How Does It Work?

Solar battery storage allows you to store excess electricity generated by your solar panels during the day and use it later. This is perfect during the evening or on cloudy days. Using a battery maximises your consumption of solar energy and provides greater control over your energy usage and costs.

Here’s a breakdown of how commercial and home solar battery systems works:

  1. Charging Process: During the day, solar panels generate electricity from sunlight. Most of this is sent to your home or business for immediate consumption. Any excess energy that is not immediately consumed is directed to charge the battery.

  2. Battery Storage: The battery stores the excess solar energy for later use. It acts as a reservoir, saving the electricity generated when demand is low and making it available when demand is high or when solar power production is low.

  3. Power Management: A solar inverter, also known as a hybrid inverter, is a critical component for a solar panel and battery installation. This manages the flow of electricity between the solar panels, battery, and the electrical grid. It controls the charging and discharging of the battery and ensures a seamless transition between various power sources.

  4. Discharging Process: When there is a demand for electricity in your home or business that exceeds the solar energy production, or when the sun isn’t out, the battery system automatically discharges the stored energy. This allows you to continue using solar energy during the evenings or even when the grid is down.

  5. Energy Independence and Peak Demand Management: By using a solar battery package, you can reduce your reliance on the electrical grid. It provides you with greater energy independence, as you can draw on stored energy during power outages. Similarly, by using off-grid power, you’ll save money when electricity rates are high during peak demand periods.

  6. Environmental Benefits: Solar battery storage reduces your carbon footprint. By maximizing self-consumption of renewable energy, you rely less on fossil fuel-generated electricity, contributing to a greener planet.
