Solar Battery Storage Installations

How does battery storage work?

Battery storage systems work in conjunction with Solar PV panels or by taking energy from the grid to store excess electricity generated during the day for later use. These systems consist of rechargeable batteries that store the surplus energy produced by the solar panels. When the sun is not shining or during peak energy demand periods, the stored energy can be discharged to power homes or businesses.

The process of battery storage for your energy storage solution begins with the solar panels converting sunlight into electricity. Any excess electricity that is not immediately consumed by the property is directed to the battery storage system. The batteries store this excess energy as direct current (DC) electricity.

To make the stored energy usable, an inverter is used to convert the DC electricity from the batteries into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is compatible with standard electrical appliances and the power grid. 

 The benefits of using battery storage with solar PV panels are numerous. Firstly, it allows for greater energy self-sufficiency. By storing excess energy, homeowners can rely less on the grid during times when solar generation is low or when electricity demand is high.

Battery storage systems provide backup power during power outages. In the event of a blackout, the stored energy can be used to power essential appliances, ensuring continuity of critical functions.

Battery storage systems can help optimize energy usage and reduce electricity bills. By storing excess energy and using it during peak demand periods, homeowners can avoid higher electricity rates and save money.

Battery storage systems contribute to a more stable and resilient grid. By storing excess energy locally, they can help balance supply and demand, reducing strain on the grid and enhancing overall grid reliability.

Battery storage systems support the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid. By storing excess solar energy, they enable a more consistent and reliable supply of clean energy, reducing the need for fossil fuel-based power generation.

In summary,  by storing excess electricity generated by solar PV panels for later use the benefits include increased energy self-sufficiency, backup power during outages, optimized energy usage, grid stability, and support for renewable energy integration.
