the grid goes offline due to extreme weather events or other problems.
A solar battery is like a giant rechargeable battery, and it allows you to continue powering your home and appliances with renewable solar energy during the evening and at night. Solar PV panels convert solar energy into usable electricity and, more often than not, they’re producing more electricity than can be used. Without a solar battery, this excess is delivered to the National Grid or stored in smart meters. This means that you’ll miss out on using the energy yourself and will have to rely on your energy supplier once the sun has set.
When designing any solar power system, it is important to ensure you have enough solar power for your needs. It’s always worth thinking about how much solar power you need throughout the day, as it can be difficult to generate solar energy after dark. Taking this into consideration is key to getting solar battery storage right for you and your home.
There are several important things that you need hold in mind before buying a solar battery:
Solar batteries don’t last forever. You should take into account how long you want your solar battery to last and find out about its expected lifespan
Solar batteries often come with restrictions around the solar self-consumption ratio or solar feed in tariff. Find out if there are any solar restrictions when purchasing your solar battery
The solar battery’s warranty should provide peace of mind that it will continue to work during its lifetime
You should also consider how long the solar battery takes to recharge. For example, does it take eight hours to charge using solar energy overnight? Or does it need to be charged with electricity from the grid first? And what about environmental conditions like temperature and humidity levels, do they affect solar charging?
Our homes have been using smart tech for quite some time and the word ‘smart’ using means that there’s an app for that!
So we have tech such as Google Nest that allows you to measure, monitor and apply a temperature to your home. And like other apps, you can dim your lights remotely.
Smart battery storage works in a similar way, by providing you with technology that allows you to measure how your clean energy is used. The apps let you view how much power you’re using from the grid and how much solar energy you’re creating.
This is a handy feature if you want to understand how much power are is in the battery and will also help you identify faults with panels.
Some solar battery storage systems can provide backup power during power cuts, but this is limited and depends on the battery’s discharge rate.
