The local experts in the installation of Solar PV systems and battery storage solutions

Solar Battery Storage

The popularity of solar power has led to the rise of another renewable technology: solar batteries that can store extra solar power for later use.
Companies are developing batteries that can be installed with solar panels to create “solar-plus-storage” systems for your home. 
Read on to learn more about residential solar batteries, and find out if you should consider installing a solar-plus-storage system for your home.

Solar plus storage: Solar batteries for home explained

To appreciate why you might choose to install a solar-plus-storage system for your home, you first need to understand how a standard home solar PV system functions.
The typical solar energy system includes solar panels, an inverter, equipment to mount the panels on your roof, and a performance monitoring system that tracks electricity production. The solar panels collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity, which is passed through the inverter and converted into a form that you can use to power your home.
The vast majority of residential solar energy systems are connected to the electricity grid (or “grid-tied”). When your panels are producing more electricity than your home needs, the excess is fed back into the power grid. Conversely, when your home needs more electricity than your solar panels are producing, you can draw power from the electric grid.

Adding Storage to Grid Connected PV Systems

A large portion of the energy generated by a typical PV system will be exported to the grid and there is increasing demand for solutions to enable better use of this energy through the use of energy storage.
Adding battery storage enables this excess generation to be stored for use later when consumption is higher than generation. As electricity prices rise this sort of battery storage system will become more and more cost effective. Some systems can also provide backup power in the event of grid failure.
We offer several Energy Storage Solutions to suit different budgets and requirements
