Your solar panels work during the day. But, what about when the sun goes down?
That's where a solar battery can make a difference.
Your panels may generate more electricity than your home needs during the day. A battery can store some of that excess energy so you can use it later, rather than sending it all back to the grid.
Here's why homeowners are considering battery storage:
☀️ Make more use of your solar = store surplus energy for times when your panels aren't generating enough.
☀️ Use stored energy in the evening = help power your home after sunset, depending on your battery capacity and household demand.
☀️ Reduce reliance on the grid = using stored solar energy can reduce the amount of electricity you need to buy, depending on your usage and electricity plan.
☀️ Potential backup power = some battery systems can supply selected circuits during a blackout when configured with suitable backup functionality.
☀️ More control over your energy = a battery gives you another way to manage when you use the electricity your system generates.
Of course, a battery isn't automatically the right choice for every home. Your energy consumption, existing solar system, electricity tariff, battery cost and expected usage all matter when working out whether it's worthwhile.
